[iMusicDorian]

I have this problem too, and tidal-gui cannot show the device code.（My OS is Windows）

[etychon]

Ditto here - not helpful but good to know I'm not alone! Deleting the token does not help neither.

[adamsp70]

Don't think it's a bug.

Looks like Tidal now (since the 17th Nov) only allows downloads to authenticated devices - which can only be those running the mobile app.

https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005871525-Authorize-a-device

Hoping there's a way round this!

[apoplol]

Re-entering my token and trying to input an album gives me the following error: [ERR] countryCode parameter missing

Better than an auth failure right?

[spenser2002]

Do you think that yaronzz will fix this problem?

[regendier]

i think it will be difficult this time, i am not happy at all

Ig it could be spoofed

[DreamerSSDGang]

This is bull shyt how do we support the development so the project keep moving forward 🤔

[Jazdzor]

Maybe some fix via bluestacks, or other thing?

[DillFletch]

I've just started paying for tidal and if this is how they are going I'm not paying anymore! It seems there is now reliable way to get flac files anymore...

[danielrie]

Still be able to receive the track manifest with an android token - only the authentication script needs to be updated d

[Mr-Negative]

It seems like they maybe removed also client that is used {"status":401,"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Client with token aR7gUaTK1ihpXOEP not found","sub_status":1005} Listening to traffic made this error so fire stick. How clientSecret for this stick was obtained? Was it leak or by sniffing?

[deton24]

Pinging our master @yaronzz when he won't be busy.

[Mr-Negative]

Still be able to receive the track manifest with an android token - only the authentication script needs to be updated !

Are you able to sniff clientId and clientSecret of your phone? it is used in /device_authorization requests and /token so every time you log in

authorizing using Tidal.app desktop one so its important now to get token from device that can store data, like android phone 'authorizedForOffline': False, 'authorizedForOfflineDate': None

They changed also resp.manifestMimeType: from vnd.tidal.bt to application/dash+xml for some formats and because of it manifest = json.loads(base64.b64decode(resp.manifest).decode('utf-8')) need to be changed to xml one

urls for part changed but there is clear pattern name already in xml $Number$.mp4? but download needs to be updated.

So long story short maybe it will be updated, decoding file seem to be biggest issue

[p2mgrup]

Is there is any chance to fix problem with auth? Thank you! ;)

[Benmusar]

Same over here:

Looks like Tidal now (since the 17th Nov) only allows downloads to authenticated devices - which can only be those running the mobile app.

That is probably irrelevant, as how the current downloading works is not "downloading" in Tidals terminology.

Are you able to sniff clientId and clientSecret of your phone?

As far as I understand tidal-dl retrieves its "Device Code" by presenting itself as an OAuth2 client using a clientId/clientSecret pair spoofed from a FireTV HD. The mobile and desktop applications probably will not take that path and instead log them in "directly" (since you do not have to "link" the application with a device code to link.tidal.com). So you will not be able to sniff the required information from a phone.

Tidal may have rotated the client secrets for FireTV HDs, so someone with said device would have to update the official Tidal app, then perform an OAuth2 login and meanwhile sniff the HTTPS-traffic, which would require to set up a HTTPS-MITM-proxy (like Charles Proxy or Fiddler) and only works if they do not use cert pinning. Instead of sniffing one could also try to decompile the app and extract the secrets, if they do not use obfuscation techniques.

[Mr-Negative]

Someone said in other hub thread that firetv app still works, but probably it would need to make to hand of persons who know what to do, and hope that they didnt patch drm on firetv too.

[timholl]

With the 2021.11.21.1 update (which basically updated the client id/secret), I can confirm it working as usual. Thanks @yaronzz !

[owepia]

Thank you for the 2021.11.21.1 update, Tidal-dl is working again!

[Jazdzor]

Do you have gui version? i cant find it:/

[iMusicDorian]

Do you have gui version? i cant find it:/

Here is the address: https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader-PRO Though it seems tidal-gui still cannot work as its last update time is in Sep.

[Gatu988]

Thank you for the 2021.11.21.1 update, Tidal-dl is working again How did you solve it friend for tidal d?

[owepia]

Tidal-dl is working but this message is displayed:

"[INFO] For some reasons, this version only supports LOSSLESS."

So, not able to download MQA at this time.

[Stahlreich]

On last version, v2021.11.30.1 on Linux, I get same problem. What I do: start playing music on Tidal through browser and in same time run tidal-dl. After few seconds I got access token.

[kangur83]

On Last Version 2022.1.18.2 I get Error Device authorization failed. Please Try Again Later. How Can I Fix This Problem?

[rospod]

在上一个版本 2022.1.18.2 上，我收到错误设备授权失败。请稍后再试。我该如何解决这个问题？

So do I.

Guys... There you got the solutions, simple as this! thank you my friend!

[m8nky]

The only API key that works in the list above is '1', but its for Master album only. '3' gives Device authorization failed.

@m8nky: Your list may be different than mine as you may have different valid tokens available to you (see Valid column)! Check your available API Keys on your computer and just try to switch to another if that's available.

[chrisdashii]

still not work, only with "master only"

[FenrirWolfCL]

still not work, only with "master only"

I confirm that this solution works for me too. Running version v2022.03.04.2 on Linux. I think this information should be in the documentation of the project.
