      Hello,

      I am currently running Strawberry on Ubuntu Linux (latest version 24.x.x)
      I am setting up Strawberry to stream Tidal lossless music however I am running into issues.

      I have the required Client ID in the appropriate field, when I click "Login to Tidal" from the strawberry player it takes me (via my browser) to the Tidal Login page, in which I enter my login details and successfully log in.

      At this stage the page asks to choose an application to open a link, which I assume is used to pass the authentication back to Strawberry (I could be wrong).

      After this nothing happens.
      I have tried selecting both Strawberrry and also the browser itself (Brave) to open the link, but nothing happens.
      Strawberry still tells me that I have not logged into Tidal.

      Is there a step that I'm missing? What program is suppose to open the link after I successfully authenticate with Tidal?

      Thanks

        Just to add some more details, with screenshots.

        Popup asking to open link in xdg-open (image 3)

        At the moment xdf-open is opening the file in Brave browser, in which I have the web Tidal Hi-Fi app installed (https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi)

        However, when I tried to select Strawberry player to open that file/link, nothing happens. Strawberry players still shows that I'm not logged in.

          Most likely the other application is registered as URL handler for tidal instead of strawberry.
          Open a terminal and type:

          xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/tidal

          To find which application is registered for Tidal.
          If it's another application you can temporary remove that desktop file (usually in /usr/share/applications/).
          Also make sure that the desktop file for strawberry is correctly installed (org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry.desktop).

            thank you, I have been able to set Strawberry as the default app to open the link and it is now working.
            Many thanks
