Tidal Adds Dolby Atmos Music

[beerking]

I believe the Apple TV 4K is reasonably priced (I mean come on it’s an Apple product- usually means good quality and support) and this is all just getting started. Very well might be thousands of Atmos mixed songs in the pipeline- time will tell.
But I have to admit; when I first saw posts about an Apple TV 4K, I thought Apple had actually released a physical TV (OLED or something)

About £150 quid here for the 32gb version pups..
Means my beer supply will take a hit for June!!

And no chance of recieving the service on days like we have here, in the UK today...24 degrees and not a cloud service to be seen!!

 

[beerking]

Also not sure my array of extension leads can take another drain on them.
One day I might check out what I'm actually passing through them....

No kidding. Since the Firestick 4K (priced at a reasonable $40) is supposed to be supported, I hope someone can confirm it works before I run out to get an AppleTV 4K

Which week in June?
............... and I'm still waiting for the pubs to open again, only been 86 days without a beer/booze, not that I'm counting (my last booze was on the plane back from the USA on 5th March! and I'm still a weeble )

I'm shocked that Roku isn't on the list. I'm a Roku fanboy.

Apple also has better Atmos capability for movie apps than other streaming devices.

Yeah, I have one also, been wondering if a software update would work (in the future or need a whole new device-but most of the stuff I watch I can get right off my Samsung TV.)
Wait, I thought you didn't watch any TV

Could some

The updated TIDAL app is also available on Dolby Atmos enabled Android TVs from Sony and Philips.

I have a Dolby atmos Enabled Android TV Philips connected to my MARANTZ SR6013, but I don’t get Dolby atmos sound from Tilda App.

Right
Got my younger. surround loving bro on the case. as he is an Apple fan boy and has the 4K box already set up.
Although it might not be today, as he has just consumed a few draught Leffe's!!

Hmmm - so I went ahead and got the 60 day trial. I figured since my laptop is connected directly to my Atmos AVR, and when I go to settings in my laptop, I can select ATmos as my speaker setup........

But, it only plays Dolby Surround. Whatever that means. Oddly, there is content coming from my fronts, my front atmos speakers, center, rear atmos, but nothing from my main rear speakers. WTF does that mean?

I’m guessing Dolby Surround is just upmixing a stereo source to faux surround like the old school DPLII.

So, I thought maybe I could use my Oppo 103 to stream Tidal. Sure enough, it has the app. Per instructions on Tidal, I downloaded the Oppo Media Control app on my iphone. It then asks for Tidal login info.......I type it in...and it tells me Invalid Token. Try again, and again...same error. Jesus, what a complete cluster fuck.

 

[perzon57]

Same here,tried to login on my Oppo 105, it goes and goes and no login.Don't they want people to hear this?
I will not buy a stinking Apple product to get this.

I don't think Tidal PC app supports Atmos yet. From Tidal site:

You can stream music in Dolby on your Dolby Atmos compatible soundbars, TVs, and AVRs, in addition to your Dolby Atmos compatible Android mobile devices.


Compatible TV-connected devices include:

• Apple TV 4K (running tvOS 13 or later)
• Fire TV (Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 2016, Fire TV Gen 3 2017, Fire TV Cube 1st Gen or 2nd Gen)
• Nvidia Shield TV and Shield TV Pro (2019 and newer models)

The updated TIDAL app is also available on Dolby Atmos enabled Android TVs from Sony and Philips.

But, as usual, their wording leaves a bit of confusion. They single out AVR's. Well, I have an Atmos AVR. They should say something like "AVR, as long as you have a compatible device like "Apple, Fire, etc" Why is it always so hard for "them" to spell things out in a manner that all the bases are covered?

Do you have eARC?

"Owners of Atmos-enabled Android TVs from Sony and Philips can also run the app natively on the set and output audio via HDMI eARC to an external soundbar or AVR."

 

[olgitnorm]

Weird can’t login to tidal on my oppo 105 now same error invalid token, still ok on my iPad and on Apple TV don know why it won’t accept password on oppo now it did before. Maybe they have updated the app but the oppo one hasn’t been updated

 

[Goona]

Still waiting for Firestick 4K anyone have Atmos?.

No. My Tv is ARC, not eARC. If I need eARC, why my Tv is atmos enabled?
