Tidal Authentication
-
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.
Initial setup screen, with Client ID (image 1)Successful login via web page (image 2)
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.

@Cecu
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).
