Dear TIDAL users
Over the past months/years we've repeatedly seen issues where requests to TIDAL's servers were blocked due to rate limiting. You would have experienced non-functional menus, or tracks not playing etc.
I finally got in touch with someone in TIDAL who showed an interest to help us out. But their response was clear: we'll have to change the way you authorise SB to access your account. As of today you need to give us your full credentials (TIDAL username & password) - which indeed is far less than desirable. TIDAL asked me to implement their new authentication system instead (oauth2 for those interested). I fully support this request, as it's preferable not to have to deal with credentials whenever possible. The new system should be much more secure.
But there's a caveat to this: once we enable the new authentication system, the old credentials will no longer work on SB. Which means that the day we flip the switch you will no longer be able to access your TIDAL content, until you've visited mysqueezebox.com to go through the necessary authentication steps once again.
So please be prepared for that day, and spread the word among your TIDAL/Squeezebox friends. Thanks!
I'll update this posting or thread when I know more details, like release date etc.
