Describe your network setup

Unknown

what tier of service are you with Tidal as Roon does not work with free tiers or trials.
Additionally are you absolutely sure you are logged into Roon:Tidal with the correct account?
30 second samples are an indication that Roon is not seeing a valid paid Tidal account.

Hi @stclair39,

Please double check the status and tier of your Tidal account; as @AceRimmer mentioned, a stoppage at precisely 0:30 usually indicates that the Tidal API is restricting your account to the hi-fi preview, not the full track.

If your tier of Tidal account shouldn’t be restricting playback, then log out/back in from Tidal in Roon Settings → Services or manually resync the account from the same page.

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks!

You were right I had a problem with the Tidal account and it is now fixed and Roon is also working. I am pleased, thank you so much for your help.
