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.

Hello, I use the OAth method its working fine. Still in Strawberry it says "Could not determine the stream type"
Can you help?

jonas

@orbanjan
Most likely the client ID you used uses encrypted streams.

Hello, I installed in Odroid-N2 which is with ARM CPU and works excellently with a Khadas Tone1 DAC. The Tone 2 Pro version appeared that decrypts MQA hardware, wouldn't it be possible to play with Strawberry and MQA?

Strawberry with the response URL

Hey there, I just created this account to ask this. How did you manage to do this: " I run Strawberry with the response URL manually and it signed in" ?

I'm having a similar problem than yours. I'm running strawberry in archlinux, browser is firefox.

Hello,

In settings, for stream URL method I see three options: streamurl, urlpostpaywall, playbackinfopostpaywall. Only last method works for me. Why?
Maybe due I have just Premium (non-HiFi) Tidal account?

Thank you.

Hi all, after following ruben2rl's guide I get a successful login in the settings, but as soon as I try playing back any song using the API I get:

Asset is not ready for playback (401) (4005)

The token I used is in this form:

[hex code redacted]:X-Tidal-Token: [likely token string redacted]

Am I supposed to use the token string after X-Tidal-Token? Or does the hex string that precedes it matter too? Also, how do I get a bit more info on the API failure? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!

PS: Do I understand from this Github issue that: "Everything works through the API using OAuth except for streaming. The problem is that the streams are encrypted. So unless someone can fix that we will eventually just have to remove the streaming and just use Tidal for album covers." - so no Tidal in essence? The login works in theory but that's about it?

I figured out how to get the Oauth sent to Strawberry
i installed strawberry as usual and got the client ID from fiddler
then i copied all of strawberry files to the tidal location and renamed strawberry.exe to TIDAL.exe then ran the app installed in its original location, ran oauth and redirected to chrome and im in

Now im receiving cant determine type of stream

FenixFeniks

@ruben2rl i have not been able to use this method to get my toke from the 25 some odd files in that location. Has this method changed at all to your knowledge?

kamilos_x

@fenixfeniks Same. Worked for me last time I tried it a few months back. This time I get no output after running the grep command

@kamilos_x I ran into the same problem with the latest version of the Tidal Android app. I had to uninstall the Tidal android app and load an older version (I used 2.3.7) and it worked fine.

Yes, it looks like something has changed.

In 2.3.7 (from APKMirror) the format is like this:

[REDACTED].0:X-Tidal-Token: [REDACTED/this is the part you need]

While in later versions it is:

[REDACTED].0:vary: x-tidal-sessionid,x-tidal-token,authorization

Anyway, finally got it to work.

kjetilk

I just reopened a Tidal subscription, since my daughter also wanted Tidal, and the hope it would work with Strawberry again.

I can't find a X-Tidal-Token in the cache files now on my Android Fairphone 3+. There is some JSON:

{"authenticationToken":"redacted"}

I tried to use that, but that didn't work. I suppose that's not actually the client ID.

Are there any changes that people have encountered recently?

nonsequitur

@kjetilk Tidal app version...?

Already back in 2022 the correct token was only available from an older Tidal app version. -> https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/post/1530

If the old-version-app still allows successful log-in - I haven't needed to this again so I don't know.

kjetilk

@nonsequitur Uh-oh. Everything is uptodate as of today here.

I used Tidal with Strawberry some years ago, but stopped as it broke for some reason that I didn't figure out. Decided to give it another try today.

I'll try and see if I manage to install the old version.
