I am also having problems with playing all content using the Tidal app on my LG C16LA OLED. 

Yesterday, I sent the E-mail below to Tidal asking what the problem is and when it will be resolved.

"<<<  TIDAL APP FOR LG C1 TELEVISIONS IS BROKEN AND HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE IT WAS RELEASED >>>

Dear Tidal,

As a Tidal HiFi customer I would like to complain about the broken and unusable Tidal app brought out earlier this year for my 55" LG C16LA OLED television.  Please note that this problem seems to be specific to the LG C1 OLED model released in 2021.

Every track selected and played on the Tidal app for my 55" LG C16LA OLED television, and it makes no difference as to which track I select to play, stops playing at exactly 30 seconds before the end of the track.  The sound cuts out and the track cannot be restarted without closing the app and restarting it.  Even after restarting the app, every track selected to play stops playing again at precisely 30 seconds before the end of the track.  This is unacceptable and makes the Tidal app on my 55" LG C16LA OLED television unusable.  The fact that I am paying €19.99 a month for this unusable and broken app is an absolute insult.

A quick look on the internet shows that I am not the only LG C1 television owner experiencing this problem with the shabbily supported and completely broken Tidal app for LG C1 televisions.

Why are all tracks stopping 30 seconds before the end of the track?   I informed Tidal about this problem in June 2021 and, as yet, nothing has been done by Tidal to resolve the issue.

There is no point in asking me to send Tidal a list of tracks that it happens on.  It happens on every single track selected, every time.  Completely uninstalling the app then reinstalling the app has no effect on this behaviour, neither does resetting my entire home network, setting up a static IP for the TV or changing DNS servers.  My television is connected to a stable 300Mbps cable internet connection via a Cat6a ethernet cable and no proxy servers are being used.  The problem also occurs when using either 2.4 or 5Ghz Wi-Fi connections to connect the TV to the internet.

The Tidal app on my 55" LG C1 OLED is the only app that does not function properly.  All other streaming apps work optimally and without a hitch.  This ongoing problem and the non -existent fix from Tidal is certainly no advert for the company. 

When will this now ridiculous situation be resolved by Tidal's 'technical experts'?

Regards,"

This is also happening to me on my LG C1 OLED TV. This app is too expensive to have literally every single track stop/pause before finishing.

It's highly frustrating isn't it.  I haven't had a reply from Tidal yet.  When I do I'll post it here.  The current Tidal app on the LG C1 is broken and has never worked properly on my C1.

Looks kinda similar to the answer posted several posts above (Sep 20, 2021), isn't it?

That LG still allows customers to download this already known to be broken Tidal app from the LG App Store is a complete insult.  Tidal should have it's broken and deliberately unfixed, sub-par app immediately removed from the LG App Store.  It's obvious that Tidal either has no interest in fixing it or the company is utterly incompetent at developing properly working apps for LG TV's.  The problems surrounding this app were reported more tha 6 months ago!

Get it fixed or get rid of it.

Guys, it looks that our requests have been heard! My LG65C11 updated Tidal to the latest version - in particular to TODAY'S build: 2022-02-09-30-3042....5502e and after my very initial tests it looks that these issues with cutting songs are finally resolved!

This issue does indeed seem to have been resolved with the update which was released on 9 February 2022.  That said, it should never have taken this amount of time for Tidal to get it's act together and resolve the problem.  The amount of time it's taken Tidal to get an issue it's been aware of for longer than 6 months resolved certainly deserves no praise from it's paying customers.

Hi, I totally agree with you. I had been in talks with them from the day I posted this here. Their support team would constantly ask me for details and I would provide. Until yesterday when they came back with the fix. Unfortunate that it took so long.

Maybe you can try to use Tidal on LG TV offline. To do that, you will need a DRmare Tidal Media Downloader (

 ) to download music from Tidal as local files. Then you can move Tidal music to LG TV for play offline. And you can transfer Tidal songs to other devices for use offline.

I just bought a brand new 55” C2 and the Tidal app is not working. Songs buffer for a few seconds then stop and never play. Eventually the TV goes into screen saved mode. I don’t see any updates available for the app or the tv os. Any tips or suggestions as to how to get it working?

      Since few days, DLNA only working for music, images and video is black screen
      By Kuriko
      Hey, I have 3 NAS (DLNA) successfully connected to my OLED65C97LA since months and from one day to another all three have the same issue. So I must be a bug in LG TV? But I do not know what to do?
      - I can click on all 3 DLNA and its open a choice box for "music" or "image and video".
      - Click on all 3 DLNA for "music" and I get access to this DLNA and see my music files and can play it.
      - Click on all 3 DLNA für "image and video" and I get now only a black screen. I can move the cursor and open menus, but DLNA is black.
      Am I the only one with this problem?

      Playing a Radio Channel using Alexa
      By Citron2010
      Hi,  I have an LG 43UN71006LB with OS v4.50.53 (latest)

      I want to buy a TV for my mother who has dementia & poor eyesight.

      She needs to be able to control the TV with Alexa - i.e. voice only without having to hold a button on a remote down.
      I thought I'd test this on my TV and it works very well.  I've even set "routines" on Alexa so that saying "Alexa, BBC 1" is a shortcut for "Alex, change the channel on LGTV to 101" etc.

      But - it doesn't work for radio channels (channel 704 is BBC Radio 4):
      "Alexa, change channel on LGTV to 101" - works perfectly (101 = BBC 1 - a TV channel)
      "Alexa, change channel on LGTV to 705" - "that command doesn't work on device LGTV"

      It basically won't work with any of the radio channels (700 to 790)
      Also tried:
      "Alexa, change channel on LGTV to BBC RADIO 4" - "hmm - I don't know that"
      "Alexa, play BBC Radio 4 on LGTV" - "I didn't find anything called LGTV that can play music"

      I thought I'd try to change 704 to another channel outside of the 700 to 790 range but when I tried:
      "The programme number cannot be edited between programme 700 to 790"

      I tried playing the Radio on the Alexa then using Sound Share to turn the TV into a Bluetooth speaker - this works really well - except that I can't turn Sound Share on using Alexa:

      "Alexa, enable Sound Share on LGTV"  - "that command doesn't work on device LGTV"

      Anyone have any ideas?

      Music player
      By Tom Zarrilli
      On the music player all my mp3 files show up with a non functioning file as well as a playable one. The issue is that I have to spend time toggling thru these other tiles. The files do not appear on my Mac but only on th LG music player app.
