Yes that one's working for WIMP Music now as well. Good work!
I'll do a more thorough test of all the features on both Sites tomorrow.
Thanks very much,

Hi guys,
I want to use TIdal on my mediacenter (kodi). I believe I am able to install the addon, but how do I tell it to logon to Tidal instead of WiMP?
(probably a stupid question, but I'm really not sure how to proceed...)
Thanks

I downloaded and installed the zip file and manually set the setting 'site' to '1' (reading the code, that appears to be what needs to be done).
However when I try to login, I get a script error...

I got it working, I think I messed something up when installing different versions at the same time.
One question though, I'd like to control Tidal with my phone (xbmcremote app), however when I hit search I have to enter text via a keyboard (my phone keeps waiting). Would be really nice if that would. Would a different app maybe solve the problem?
Thanks for the good work!

I tested the version last posted by you theli_ua and it's working fine for me on both WiMP and Tidal. I think I tested all features and found no problems.
Like mmalkus I'm also using an iPhone. The problem is that the plug-in presents a context menu which allows you to choose whether to search for Albums, Artists; etc. This context menu doesn't show up on the iPhone remote app, so you can't perform the search
The context menu is nice when working on Kodi desktop and obviously works on Android too; but for search to also work on IOS, could the search options be moved from the context menu to the main menu within Kodi? This way search would work from IOS.
thanks,

Actually I want to correct what I said in my last post. You CAN use the remote on IOS to search for Albums, Artists; etc.
First of all you need to distinguish between 1/ using the remote on IOS to control Kodi on another device when you can see the screen on the other device (e.g. desktop machine) and 2/ When you can't see the screen.
If you can't see the screen you need to know the search is performed and see the search results returned from WiMP on your IOS remote. This actually works as long as you know that the search context menu in WiMP/Kodi lists the options in the following order: Artists, Albums, Playlists, Tracks. You can navigate this blind using the IOS remote's virtual mouse. If you want to search for an Artist, do nothing as 'Artist' is already selected. If not tap he down arrow the necessary number of times for the search option you want. Hit the middle 'OK' button to activate the selected search option. Now pull up the virtual keyboard in the IOS remote app and type in the name of the Artist, Album, Playlist or Track you want to search for. Hit the return key and after a few seconds, if the search returns results from WiMP/Tidal you will see the results in your IOS remote app.
So it's just a question of memorising or noting down the order of those search options and using the remote apps up and down arrows as necessary.
I hope it helps.

I think Geoff is right. However it is still quite inconvenient to have to switch from the IOS remote to the 'on screen' remote function.
I recall that the youtube addon has a similar search function that fully utilizes the standard menu structure thus not requiring the 'on screen' remote functionality.
If that could be implemented in the WiMP app that would be really great.
One other thing, Kodi updated my WiMP version to the normal newest version (which does not support Tidal). It would be more convenient if it does not try to update to the standard version (I guess this could be done by an increment of the version number?).
