LMS8 + UPnP bridge + Tidal + Sonos = Success

Hi.

The main UPnP bridge thread is pushing 300 pages. Not sure if posting there is better or worse than a new thread.

Now that the new Tidal account credentials have been sorted out, I had to wrestle a bit with the bridge config. It works now, so I wanted to share what works for me.


- log on to www.mysqueezebox.com, add Tidal App unless already in place
- remove Tidal credentials by clicking the 'no-entry' symbol
- add fresh Tidal credentials by clicking 'Log in' under 'Add Another account'. You will be redirected to login.tidal.com
- .... and back to www.mysqueezebox.com afterwards
- make sure your Sonos device is on, and on the same network as your LMS8 server.
- install LMS8
- connect LMS8 to mysqueezebox.com (unless already connected) under Settings | mysqueezebox.com. Remember to click apply.
- Under Settings | Plugins, ensure that 'Tidal (v2.0)' and 'UPnP/DLNA bridge' are enabled (checkbox). Remember to click apply.
- Upon reloading the Plugins page, you may get a notification that the 'UPnP/DLNA bridge' can be updated. Check the box and click apply.
- Click the 'UPnP/DLNA bridge' 'settings' (far right)
- Uncheck the 'Running' box and click apply
- Click the 'Generate' button, wait 30 secs, reload page and go back to Plugins | UPnP/DLNA bridge settings.
- Leave other settings as is. ('Autosave' enabled)
- In the bottom chunk of settings, there should be a drop-down menu defaulting to '[common parameters]'. Click that and choose your player.
- Click 'Fetch'
- Choose 'Sonos' under 'Apply predefined player profile'. Check the 'Apply' checkbox. Then click the 'Apply' button for good measure.
- Start the bridge
