Will gapless playback work?

I have an unused Pi 4b board here, need to find a case and quiet cooling solution.

For gapless playback see posts #697 and #333

There are a lot of cases for the RPi 4B, for instance the "GeeekPi DeskPi Pro V2" or the "Geekworm NASPi V2.0".
But it is better to use an active cooling. I'm using the Noctua NF-A4x10 5V fan with my Compute Module 4 on the Waveshare CM4-IO-BASE-B base mudule and the Waveshare CM4-HEATSINK.
I connected the 4cm fan together with the CM4 module because this has also 4cm holes for the screws. The Noctua fan can be connected to th 3-pin fan connector on the Waveshare board.

Hey @arneson, I just did the upgrade from Matrix to Nexus and had to notice that the context menu entry 'Queue' is no longer present, only for the TIDAL2 addon, for normal library entries it is still present.
I mean, these entries to add songs or albums to the current playlist or to play them next is absolutely essential in my opinion - can you do something about it or is this a Kodi thing?

Hi @C.O.D, it seems that there is no context menu item anymore to queue an item when an addon generates an item list.
You can use the Q button instead to queue an item.
Otherwise you can set a keyboard command to the actions "Queue" or "PlayNext".

[arneson]

You can insert the missing context menu items if you modify the items.py source file as follows:

python  resources/lib/tidal2/items.py:


    def getListItem(self):

        li = xbmcgui.ListItem(self.getLabel())

        if isinstance(self, tidal.PlayableMedia) and getattr(self, 'available', True):

            li.setProperty('isplayable', 'true')

        artwork = {'thumb': Const.addon_icon, 'fanart': Const.addon_fanart}

        if getattr(self, 'image', None):

            artwork['thumb'] = self.image

        if getattr(self, 'fanart', None):

            artwork['fanart'] = self.fanart

        li.setArt(artwork)

        # In Favorites View everything as a Favorite

        if self._is_logged_in and hasattr(self, '_isFavorite') and '/favorites/' in sys.argv[0]:

            self._isFavorite = True

        cm = self.getContextMenuItems()

        # Add Queue and PlayNext context menu items

        if isinstance(self, (tidal.Track, tidal.Video)) and KODI_VERSION >= (20, 0):

            cm.append((xbmc.getLocalizedString(13347), 'Action(Queue)'))

            cm.append((xbmc.getLocalizedString(10008), 'Action(PlayNext)'))

        if len(cm) > 0:

            li.addContextMenuItems(cm)

        return li

Wow, nice of you, thank you very much!

Hello, would you help me wit tidal login? Which file so I have to load from android to have it working on tidal 2 app installed on latest libreelec? I have tried to read the token from windows app but it seems to be not available over there anymore.

[arneson]

1) Search the web for "TIDAL apk mirror"
2) Download the latest original TIDAL apk there (the apk file not the bundle)
3) Upload this apk to a shared folder of your LibreELEC system
4) In LibreELEC open the TIDAL2 addon settings
5) From there choose "Select device type from TIDAL APK file"
6) Search for the uploaded apk file and select it
7) Choose device type "Automotive" or "Tv"
8) Choose "Login" on the TIDAL2 home menu
8) Login with the code link URL which is shown to you

Thanks for your help. It works well. I have one more question, is it possible to add tidal as a source to music library.

[arneson]

Hi @thedogg,
I allready tried to build up a virtual library directory with strm files containing the TIDAL2 playback urls for tracks, but this doesn't work. It seems, this only works for video files and nor for music.
If you find another music streaming addon which integrates itself into the Kodi music library, please let me know, which addon it is. Then I can look into this addon how it works.
