What settings to use for gapless playback? #9

Hello I have gaps in my FLAC playback by Tidal2 on RPi4. I think I could have had gapless before. The comments in issue #5 do not help. Are there any specific setting for gapless to work?

Please try to deactivate the setting "Use inputstream.ffmpegdirect as default player".

Thank you very much, but I already had this setting off. I tried various combinations of 2nd, 3rd and 4th setting (for FLAC) and nothing helped. So for now I am staying with gaps and this (I have KODI 18 on RPi4): 2022-12-13 19:27:54.835 T:2109887296 NOTICE: [TIDAL2] Got stream with soundQuality:LOSSLESS, codec:FLAC 2022-12-13 19:27:54.841 T:2109887296 NOTICE: [TIDAL2] Got Dash stream with MimeType: audio/x-flac 2022-12-13 19:27:54.907 T:2109887296 NOTICE: [TIDAL2] Using inputstream.ffmpegdirect for HLS playback

I also see othe message below: NOTICE: Creating audio stream (codec id: 86028, channels: 2, sample rate: 44100, no pass-through) I would like to have pass-through but I guess that is not your concern, it is problem of KODI

I found advice to use DLNA player on Android that supports Tidal, so I use that with KODI as DLNA client. Works well, gapless.

Dash playback works as video playback. Gapless is only possible with https streams. Please try an "Automotive" device type from a TIDAL apk. This will switch to https streaming.
