just for added context...the error message that pops up is "[ERR] (Title of Album) Can't get the streamURL, type is application/dash+xml"

[shifty1725]

Getting the same error here. I've had to drop down the quality for it to work.

[0n0n0m0uz]

it was working for me early last week and then stopped mid week. Can't DL the highest 'master' quality.

Same problem here. Since 07/27/2024 the error appears: Can't get the streamUrl, type is application/dash+xml. Please help

[xxtensazenxx]

same error for me, it worked previously. [ERR] DL Track[G’Z UP] failed.Can't get the streamUrl, type is application/dash+xml I know the app is no longer developed or maintained, but I hope we can figure out a fix. I really don't want to lose the ability to download tidal. Does anyone know an alternative?

I'm also having the same issue here!

[ERR] DL Track[Wide Awake (Live) (feat. Charlie Houston)] failed.Can't get the streamUrl, type is application/dash+xml

[shifty1725]

It has coincided with the date that Tidal said that they were removing all of the MQA titles from their library.

[shifty1725]

Tried that and got the same error unfortunately.

[zedeska]

you have to refresh your access token if you haven't, delete the .tidal-ld.token.json file

[shifty1725]

Done that and still get the same error. The only way I can download is to drop the quality to high or HiFi. The limit on quality then seems to be 16/44.1.

[zedeska]

is your apikeyindex set to 4 ?

[shifty1725]

When I get the errors- yes. I have to drop it to 3 for successful downloads and that’s when I get the 16/44.1 flac file celling.

[zedeska]

Yes it seems to not work. I had this issue with regular flac, but it doesn't fix higher quality, I am sorry.

[zedeska]

self.apiKey = {'clientId': "4N3n6Q1x95LL5K7p",
                       'clientSecret': "oKOXfJW371cX6xaZ0PyhgGNBdNLlBZd4AKKYougMjik="}

If you put this in tidal.py and refresh your access token, you should not get an error when trying to download in max quality, but it download at 16bit, weird

[talios]

you have to change the clientId and clientSecret in the tidal.py file to : .... (taken from streamrip) and refresh your acess token to get a valid one

Ideally this should be done via a PR and a new release made - or are we just assuming this is now an abandoned project?

i still get the error "Can't get the streamURL, type is application/dash+xml" after changed the clientId & clientSecret and also deleted .tidal-dl.token.json. I'm using tidal-dl on MacOS

I dropped my quality down to HiFi and am getting 24/96k on some titles, but others 16/44.1k.... does anyone know if Atmos still works? I tried and just got a 2 channel output instead of 6.

[formidabilus]

If you drop to Hi-Fi it will ignore those with error (that I presume are the MQA ones), but if you remain with Master it will still download the flac ones, but will throw errors for others that are ignored by Hi-Fi, so it doesn't seem to be much change.

It works, by default it downloads in m4a format. For FLAC changing the settings and additionally installing ffmpeg is needed. Proven download to FLAC 24B/192kHz format. Sometimes it freezes when searching... Thanks for the hint.
