Sorry Owladimir
I thought you was referring to more than 999 results displayed within the tidal add-on which Arneson fixed in his recent update.
If I understand what you are referring to then Kodi goes through a similar process of scanning the local files on your machine for the video and audio properties. What we do know, as Arneson has previously mentioned is that TIDAL does not supply this metadata for each file. I think maybe this is done for MQA albums though or perhaps Arneson uses some other method due to the lack of data provided.
I would imagine that as a result, your machine would need to scan a sample of each of these FLAC tracks on the remote TIDAL server to discover their spec which of course is not really an acceptable method due to how much time it would take and probably other problems that I would currently be unaware of.
Arneson, Is there another way around this? Is this something you are currently working on or are we already out of options and simply have to wait for TIDAL to update the data provided to enable MQA labelling per track?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated and this is something I have recently wondered about too.
Thanks in advance.
