Hello! Is it not possible to control Tidal via the the Tidal app?

Or am I forced to control it via the Blue OS interface?

When using Spotify it is possible to click on the Spotify app and control the sound comming out of my Powernode 2i (hooked up with Dali Oberon 1's).

But so far when using Tidal I can only seem to control tidal from the BlueOS app, not by opening the Tidal app (like I can with Spotify).

  Hello wBoop,
  
  At this time there is no way to control Tidal's playback to your BluOS players directly from Tidal's app. 

  Other users have come to us with similar feedback and our Quality Assurance team is aware of the demand for such a feature. Our Quality Assurance team will investigate this further to see if we can make this a possibility in a future update.

  Regards,
  Wesley P.

  Hi Wesley P 

  I also think this is an almost essential feature. I can see Playlists when I log into TIDAL but can see them via the Bluesound app. 

  Users pay a premium for using TIDAL and lose out when integration is limited. 

  Is there a workaround for this? 

   

  Many thanks

  Agree that the integration needs to be improved. Either support playback from TIDAL native app (preferred) or improve the experience within BlueOS app to more closely mimic that of the native app.

  Indeed it would be a great and very important feature. Tidal App features the same "Sound output" selection as Spotify with the difference that only bluetooth, chromecast devices etc. pop up. It would be very easy to replicate the Spotify feeling. Particularly as Tidal's app is becoming better and better, I am very close to shutting my Spotify premium (although I am a Swede). 

  That said, I don't appreciate Spotify's "dumb" interface in BluOS app either. The two interfaces should be just as usable.

  Alex, boys, and girls, you did this beautifully. First hands-on is way better than the Spotify integration. Tidal and Bluesound are brothers and sisters, keep it going.
