TidalRPC

Note

Versioning is major.minor.revision.build

It is not compatible with the "SteelSeries Engine" software.

TidalRPC is a program that uses Tidal's SteelSeries integration to display Discord Rich Presence (RPC), further explanation can be found further down.

The way it works is, it runs a web server on port 3650 (by default) which Tidal sends all track information to.

If you want to change the port, you need to edit %programdata%\SteelSeries\SteelSeries Engine 3\coreProps.json.

On first use, please right-click the tray icon and select your country (it should be a 2-character code)

Technical details

As mentioned earlier, the way this works is by using the integration Tidal's desktop app has with SteelSeries's Engine software. I'll refer to it as "Engine" from now on.

Engine launches a webserver on the IP:PORT specified in %programdata%\SteelSeries\SteelSeries Engine 3\coreProps.json.

Tidal finds this webserver thanks to the aforementioned file and POSTs the playback information to /game_event as JSON, this consists of:

• Song Title
• Artist
• Album
• Url (to the song)
• Image Url (to album cover)
• Duration (how much of the song has been played)
• Time (when the song started playing)
• State (indicates playback status, e.g. paused)
