Feature release of OxiTide — a high-resolution TIDAL player for Linux, written entirely in Rust.
What's new
Added
- One-click USB authorization in the Flatpak build. The USB permission dialog now offers Authorize: it installs the udev rule on the host through a regular polkit password prompt and retries the DAC claim automatically — no terminal needed. The copy-the-command flow remains as a fallback.
- One-line installer for every supported distribution:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yelanxin/OxiTide/main/install.sh | bash - Flatpak repository — install on any distribution:
flatpak install --user https://flatpak.oxitide.com/oxitide.flatpakref - Snap Store — published to the stable channel:
sudo snap install oxitide
Fixed
- USB device selection lost after authorization. Device ids are now matched by their
usb:VID:PIDprefix throughout. Previously a DAC selected before authorization could reset to the default output afterwards, and playback stayed silent until the device was re-selected by hand.
