Tidal Playback not working

kperakak

Hello,

I've managed to get my Tidal account setup and I'm able to login and search for music however I can'tplay anything. When I click play on any song I get a pop-up saying: "Received URL with encrypted stream from Tidal. Strawberry does not currently support encrypted streams."

I'm using Strawberry version 1.0.13 on Ubuntu 20.04 and have tried all 3 stream URL methods that are available in the settings (streamurl, urlpostpaywall, playbackinfopostpaywall).

Can you please assist?

Thanks,
Kostas

@kperakak you need a token for tidal app for android. I don't know why, but if you use the token of windows tidal app cause the encrypted error. So,

Install BlueStacks (an android emulator for windows, so if you have other OS search other)
Install an old version of Tidal, i.e. 2.37 (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/tidal/tidal-tidal/tidal-tidal-2-37-0-release/tidal-music-hifi-songs-playlists-videos-2-37-0-android-apk-download/)
Open Tidal App and do login
Finally, go to /Android/data/com.aspiro.tidal/cache/okhttp folder, and search in all files "X-Tidal-Token", in my case the file contains

https://api.tidal.com/v1/pages/home?deviceType=TABLET&locale=es_ES&countryCode=ES
GET
2
X-Tidal-Token: {TOKEN_HERE}
Authorization: Bearer eyJraW.......

If you have already Strawberry Music, uninstall it and install again.
Go to 'Tools -> Configuration -> Tidal'
Check 'Enable' and check 'Use OAuth'
Put the token in 'Client ID'
Click on 'Access'
A browser will be open, put your credentials and after that appear an alert with a button to return to Strawberry Music.

That last reply isn't helpful as he is not asking how to login. I have the same problem and have no idea what to do.
