How do you get the Token API in Linux?
-
There are some listed here, but last time I tried only 2 of them worked and I was not able to play FLAC at all.

This is how I've finally managed to get my own token and log in successfully with it without using sniffing apps :
1 - You'll need to install the android app, if you don't have an android phone , maybe you can use an emulator or one of the options for running android apps in a computer.
2 - After you login in the android app, you'll have to navigate to the folder where the app stores the files with the token which are in: /Android/data/com.aspiro.tidal/cache/okhttp
Copy all of the files to your computer.3 - In a Linux terminal, cd to the folder where those files are in your computer and execute this command: grep -r "X-Tidal-Token"
Your token will be revealed4 - Go to the Tidal settings in Strawberry, check the option 'Use OAuth' and copy the token in the ClientID. Click login and you will be redirected to the browser where you can accept the access to your account and that's it!

@ruben2rl Thanks for the instructions, works like charm.

Yep, that android thing did the trick. Enjoying TIDAL through Strawberry right now, like a pig in s... . Beautiful! I love Strawberry... So cool that the developers thought of this. Thanks Ruben2rl for laying out these steps

It doesn't work for me, I get
Authentication failure: (401) (3009). -
@dimqua Are you sure you checked the OAuth checkbox?
I used https://github.com/FUFRUnidentifiedFLACRipper/python-tidal-async-oauth2 to extract the client id.

I tried this, Chrome says that the login is successful, but Strawberry still says it isnt. How does Strawberry get the information from Chrome? -
It looks like the issue is a failure of xdg-open. Not sure where the bug is, but I run Strawberry with the response URL manually and it signed in. Now the next question.
Does Strawberry support bit-perfect format needed for hardware MQA decoding? Its MQA that I'm after. I want my Dragonfly to turn purple!

@uudruid74
It does not support MQA, MQA is proprietary format and it's not possible for an open source music player to support that. -
@jonas Not possible is incorrect. Illegal possibly. You can't play a DVD without a special license, but open source software does it just fine. But thanks for the info. It looks like I'm back to Android.

Hiya. Total noob here. How do I use this to extract the necessary info for Oauth on Strawberry?
