Tidal not working through Naim App

As you will have read on this thread, Tidal will not currently work using the Naim App on a Uniti 2 until Tidal are able to fix the issue that is preventing it from working.

However, you may well be able to stream Tidal through Roon, or a connect service in the meantime.

@Richard.Dane i would think Naim have a pretty direct contact to Tidal?

Martin, I would think likewise, judging by Tom’s post above…

Stating the obvious but you would think TIDAL would have a test rig?

Thanks guys. I had read the posts but hadn’t determined if I needed to do anything other than sit it out. Will watch this thread for updates.

Tidal wasn’t working on my QbMk1.

I logged into Tidal from my PC, it took about 5 attemps to log in, kept getting a message there was a problem logging in, but eventually I logged in. QbMk1 now streaming Tidal, but it could just be a coincidence.

:grinning: :smiley: :smile: :grin: :laughing: :smiley_cat: :smile_cat: :heart_eyes_cat: Well done Tidal. Well done Naim. They’re all great guys.

I tried TIDAL about 18 months ago with my then ND5XS. Sounded great but too many glitches. So I abandoned it and kept Spotify which isn’t great quality TBH and local streaming. I didn’t think the old streaming platform worked with TIDAL anyhow.looks like many of you have been using it without problems until now.

All working again. Thanks Naim :grinning:

Sorry, too late. I’ve got my Shostakovich Symphonies box set out :smiley:

A firmware update won’t solve this particular issue, but once it’s sorted you should update to 4.7, which should get Tidal on your Superuniti working again.

Back to life on my Muso

Hi
Since yesterday night Tidal is not working on my Naim app either ( with my loved NDS as streamer)

You Press play BUT nothing happens.
I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app / switched on/off the NDS but nothing changed.

Now everting seems fine again.

I’ve just set up Tidal through my Star for the first time and everything appears to work from the app and computer.

Ok in my Unity2 the Tidal working.

Up and working now :slight_smile:

Can someone, ahem, in non IT speak explain what happened? Cheers.

Martin, this explanation from Steve Harris may be a bit technical, but even I can get the gist, so should probably be understandable to you too;

There are two protocols (crudely) for carrying webpage type data, http and https (the latter having better security). The Naim kit sends its login using http, Tidal put in a change that redirected it to their https software. That is visible to the card in the Naim, and sensibly it doesn’t trust a login that has been redirected elsewhere, so doesn’t continue with the credentials.
(Non-techie version I hope, but that always runs the risk of still being over-technical while offending the sensibilities of experts. My excuse is that I retired nearly a year ago after 35 years in networking and systems, so you can’t expect me to still remember.)
