Image based on https://github.com/shawaj/ifi-tidal-release and https://github.com/seniorgod/ifi-tidal-release. Please visit https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=297771 for full information on the backround of this project.
I have been happily using HifiberryOS but being an extremely slim OS (based on Buildroot) has its pitfalls, that there is no easy way of extending its current features. Thankfully the Hifiberry Team have blessed us by providing Docker and Docker-Compose within OS. As I didn't want to add yet another system for Tidal integration (e.g. Bluesound, Volumio), i stumbled upon this https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360013667717-Tidal-Connect-, and i decided to do something about it.
This port does much more than just providing the docker image with TIDAL Connect and volume control, as for HifiBerry users it will also install additional sources meny as displayed above. Volume controls are reflected in the UI.
- Remote volume control (via IOS/Android) is not working on Hifiberry DAC2 Pro. This DAC seems to use hardware mixer for audio and this doesnt seem to be compatible with the speaker_controller app. This issue is under investigation (TonyTromp#6)
- SSH into your Raspberry and clone/copy this repository onto your system.
# On HifiberryOS
cd /data && \
git clone https://github.com/TonyTromp/tidal-connect-docker.git && \
cd tidal-connect-docker
- Install and run
# On HifiBerryOS
./install_hifiberry.sh
Other PiOS (e.g. Raspbian), you can find the docker-compose scripts in the Docker folder.
ENJOY ! ;)
This will download the Docker image from github and install and start TIDAL Connect as a service. In addition it will also add a new UI Source to HifiBerry called TIDAL Connect which you can use to start/stop the service
./install_hifiberry.sh installs TIDAL Connect on your Raspberry Pi.

This is an example where we specified to install.sh that it should build the image and overrode the default image name.

- Start/Stopping
You can either start or stop the TIDAL Service via the HifiBerryOS Sources menu or via command-line. If you would rather use command line, you might find these scripts handy.
./start-tidal-service.sh
./stop-tidal-service.sh
You may also use the systemd scripts:
systemctl stop tidal.service
systemctl start tidal.service
- Troubleshooting
-
NO VOLUME * Please check your volume setting on your device and use your device to increase the volume. If setup/dac is recognized it you will see volume changes also updating in the HifiBerry Audio Controls.
-
DAC NOT RECOGNIZED / NOT PLAYING * There are known issues whereas playback is not working, as the DAC is not recognized. You can check the logs from the Docker image by running:
docker logs docker_tidal-connect_1
This will list some debug information useful for trouble shooting. You can explicitly set the DAC playback device in the Docker/entrypoint.sh file.
For 'HifiBerry Digi+ Pro', if it doesn't work out-of-the-box, you will need to edit the Docker/entrypoint.sh and use "snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi: HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro HiFi wm8804-spdif-0 (hw:0,0)" as default playback device (like below).
/app/ifi-tidal-release/bin/tidal_connect_application \
--tc-certificate-path "/app/ifi-tidal-release/id_certificate/IfiAudio_ZenStream.dat" \
-f "HiFiBerry" \
--playback-device "snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi: HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro HiFi wm8804-spdif-0 (hw:0,0)" \
--codec-mpegh true \
--codec-mqa false \
--model-name "HiFiBerry" \
--disable-app-security false \
--disable-web-security false \
--enable-mqa-passthrough false \
--log-level 3 \
--enable-websocket-log "0" \
Note you can list/print your device/DAC name by running the following command
docker run --device /dev/snd \
-v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus \
-v /var/run/avahi-daemon/socket:/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket \
--entrypoint "" \
edgecrush3r/tidal-connect /app/ifi-tidal-release/bin/ifi-pa-devs-get 2>/dev/null | grep device#
Edit the entryfile.sh and set the playback-device accordingly should solve your issue.
Build the docker image (OPTIONAL!):
NOTE: I have already uploaded a pre-built docker image to Docker Hub for you. This means you can skip this time consuming step to build the image manually, and use the pre-built image unless you need to add something to the base image. However for those who like to thinker, you can add other things to the docker image if you would like to.
# Go to the <tidal-connect-docker>/Docker path
cd tidal-connect-docker-master/Docker
# Build the image
./build_docker.sh
- Fiddle with Audio Controls and Song Info scraping *
Check out the 'cmd' folder for a bunch of cool bash scripts to control your music (hence you can use to control via Alexa/Google etc). To scrape song info you can try
python scraper.py
This will give you all song info in JSON format.
If you need to alter any parameters, just change the entrypoint.sh to contain whatever settings you need The entrypoint.sh file/command is executed upon start of the container and mounted via docker-compose.
