Add Tidal Music Service to Wiim Home for Windows

[Saponetto]

As per title, someone would be so kind to add Tidal to the Music Services llist of Wiim Home app for Windows?
Thanks in advance for just considering.

But why? This is a serious question.

Doesn’t the Tidal desktop app support Tidal Connect?

 

[gwing]

yes, it does.

The Tidal desktop app in Windows doesn't work with WiiM for me since last week or so...

Do you mean that Wiim doesn't appear in the list of playback devices? In use Tidal Connect is rock stable for me but this problem occurs quite frequently - usually coinciding with an update to the desktop app. This is usually fixed by a re boot of the desktop PC.

A couple of times over the years I have had a more persistent problem caused by a Windows upgrade to the PC itself and on those occasions I have had to de-install and re-install the desktop app. On one of those occasions I had to wait a few days for Wiim to release an update making it compatible with whatever Microsoft had changed but they did that commendably quickly.

Still, just try stopping the desktop app, restart the PC and try again - that is usually sufficient.

Thanks, unfortunately that doesn't change anything. One of my WiiMs is recognized just fine, the other one is not.
Uninstalled / reinstalled / cleaned cache / installed through MS Store etc...

Ouch. Do you get the same problem if you plug desktop and both Wiims into the same network switch to rule out network issues? I know the hard way that desktop and Wiim won't talk to each other if one is on a wifi extender operating with a different network ID but I'm sure there are different ways to stuff it up as well.

I know.
The answer is simple, of course I have Tidal desktop app working fine with Connect, but I mostly use Wiim Home for Windows as my main interface.
That's why I respectfully asked to add Tidal, to get it available together with Qobuz.

Can you believe it - I just tried again what I've been trying for weeks, and suddenly my WiiM shows up in Tidal!

I hadn't even noticed Qobuz making it into the WiiM Home App for Windows.

Anyway, thanks for clarification. I now see what would be your personal benefit.
