thanks for the help!

mglae so is the issue with the tidal2 plugin since it fails with 403? Or will this be fixed in the nightly build in about two days?

Sorry about that! I just created a new install of kodi to test this, in case anything else was influencing it. I applied your update, and then enabled logging correctly this time.

Here is the log file: https://paste.kodi.tv/ovijaxahat

For the last track I played the MQA version, and it played. Not all tracks have MQA, and MQA is getting phased out of tidal, so this is not a good solution. And MQA is a proprietery compression algorithm built for better DRM, but thats another debate. Anyways, every other version of a track (high res, flac) would not play.

Here is another log file with content-specific logging enabled for ffmpeg. https://paste.kodi.tv/qeweqojica

I'm not sure if this will be useful, but I hope it is! The last track again is an MQA, which successfully played.

Thank you! I put the .tar in that folder and rebooted. Here is my log when attempting to stream hifi.

I messed up trying to convert this to an .img, could you either create that for me or tell me how to do that? I'm not too knowledgable on this

I'm using rpi4

if you scroll down to the bottom of the repo, they say

"I found out that the imputstream.ffmpegdirect addon for Linux platforms isn't able to play MPEG-Dash streams.

The Dash demultiplexer seems not to be compiled into this addon."

I'm not sure either why it is not working in libreelec, but I have a new system with nothing else that would effect it. the only annoying thing about this issue is that to troubleshoot it will need a tidal subscription/free trial or a way to stream audio to yourself.

also thank you for linking that, emveepee! I tried that out, and was unable to get that to work with the 21.2 aarch64 version, which should work well on my pi. it would just be great if this issue could be fixed with the default addon.

The inputstream.ffmpegdirect cannot decode sources of hifi audio streaming over MPEG-DASH, and instead this addon has to stream over https. This leads to higher bandwidth, and inability to play some hires audio. Is there any chance that this will be added?

Here, scroll to the bottom of this page to see more information about it and why this matters: https://github.com/arnesongit/plugin.audio.tidal2

Also, here is a workaround this person found, but will not work with libreelec, since it requires apt. https://github.com/arnesongit/plu…/README-Dash.md
