Installation

Using releases

Various packaged versions of the software are available on the releases tab.

Arch Linux

Arch Linux users can use the AUR to install tidal-hifi:

trizen tidal-hifi

Using source

To install and work with the code on this project follow these steps:

features

  • HiFi playback
  • Notifications
  • Shortcuts (source)
  • API for status and playback
  • Settings feature to disable certain functionality. (ctrl+/)
  • Tray(/mini) player (coming soon)

Integrations

  • i3 blocks config - My dotfiles where I use this app to fetch currently playing music (direct commit)

Why

I moved from Spotify over to Tidal and found Linux support to be lacking.

When I started this project there weren't any Linux apps that offered Tidal's "hifi" options nor any scripts to control it.

Why not extend existing projects?

Whilst there are a handful of projects attempting to run Tidal on Electron they are all unappealing to me because of various reasons:

  • Lack of a maintainers/developers. (no hotfixes, no issues being handled etc)
  • Most are simple web wrappers, not my cup of tea.
  • Some are DE oriented. I want this to work on WM's too.
  • None have widevine working at the moment

Sometimes it's just easier to start over, cover my own needs and then making it available to the public :)

Special thanks to..

  • Castlabs For maintaining Electron with Widevine CDM installation, Verified Media Path (VMP), and persistent licenses (StorageID)
