Improvement to Tidal syncing [Resolved]

[Sallah_48 (David)]

There’s a delay between the release of new albums on Tidal and when they appear in Roon searches.

This means that most of my searching for Tidal albums is done in Tidal itself. I favourite albums in Tidal apps then have to go back to Roon and manually sync them via the…

menu>setting>services>tidal edit>sync library now

procedure which is frankly a PIA.

Given that Tidal seems to be a hugely important part of the Roon world, it’s odd that the syncing is buried so deep.

Of course I am aware too that it auto syncs from time to time, but it’s nice to be able to listen to stuff within Roon as soon as I bookmark it in Tidal.

Please consider making the sync with tidal button far more prominent, like next to the ubiquitous seach and bookmark buttons on the top RHS of the screen. Or as a dedicated option in the pull down menu perhaps?

Thanks for considering

Roon is only a day or two behind Tidal in regards to content available directly through Roon.

There’s no way around it at the moment (sadly). You generally have to wait up to ~40 hours. Sometimes they show up in Roon quicker, sometimes longer.

Maybe you didn’t fully understand what I wrote–the expected number isn’t 12 hours, it’s 3-27hrs on TIDAL’s end + 12hrs on ours. They put something into their database and it becomes available via their API (which is used by the TIDAL app and Audirvana) immediately. Up up to 24 hours passes before they begin dumping that data out of into a feed for us. That dumping process takes about 3 hours. Then we can start downloading it. At this point, 3-27 hours have passed since the data hit TIDAL’s AP…

Faster updates to Roon's Tidal new releases - at least as quick as Audirvana's Tidal new releases

Hi Roon Team As you all know from all my glowing posts, I love all your work. And I know from posts buried in other threads that this request is being worked on. But I thought I’d capture it under a Feature Request anyway. I just woke up to messages from friends asking if I’d heard a new track that dropped overnight and that’s trending globally. I got up out of bed, put some clothes on, made a coffee, loaded up Roon and to my anguish it hasn’t shown up (did the services refresh and all, like…

One question for @brian

Is the ‘refresh’ button in the top left directly linked to services>tidal edit>sync library now ?

If not, can it be?

By golly that works!! Just tested it out. It does sync the account

How did I fail to spot that when I was preparing my rant and looking at the process this morning, lol!

Thanks Sean.

Yes, it is.

Cheers. Reason I asked is I’ve seen Support ask people (having issues) to do it the ‘long way’. It’s no biggie but I wondered why, if the refresh button does the same.
