This is a wrapper for TIDAL's web app, using Nativfier, which injects custom code to provide for a better desktop experience. It adds the following features to TIDAL:
- Close to tray
- Global keyboard shortcuts (by default, bound to media keys)
- Desktop Notifications
Click the above tag, or go to the releases tab, and download the latest tar.xz file.
Then run
tar xf tidal_desktop-vX.Y.Z.tar.xz
chown -R 1000:1000 release
cd release
./deploy.sh
Now you should be able to start TIDAL as any other desktop application.
- Node
- NPM
This has been tested on Arch Linux (Rolling Release) your system may vary
- Clone / download this repository
- Open up a terminal in said directory
- Change directory to this project, and type
npm install - Run
npm run build - Change directory to
build/tidal-linux-x64and run./tidal
Media Play/Pause = Play/Pause in TIDAL
Media Forward = Forward in TIDAL
Media Back = Back in TIDAL
If you wish to change these, see below in the FAQ as to how.
To be honest, same, but, I don't have the time (this entire thing took about an hour or two to get working). This method of injecting code is far easier to get working, and, at the end of the day, works.
Not through an option in the interface, no. However, you can open up resources/app/inject/inject.js, and change the option enable_notifications to False. If you want this to be persistent across builds, change this in custom.js.
If you want to change the keyboard shortcuts, open up resources/app/nativefier.json, and scroll down to "globalShortcuts", and modify it as needed. Make sure you only change "key" not "inputEvents", or your keys will fail to register inside TIDAL. To make this persistent across new builds, instead modify shortcuts.json, and run npm run build - the new binary will use your new keybinds.
There kind of is (if you're okay with more Electron that is). Plex added support for TIDAL, all proper like, and their desktop apps also support it (however seem to be Electron powered, or at least, Plexamp is). If you link a Plex account to your TIDAL account, you don't actually need a Plex server to use TIDAL (last time I checked anyway). This is here for those who don't want to use Plex, or want easy access to the features Plex doesn't have just yet, like Mixes or Discovery features.
