mopidy-tidal 0.2.6

Tidal music service integration

Tidal music service integration.

Installation

Install by running:

pip install Mopidy-Tidal
or
pip3 install Mopidy-Tidal

In case you are upgrading your Mopidy-Tidal installation from the latest git sources, make sure to do a force upgrade from the source root:

sudo python3 setup.py install --force

Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-Tidal to your Mopidy configuration file, if it is not already present.

The configuration is usually stored in /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf or possibly ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf, depending on your system configuration

[tidal]
enabled = true
quality = LOSSLESS
#client_id =
#client_secret =

Quality can be set to LOSSLESS, HIGH or LOW. Hi_RES(master) is currently not supported. Lossless quality (FLAC) requires Tidal HiFi Subscription.

Tidal API client_id, client_secret can be overridden by the user if necessary.

When using High and Low quality, be sure to install gstreamer bad-plugins, eg.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

This is mandatory to be able to play m4a streams.

OAuth Flow

Using the new OAuth flow, you now have to visit a link to connect the mopidy app to your login. When you restart the Mopidy server, check the latest systemd logs and find a line like:

journalctl -u mopidy | tail -5
...
Visit link.tidal.com/AAAAA to log in, the code will expire in 300 seconds``

Go to that link in your browser, approve it, and that should be it. Note that this is a blocking action, so Mopidy will not load until you approve the application. The OAuth session will be reloaded automatically when Mopidy is restarted. However, it will be necessary to perform these steps again if/when the session expires.
