This didn’t work as I wasn’t signed into tidal already

Not using any vpn, ad blockers, I’ve cleared browser cookies and tried again this didn’t work

Prevented cross site tracking in safari…. This didn’t work

tried managing website data in safari… This didn’t work

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling… didn’t work

Updated to latest version…. Didn’t work

Tried Library/Caches/ for anything algoriddim and djay and deleted them … didn’t work

Spotify and Apple Music work

Created a test account on my mate and tried login with that just incase it was my account.

Also another user on Reddit reporting this

Hi @Delmenice, sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. Thanks for listing everything you’ve already tried. That helps a lot.

Your second TIDAL account fails the same way, and Spotify and Apple Music connect fine. That points away from your account and your djay install, and toward the TIDAL sign-in page itself not loading properly on macOS 10.15.

Can you try one quick test on that same MacBook? Open Safari, go to tidal.com and log in there. Does the Continue button stay greyed out in Safari as well?

Please also reply with:

  • The exact djay version number (the current Mac release is 5.6.10)
  • A screenshot of the TIDAL login window with the greyed-out button
  • Confirm that you have an active TIDAL subscription with the DJ Extension (aka Tidal DJ)
  • https://tidal.com/djs
  • https://tidal.com/pricing

In the meantime, your PRO subscription also works in djay on iPhone or iPad. If you have one, you can sign in to TIDAL there and keep mixing while we work this out. I hope that helps!

Hi, @Slak_Jaw

Current version 5.6.10 updated today

Active dj subscription in tidal

Can login from phone etc

Can also login on tidal website etc

Apple and google options also greyed out and have the circle with line through it

Hope this helps anything else you need just ask

Thanks for the additional info @Delmenice. Please close djay, then try changing your default browser to Chrome or Firefox, then reboot your Mac and try the login process again.

@Slak_Jaw sadly no change while trying both browsers both being the most upto date versions also for my OS

Hmmm… okay. Sorry that didn’t work. I can’t think of anything else to suggest that you haven’t already tried. I’ll have to pass this onto our engineering team to see if they can reproduce it internally and offer any suggestions. I’ll report back when I have news. Thanks!

@Slak_Jaw thank you for your assistance so far it bizarre as it worked fine Friday 16th and then Saturday 17th nothing

i look forward to hearing any further updates

You’re welcome @Delmenice

Same problem for me. Been happening for a few days. I can log into Tidal on my phone and my same laptop. The only place it doesn’t work is Djay. I can log into spotify but Tidal doesn’t work. I also logged into Djay Pro on my Android phone, it shows my Tidal library and loads songs.

Hi @dancewithml, welcome to the Community! Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. What version number of macOS and djay are you running?

10.15.08

Thanks @dancewithml

It’s been a week and the problems are getting worse. Im up to 5 events that I haven’t been able to fully use the software I’m paying for.

Any chance this will get fixed?

Hi @dancewithml, our team is aware of this and they’re in contact with TIDAL. I’ll share more news when I have it.

@dancewithml in the interim transfer your playlists to Apple Music had no issues with that myself playing and streaming etc

my only gripe is the match feature with Apple Music is throwing up some really bad matches lol

Was playing UK garage the other night and it was throwing up savage garden…. Very much not uk garage :joy:

Thanks for sharing @Delmenice

It’s been 3 weeks.

Any hope that this will get resolved or should we just get used to not using Tidal?

@dancewithml there is a work around however I’m waiting to see if there’s fix first before implementing it.
