Tidal playlists not working on 2.673

MyVolumio MyVolumio Help and Support
1

I upgraded from free plan to hear Tidal. I have tidal premium.

Single tracks can be played, but the big play button in playlists doesn’t work. The same applies for favorite albums.

Procedure to reproduce:

  • Tidal
  • my musik - playlists
  • Click on one Playlist
  • Click on the Play button on top
  • sometimes the first track is added to the queue.

Also from the list of Playlist with the … button no option works (replace queue, add to queue, create new playlist)

In this state the software doesn’t makes sense for me…

Could be a duplicate of the issue I reported here ?

How many songs are in the playlist ? Try clicking on the large play button at the top of a playlist and then wait a few minutes to see if anything happens…

For me a playlist with 270 songs in it takes over a minute to queue for playback from Tidal, and during that time it seems that nothing is happening…

Also try a playlist with only a few songs in it to see if it is related to the length of the playlist.

DBMandrake this could be a similar issue. My playlist is pretty long approx 250 titles and with luck the first was put to the queue.

I have tried now a shorter one with approx 20 titles. Here the first 4 are coming to the play list.

This is my old Raspi Model B Revision 2.0 (512MB). Is this too much?

Very interesting.
To queue an entire playlist, lot of concurrent calls to TIDAL API are to be made. So yes, an old PI might really suffer from that.
My suggestion: please upgrade to a PI3,PI4 or Tinkerboard. The user experience is so much better for the little investment :wink:

Yes - I have a Pi 4 and it runs Volumio much, much faster than my Pi 2 did and somewhat faster than my Cubox-i did. So I would imagine that an original Pi 1 would be a struggle. I would recommend the upgrade to a Pi 4 especially if you use a USB sound interface or wish to in the future.

However there is still something wrong with the Tidal integration at the moment if it is taking over 60 seconds on a Pi 4 to queue a playlist with 270 songs in it when the same length playlist is queued and starts playing in under one second using Qobuz. Hopefully this can be fixed.

Yes indeed, we will work on that

Sorry,
I’m trying to send you the log, I’ve never done it and probably I did it in the wrong way.

I stuck until today with the version from 19. December, which addresses this issue.

With todays 2.703 the mpd crashes are gone, and Bluetooth works now also with Android 9.

Went to yearly subscription. Well done! Thanks
