Tidal issues on Squeeze Touch

[ole]

Hi there,

When streaming tidal via ickstream the last 2-5 sec. is, often but not always, skipped on playing track jumping to next track. This is not happening when using Tidal app in LMS or mySqueeze no matter what player I use (touch or Boom). This happens on both album and playlist playback. This is extremely annoying - hope there is a remedy.

Favourites I saved in Tidal on my imac or Ipad is not listed on Touch - why?

I note that that the issue about Tidal on Ickstream shows MP3 and not FLAC when streaming on Squeeze Touch. (Post: y henne » Sun Feb 21, 2016 10:09 am) I don't see an answer from you to post 2, and I don't want to mess with logging setup in LMS . Pls. verify when streaming Tidal HiFi on Ickstream with Squeeze Touch it is FLAC when available and nothing else! Furthermore it would be useable if it would be possible to identify whether the track playing is MP3 or FLAC as it is normally on the player.

Looking forward to Your response.

Thanks for the feedback. I however haven't been able to reproduce on my setup so far, so it would be helpful if you could send some logs.
You can do so as explained here
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=383#p2594

Sometimes Favorites can take longer to synchronise we haven't found a fix yet that will help in all cases.

ickStream will always stream the highest available track from Tidal and your account, so if you have a Hifi account configured to play FLAC (it is by default), it will stream FLAC tracks, as long as they are available from Tidal (most are but not all).
The information regarding the file type is hardcoded on the Squeezebox for any service, so it doesnt reflect the actual file quality but what it is supposed to play, it would take some effort to make this change in LMS.
Currently the only way to know for sure is to check the logs.

Hi again,

The log as requested - hopefully correct!

As far as I can see there is "audio/mpeg" -and " formatoverride mp3 - no FLAC..

The several sec. skipping at the end of tracks on album and playlists - I really hope you have a solution to fix this problem. As noted earlier this does not happen when using the Tidal app. directly in LMS or mysqueeze.com both play with no problems and furthermore shows FLAC playback in track info. on SQT player. The issue regarding not showing favourites saved on pc/mac/ipad ect. is also working perfectly via the Tidal app. - not via ickstream...

Looking forward to your response.
