[BUG] - Lidarr - Tidal downloads broken

[PixNyb]

Application
Lidarr

Host platform
Any

Script
tidal-dl

Script Version
2.48 (main)

Describe the bug
It appears that Tidal has finally changed it's API enough for tidal-dl to be unable to function. An update to use tidal-dl-ng might be a solution to this problem, as this seems to function just fine.

When making a download attempt to any album the following occurs:

Starting login process...
[ERR] Login failed.Device authorization failed. Please choose another apikey.
[INFO] Download path:/config/extended/downloads/audio/incomplete
[ERR] No result. [248123865]

I've tried re-authenticating manually, and picking different API keys to no avail.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start lidarr with the extended scripts installed
2. Wait for the Audio script to kick off and download missing/unmet albums

Expected behavior
Tidal should be using my authentication to download lossless official albums

Additional context
Tidal-dl has been end of life for quite a while and tidal-dl-ng has replaced it in many cases. It should be rather easy to update the scripts to use the ng variant rather than the original tidal-dl

[TechSakima]

Is there any update for this? I am having the issue as well.

[Tubeman-cell]

Hello,
I’m encountering the same issue with the script version 2.48 (main) where tidal-dl stops working due to the API changes in Tidal.
Could you please advise if a fix or update will be released in the near term?
Thank you for your time and effort.

[steve1977]

This indeed would be great as Tidal is now basically broken for both audio and video.

Someone had looked into this before: #289

If anyone knows how to do, maybe help with a pull request?

[SeadogsBooty]

Any chance of getting this updated?? There seems to be a fix to the API and Tidal-dl exe is now working again as referenced here:
yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader-PRO#327 (comment)

[RandomNinjaAtk]

FYI: I haven't been actively working on this project because I haven't been actively using it, especially when Lidarr broke many months ago. I do plan to circle back to this but have been mostly waiting for Lidarr to be fully functional again. Which I believe the metadata service is still a work in progress, even though it is working at this time

[steve1977]

Thanks @RandomNinjaAtk , great you are planning to eventually get back to it. This will be great!

I've been following the metadata issue. It is actually fully functioning again by now and quite stable. There remain issues with spotify playlists and also the Apple Music / Itunes playlists as well as artist art not being displayed. But that feels minor to me.

The broken tidal-dl support is quite annoying. And the fix isn't as easy and less in your hands. Not sure what the effort would be to move to tidal-dl-ng, which would solve it. The other solution would be for someone to send a fix or fork tidal-dl. Tidal-dl seems abandoned.

Out of curiosity, what feature will you be using and is the video support with tidal & imvdb among them? Maybe the video support could be added as a plugin to lidarr plugin branch? The plugin branch is quite clean and stable.

[manifoldcuriosity]

Thank you @RandomNinjaAtk for your plug-ins that I have been using for many years now. I hopped back into this project now that the Lidarr metadata server is back up but was devastated to see that tidal-dl functionality had broken in the meantime. Hopefully the solution is somewhat easy!

[PixNyb]

Can confirm that the Lidarr metadata server is up for the most part! Personally my Lidarr instance works as expected again and I have no trouble finding any of my more obscure artists/albums

[steve1977]

Someone has fixed tidal-dl, so we should be game again. Can you use the forked branch with the fix?

https://github.com/devicelocksmith/Tidal-Media-Downloader

i tried dropping this in as a direct replacement for the deprecated tidal-dl, but i cannot get it to log in successfully. i keep getting blocked on tidals end. Has anyone else been able to log in with the new tidal-dl by @devicelocksmith ?

[PixNyb]

I've tried this as well, altered the startup script to use the fork instead but was also unable to log in even doing it manually from within the lidarr container

[mrlespaulman]

I may try rewriting my local files in my container to use tidal-dl-ng instead, but i suspect that will be a major rewrite. has anyone tried logging in with tidal-dl-ng lately?

[PixNyb]

@mrlespaulman tidal-dl-ng works just fine for me, but the commands and configuration are a bit different so it would be quite the rewrite I believe

[steve1977]

It seems @devicelocksmith fork will be our best bet and should work without any adjustments a Did anyone succeed to get it running? I don’t even know how to do so. I ran it independent of this script and it works flawlessly.
