Official TIDAL HIFI Streaming Issues Thread

[jcn3]

I got tidal to play by using an android device and bubbleupnp app. I went into BubbleUPNP settings -> UPNP Tweaks -> uncheck mime type check

 

Now tidal plays.

 

I guess iOS can only play tidal through the tidal app.

 

Tidal will also work with Lumin or Kazoo on iOS devices.

Hello,

 

Thank you for the detailed response. I understand how much critical information I've omitted.

Last night, per recommendation from RuneAudio forum ( http://www.runeaudio.com/forum/bubble-upnp-t2855.html ) I created a RuneAudio OpenHome renderer from the BubbleUPnP Server app running on my Qnap NAS.

That seems to have resolved it (for now).

 

So the problematic setup was:

-BubbleUPnP Android App

-RPi3 w/Rune Audio Image

-Tidal Hifi

Problem: intermittent stuttering

 

New Setup:

-BubbleUPnP Server running on QNap NAS

-OpenHome RuneAudio renderer running on above bubble server

-RPi3 w/Rune Audio (wifi and bt disabled)

-BubbleUPnP android app controller (samsung s7)

 

So, in my new setup, what part of the chain is doing what? Is my phone doing all the downloading from TidaI? I suppose I'm asking what the difference between a "server" "renderer" and "controller".

very simply:

* a server holds and provides your music to renderers

* a renderer plays the music (dac connected to the renderer)

* a controller tells the server what to send to the renderer

 

your set-up (or choice of words) still looks off.  the typical setup is like this:

* on your nas:  minimserver (server) and bubbleupnp server (helper app to define your renderer as open home capable)

* on your renderer (rpi3): software to play the music (rune in this case set-up as renderer)

* on your controller (samsung device): bubbleupnp app (or linn kazoo)

 

i'm not that familiar with rune, but it appears that rune can be a dlna server and a render.  if so, then you don't need minimserver and you're good the way you are (the server does not have to be on the nas).

 

now in bubbleupnp app on your samsung device:

* what are you picking as the "renderer"?  i assume you're picking the rpi3 (probably called "rune oh" or something like that).  that means you're picking the device as the receiver of the music.

* what are you picking as the "library"? i assume you're picking the rpi3 (again probably called "rune oh"). that means the music is being served from the rpi3.

 

in that situation, the rpi3 is the server and the render.  not a problem -- perfectly fine to do it that way.

 

notice you need to pick "local and cloud" to be able to select "cloud" and then get to tidal.

If you haven't read much about Cloudflare's public DNS, I recommend this - https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/

 

I've been using it since April 1 and like it.

 

just changed my dns to this from 8.8.8.8 -- HUGE difference.  thanks!

anyone else run into tidal issues within the last few minutes?  suddenly won't work with tidal or via the website.

Albums I have flagged as favorites aren't playing today, but if I search for the artist and pick the album from the list it does play. Using BubbleUPnP.

 

ok, thanks!  i tried to search for a random album and it did work.

You may have to 'reset the app data'. Here's how you do that:

 

 

thanks -- i actually meant "with roon or via the website" (had a typo).  @Daccord had the right answer, it seems -- tidal would play as long as you didn't pick from your favorites.  hopefully that's a temporary problem.
