Everything is just failing. What can I do about it?

As per the pastebin below, everything is failing. I can't get a single album downloaded. You guys got any idea?

Hi @lpv11

Thanks for reporting 👍

Looking at the log closely, this isn't a content/quality issue, it's network instability with Tidal's CDN. You can see throughput collapsing to a few kB/s and then connections dropping mid-track (ECONNRESET, TypeError: terminated, truncated ContentLengthError payloads) on every album.

This happened to me 2 days ago, and the service get back in less than 1 hour later.
Hope it will be the same for you.

Anyway, I pushed a fix widening that detection to cover ECONNRESET, ContentLengthError, and TypeError: terminated so these cases go through the existing retry mechanism (up to 3 attempts).

That said, the underlying cause is still the connection to Tidal being unstable. Maybe worth checking the network/VPN/proxy setup too, since retries will help but won't fix a persistently bad connection.

Almost a day later, it's still reaching maximum speeds of 20 kB/s. I just added some albums to the queue so we'll see if it fails. The problem's more that it fails rather than the speed, although optimally it would be nice if it just worked :P Anyway, I'll report back. Thanks for clarifying!

Edit: It's still failing like before. Sad...
Edit2: I routed it through my VPN to try but it fails too. I guess that's expected though since it happens without the VPN too? I guess I'm unlucky..

You can also try to download directly in CLI using tiddl command and by pass tidarr, to be sure, but imo it may also fail :

docker exec tidarr tiddl download -q high url http://www.tidal.com/.....
