Squeezelite Tidal and LMS

[jetson]

I'm testing LMS on Windows 11 and Squeeze connections on a WiiM Ultra and an Eversolo Play. I'm using Squeezer on my tablet. I find it very good. However, I have two problems:

1- I'm not able to get HiRes with the Tidal plugin; I only get CD quality. The Qobuz plugin works fine with HiRes. Is this a limitation of the Tidal plugin? Everything seems configured correctly.

2- When I create a group with the WiiM and the Eversolo, there's a slight sound lag between the two. Is this normal?

Sorry for my english (google translate)
Thank you

Yes, it is a limitation of the Tidal plugin. Tidal uses the protocol DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) for streaming music. The Tidal plugin does not support DASH.

It's a shame. However, I tested Roon and there was no problem with Tidal's HiRes. Why can't LMS programmers make it work in HiRes?

Roon is quite expensive, while LMS is free.
However, you could try this attempt at Hires Lossless (Max) and Dolby Atmos support

I have been trying to get Hires Lossless and Dolby Atmos working and so far, it seems to be OK. I don't think the quality of the modified code is good enough though to request a PR though. @michael...

I no longer have a Tidal subscription (switched to Qobuz), so I'm not able to try it.

Your link is a developer who addresses the initial developer of the Tidal plugin and provides him with a .patch file with these modifications to support HiRes. The common man can't do anything with that and we imagine that it was not applied to the plugin since it doesn't work.

However in the plugin settings there is a quality option where you can indicate HIRES (FLAC) but it doesn't give anything. Thanks anyway.
