Really Basic Question - how to play a track from tidal using mopidy-tidal

[peadarforbes]

Hi,

I had been using mopidy spotify until that API was sunset recently. I decided to switch over to mopidy-tidal and have it installed and running on my raspberry pi.

I have a basic question - how do I play a song from tidal?

with Mopidy-spotify I had a command like:
mpc add <spotify track URI"

this would add the track at the spotify URI to the playlist and play it.

What is the equivalent for mopidy-tidal?

Thanks!

Hello, I would expect the usual tidal track URI to work; "tidal:track:xxxxx:yyyyy:zzzzzbut I have never actually used mpc or ncmpcpp or similar to access. I will try to test and get back to you.

@2e0byo do you usually use mpc/ncmpcpp for playback or do you use the web frontend?

Edit: fixed the tidal:track typo - it is bedtime for me!

I've only ever used the Web frontend. But if a properly formatted tidal track hits us and we don't play it, that's a bug. I'll add some testa to the integration tests (which use mpc) if someone can give me some examples which ought to work.

Fwiw don't you mean tidal:track:etc ?

Yes, you are right. It's too late for me now :)

I know that there are a few other mopidy-tidal users who use mpc in one way or another. Let's try to ask them for examples.
