TIDAL login won't stick

Running latest core on mac osx mojave (mac mini 2012 i7).

Every time the Roon core gets restarted I need to log into TIDAL again.

Also, I get a message saying “Qobuz login failed” as well, Retry often fixes it (I subscribe to both).

This has been going on for some time now. What’s going on?

Hi @miguelito,

Can you confirm that you’re up to date on all remotes and the Core machine?

To clarify — Is this only happening after a reboot, or does closing and re-opening Roon trigger this to occur?

All remotes and core are up to date.

It happens on every restart of Roon Core, not just on reboot. Here’s a screenshot right after restarting Roon (no reboot):

BTW… This is a screen sharing session to the mac mini running the core. It’s been happening for some time now.

Thanks, @miguelito.

I have enabled diagnostics on your account so our technical staff can get some more insight into what’s going on here. The next time your Core is active a diagnostics report will automatically be generated and uploaded directly to our servers

Once that’s been received, I’ll be sure to update this thread and pass the diagnostics over to the team for further analysis.

I restarted Roon Core at around 6:30pm NY time and got the same errors so you should be able to look at your logs and see what’s going on.

The TIDAL error seems to have gone away now. However, the Qobuz login error (see pic above) is still there. Hitting “Retry” a few times clears it, so looks like a timeout of some sort.

Spoke to soon. Not only TIDAL fails to log in, it doesn’t even tell me.

Pretty terrible.

Error I get while going through the web-based authentication:

Same here :weary:

The TIDAL login authentication error has cleared now. I think it was on Roon’s side (server process or some such thing).

Still having this problem.

Same here, TIDAL and qobuz both fail. Music from SSD plays flawlessly. LUMIN app also works perfectly fine with both, TIDAL and qobuz. The fault is clearly with ROON.

+1
Same here

Same here… never had a problem with Tidal. What are you guys doing at Roon?

To be 100% clear:

Qobuz issue: times out and shows the message I posted above. After a short while it does log in and if I hit Retry the message goes away and all is fine.

TIDAL issue: Every Roon Core restart requires that I re-autheticate via the web interface. It does not remember the authentication. Moreover, I need to log OUT of TIDAL in Safari, then log back in, for the authentication to happen.

Try this:

  • Logout and disable Tidal account.
  • Shutdown Roon Core
  • Find your Roon database and delete the tidal_account file (Database > Registry > Core > tidal_account)
  • Navigate to /Library/Roon/Cache
  • Move the contents of the /Cache folder elsewhere, like your desktop, or just delete it
  • Reboot Roon Core and login Tidal again

I reboot my Core every day in summer due to thunderstorms and potential lightening strikes.

As It restarts I have also been noticing that Tidal does not auto connect as it used to.

There are currently issues with one of the big internet undersea cables to Africa which I suspect may be involved. The other option is that some streaming services are “saving” bandwidth by dropping HD Resolution on videos eg Netflix. Is Tidal doing something.

Once logged in Tidal works perfectly.

There is a lot going on in the world at the moment !!

Tried this. Did not find tidal_account in that location but found tidal_storage… Also deleted cache as you detailed.

Problem persists.

as a next step let’s try to refresh RAATServer to see if this helps:

You can generate a new RAATServer instance on your device by following these instructions, but please be aware that this will reset your Roon Settings -> Audio Tab to factory settings and I would advise making a backup of any custom DSP settings you have:

  • Exit out of Roon
  • Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “RAATServer”
  • Rename the “RAATServer” folder to “RAATServer_old”
  • Restart the Roon App to generate a new RAATServer folder
  • Verify if the same behavior occurs

Will not bother any further. This is for the Roon team to resolve.
