Tidal only available in low quality and playback issues on Roon (ref#GTQXCX)

What’s happening?

· Other – My issue isn’t listed above

Describe the issue

Tidal will only allow low quality. Even going to the settings>services>quality - low is the only choice in the drop down menu. I have full subscription to Tidal. I have verified settings and logged in and out several times. Further, Tidal only plays about 30 seconds before skipping to the next track or dropping out. I am using an Ethernet connection to my core. Local files and radio work fine. I am a new user and have a full Roon subscription but am extremely frustrated and am about to cancel

Describe your network setup

Ethernet connection

It’s acting like you do not have a paid subscription to Tidal. Make sure you do and that’s what you are connecting to in Roon. It’s a Tidal issue, not Roon.

You should remove your email address from this public forum.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the spot, I’ve now obfuscated it.
If you see this in future can you flag the post (Something Else, This post requires staff attention for another reason not listed above.) to notify the mods.
Many thanks.

Have you recently switched from a free Tidal trial to paid?

If so, sometimes it takes a few hours for Tidal’s account management system to propagate the change. Once that happens should be well. If you still have the issue in 24 hours, drop another update here for Roon’s support team when they return on Monday.

PS

To avoid doubt, can you confirm this was for the Tidal account in Roon’s Settings?

Hello @Steve_Rathwell

Thank you for reaching Roon support.

Let’s start by clearing the streaming services cache.

  • Exit out of Roon
  • Find and open your Roon database
  • Navigate to Roon/Cache
  • Move the contents of the /Cache folder elsewhere, like your desktop
  • Try restarting Roon and verify if the issue still occurs
