tidal-desktop installed and starts up fine, but does not play #3

I installed the tidal-desktop AMD64 binary downloaded from github, on my openSUSE 15.0 laptop. The program starts up fine, and I can log in to my tidal account and browse my collection. But when I attempt to play any track, the player bar at the bottom shows the "play" button, it doesn't start playing, and clicking on the button has no effect.

No error message dialog appears on screen. The following message is output on stderr in the xterm window where I started tidal:

$ tidal (electron) 'app.makeSingleInstance(cb)' is deprecated. Use 'app.requestSingleInstanceLock() and app.on('second-instance', cb)' instead.

If I run the Tidal web app from their website (on Firefox, Chromium and Google Chrome) they all work fine.

Turns out that the tidal binary tarball does not include libpepflashplayer.so. I found it on my system as /usr/lib64/chromium/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so, so I added a symlink from the tidal-linux-x64 directory to there, and made sure to start tidal in that directory. Then it worked!
