Add Tidal support to Music providers

[marcelveldt]

Add support for Tidal as music source/provider

[ezpl]

I would love to help with testing this as soon as there is anything that could possibly connect.

[nzachow]

If someone can provide me some pointers on where to start implementing this feature I can try to code this integration.

[marcelveldt]

It's being worked on by a nice community member

[MadsTheEngineer]

That is awesome! What is the ETA for a feature like this?

[quizzical86]

Very glad to read that there's a community member working on this (and a nice bonus that it's a nice one :-D )
To whomever it is: thanks!!!

[majbom]

Good to hear. I don't hope your new job situation gets in the way.
Congratulations by the way :)

[Eric-N-Be]

realy nice idee ... thanks at the community ... I'd be happy to be a tester

[jozefKruszynski]

If you happen to need another tester, please count me in

[EpicMount]

I'd be happy to be a tester as well. FWIW, I have a Tidal Premium account.

[sebrep]

where is the code, I could maybe help out a bit, is there a branch?

[marcelveldt]

@nzachow do you have the code in a branch somewhere so people can jump in and help ?

[hallidaydaniel]

Any news on this, is there a branched / forked repo to look at and help out with?

[CoreyJ87]

wondering the same. I would like to get this going if possible.

[quizzical86]

Dear @sebrep, @hallidaydaniel and @CoreyJ87 thanks a lot for offering your help in making this happen. It's by far the most upvoted feature request for Music Assistant. I was wondering whether @marcelveldt and @nzachow have taken you up on your offer?
I would love this feature because the native Tidal integration with my Denon HEOS speakers is quite poor (e.g it can't play the automatically generated playlists based on my music taste).
Thanks for your insights!

[oneofthemany]

cant wait for this feature - if any testers are needed give me a shout

[JimmyMPage]

This is great news! I love Tidal. Can't wait. Willing to test as well.

[gogui63]

@marcelveldt If necessary, I can add you to my premium account (Hifi family account with free slots).

[CoreyJ87]

Any updates on this? I really wanna use MA but I'm waiting on tidal support. Since that all I have.

[Jarvisv12]

Can't wait would love this

[Tontze]

Awesome 👯‍♂️

[marcelveldt]

I will try to include Tidal in the upcoming v2.0 release of MA and if that doesn't make it, it will be in the follow up release shortly after. So, a little bit more patience of a few weeks please.

[quizzical86]

Bedankt voor de update Marcel, much appreciated!

[grzywek]

Would that be able to play music via MA but still control it from Tidal app? I have media player connected to Home Assistant which is not visible in the Tidal app itself.

[Madelena]

Yeah, it would be nice if it works as a Tidal Connect speaker.

[mariuszpelka]

@marcelveldt anything regarding Tidal integration in MA? We are in half march now :)
Looking at commit activity the project is frozen. Tidal connect or any Tidal integration still invisible in code.

[OzGav]

It is in the queue but lowest priority at this time

[oneofthemany]

Are you guys integrating this API:

https://pypi.org/project/tidalapi/

Seems like some of the leg work has been done

[OzGav]

There is discussion occurring about this on discord. So hopefully someone will pick this up soon.

[Sirs0ri]

There's been some progress and Tidal's been in the 2.0.0 beta builds for a while, see #1201!
