Had an odd issue with using Tidal with PlexAmp. When playing Tidal content from my library, it shows as streaming in AAC 320 (pic 1). When I search for and play content from Tidal (pic 2) it streams in full FLAC quality (pic 3). When streaming from my library in the Plex app (not PlexAmp), it also streams in FLAC quality (pic 4). Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
I am having a similar issue, except Tidal music added to ‘my library’ plays in AAC regardless of whether it is played from Plex Media Player or Plexamp.
Is there a way to get Tidal content added to ‘my library’ to play in Flac?
Having same problem. Anyone from PLEX ever read these posts
?
Having the same issue and no solution in sight, full details here https://www.reddit.com/r/plexamp/comments/rxzrqn/tidal_flac_albums_become_aac_320_when_added_to/
I’d like to hop back in and say I was worried maybe the issue was caused by my free trial of Tidal that I was using at the time. Currently paying for Tidal Student and PlexPass and am particularly disappointed that I’m not getting what I’m paying for.
Some Tidal albums in my library show as FLAC. Others do not. All albums that are available on Tidal in FLAC format stream in FLAC on my desktop. All three of these Bowie albums display as different formats, including FLAC - and yet all stream as AAC 320 on PlexAmp.
I’ve gone through all the setting and turned streaming quality etc up to maximum. Can confirm that when switching to the “Music on Tidal” library instead of my media server they stream in FLAC - it ONLY occurs when using my media server as the library, on PlexAmp, which is unfortunately the main way I listen to music nowadays.
This has been, to my knowledge, FIXED in PlexAmp 4.0. Tracks now show “FLAC” when streaming. Albums still don’t show the correct “badge” in list view, but I personally tend to stick to grid view anyway. Thank you!
I get 320 AAC when using radios, like discovery radio. If I pick a tidal album directly and play it then it comes over as FLAC. This is in Plexamp 4.0.
Just tried it myself. Can confirm “Discovery Radio” is still playing AAC 320.
