I can log into Tidal through Roon. I can also log into Tidal from through Tidal's website. I can play songs from Tidal through previously saved playlists, but I cannot search or play any music from Tidal outside these playlists.

Describe your network setup

Everything is connected through ethernet

Are you saying that, ignoring Roon, that if you use Tidal’s own application, you are having these same issues?

Hi @Eric_Gibb,

If these issues don’t reproduce within the Tidal app outside of Roon, then please navigate to Roon Settings → Services and open the Tidal window. Log out and back into Roon.

From there, please verify that you have a reliable DNS server in your router settings. We recommend Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) based on the reports of users in this forum. This will help make sure Roon reliably resolves the address for Tidal’s login servers, in case sessions are becoming unauthorized midway through.
