TIDAL Connect Installation

May 12, 2003May 25, 2024 Linux Audio Team

For Raspberry PI 5 and PI 4 with bookworm OS and amd64 and odroid platform use an upnp client with Tidal plugin (see upnp renderer tutorial for more info)

# OPTIONAL: install Tidal Connect For Raspberry PI 4 with 32 Bit OS only,

# using your DAC to listen music from Tidal

Tidal Connect is a service similar to Spotify Connect. Using the Tidal app to play a song you can easily click the device selector icon (top right) to select the Musiclounge Streamer audio server.

We are going to install it on MusicLounge Audio Server for Raspberry PI 4 as Tidal connect linux binary seems to be only available on arm 32bit (Raspberry PI). This installation is based on https://github.com/shawa github repo.

# if install pkg ends with error:

# STEP17
# OPTIONAL: Install a DLNA server (browse and stream the music very easily with your Upnp music player client )
# MiniDLNA Project:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/
# Install DLNA server type:


$ sudo apt install minidlna


# Edit configuration the server:


$ sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf


media_dir=A,/mnt/media
friendly_name=MusicLounge
# CTRL+O to save

# CTRL+X to exit


$ sudo systemctl enable minidlna
$ sudo systemctl start minidlna




$ sudo systemctl status minidlna


# That’s it! you can now browse the music library with your Upnp music player like BubbleUpnp


  
# to check the status of the DLNA server open your net browser and type the ip address of the Raspberry followed by the dedicated port 8200:

# http://192.168.x.x:8200

TROUBLESHOOTING
# force update minidlna database


$ sudo systemctl stop minidlna.service
$ sudo systemd-run -t /usr/sbin/minidlnad -r -f /etc/minidlna.conf

		Add LIRC Service (Odroid IR Remote Ctrl)
				
			May 11, 2003March 7, 2023 Linux Audio Team		

			


	
		

# ###############################################################################

# if Triggerhappy RC service has been previously installed

# it may not be necessary to install Lirc

# ###############################################################################
# STEP 16bis
# OPTIONAL: Remote Control Management with LIRC
# the previous tutorial on remote management by the very easy to use TriggerHappy did not make you happy? so you want a deep control of your RC? read the following…
# Using the integrated IR sensor of the Odroid board to drive your music library with a remote control is possible

# We are going to install a remote control management using LIRC (Linux Infrared Remote Control )
# for the example we use a very common Remote Control using the standard MCE (Media Center Remote Control) format

# reference Remote Control is XPC-RC01 or RC6 Media Center
# do not plug the USB IR sensor included with the remote control, in this example we do not need it as we use the IR sensor integrated on Odroid board

# more info on LIRC is available here: https://lirc.org/
# a snapshot of lirc remotes is available for download here:

# download it, extract it and browse remote images to find the closest one

https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc-remotes/code/ci/master/tree/remotes/
    
# install LIRC
