Asset is not ready for playback (with TIDAL)

Hey guys,

I noticed that recently I’ve been receiving the error Asset is not ready for playback when trying to play some music from TIDAL. It’s weird because after some time or when playing different tracks it just works.

I found this in the log:

Don’t really know how this is implemented but I’d guess that volumio is caching some track URLs that are changing or something like it.

Is anybody having similar issues? Any suggestion on how to avoid it?

I have the same issue it’s not so enjoying:) Do You have other issues apart of this one?

It’s related to the quality of the music you are streaming. Take a look at this: Tidal Asset is not ready for playback (401) (4005) for some tracks | Strawberry Music Player Forum
