Not uploading artwork

[memehammad]

Hey, it seems that the artwork functionality is broken? I am 100% sure that I set up everything correctly since the tidal asset has been successfully uploaded and it's getting used whenever I play something, but none of the album artworks ever get uploaded.

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean by "they haven been successfully uploaded and it's getting used whenever I play something but none of the album artworks ever get uploaded". Do you see something like DiscordAPI: Upload of asset <name> was successful when running NowPlaing-for-TIDAL from the command line but it doesn't appear on the Discord application page under Rich Presence -> Art Assets?

What I meant is that the default "tidal" icon gets uploaded (so I guess my config file is configured correctly), but whenever I play music it shows that one instead of the album artwork and it doesn't seem to upload anything besides that.

How would I go about running the program from the command line so I can see what the logs are saying?

I just checked and I didn't actually implement that the logs are written to the command-line. The only way to see them is by heading into Visual Studio and building and running the application from source.

I quickly did this and I am seeing the following line: NowPlaying-for-TIDAL Error: 0 : TidalApi: Could not get the key from TIDAL desktop for the following Reason: Could not find: '[info] - Session was changed' Basically, the issue lies in SimpleTidalApi. I need it to query the TIDAL API about further information about the song, for example, a URL to its album artwork. For the TIDAL API I need a token, which I parse from TIDAL's logs. This is the part that is currently broken because TIDAL changed their logging output.

I had a quick look, however, I currently have no time to fix this but you can give it a shot if you'd like. I recommend completely throwing out my weird string slicing operations (for some reason you write weird code when you are younger :p) and use a regular expression instead to find the token in TIDAL's log file. You can also find a test there to quickly check whether you can query TIDAL's API using this token.

I will probably fix this at some point in the future but for now I have to work on other stuff. I am also now working under Linux where I can't use this project, hence the low priority. If you decide to fix it yourself, you can create a pull request afterwards. Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

I don't think it's logging the token every time you restart the app, this line is the only thing I could find relating to the login and it only appeared after I logged in and out again. Not sure if this is the one you're looking for.

I am actually not sure, would need to try it out. Here is the test I mentioned earlier: https://github.com/Kaufi-Jonas/SimpleTidalApi/blob/master/SimpleTidalApi/SimpleTidalApiTests/ClientTests.cs

You can try hardcoding the key in that file with what you found and check whether you get a result back.
