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.

I have received the reply below from Tidal.  How long it will take them to release any fix is anyones guess.

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

Best regards,

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 (

You can try update the Tidal app on your TV and then restart your TV. If this don't work, you can try using AudFree Tidal Music Downloader

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?

      Audio is no longer just something you listen to – it’s something you feel, interact with and experience in transformative ways. To push these boundaries further, LG and multi-platinum musician and tech entrepreneur will.i.am have joined forces to introduce LG xboom by will.i.am, a new audio product lineup enhanced with AI technologies, well-balanced sound, versatile designs and exceptional lighting and interaction features.

      At CES 2025, LG and will.i.am shared a deeper insight into their joint vision for the LG xboom by will.i.am, revealing the very first products to feature in this highly-anticipated series. With will.i.am as its “Experiential Architect,” LG aims to establish xboom as a culture-driven brand redefining listening experiences in the most diverse and inventive ways.
      LG and will.i.am’s close collaboration saw him actively define the sound performance, visual design and branding of the rejuvenated LG xboom brand. His influence stems not only from his musical prowess but also from his aesthetic sensibilities and storytelling ability that resonate with global audiences. The collaboration aims to enhance every aspect of the customer journey – from the first touch to the joy of experiencing music and content – inspiring a lasting love for the xboom brand.

      During the LG World Premiere press conference at CES 2025, will.i.am took the stage to outline the endless potential of the LG xboom by will.i.am collaboration, showcasing how the latest audio products bring cutting-edge tech and creative visions together. “Our goal with the new xboom series was never about duplicating what already existed,” he said. “It’s about reimagining what a speaker is supposed to be… it’s about finding your inspiration.”
      Every audio solution in the LG xboom by will.i.am lineup has been professionally tuned by the multiple Grammy Award-winning artist to establish xboom’s signature sound – an expertly balanced audio profile with warmer tones. The playfully compact designs embody will.i.am’s creative artistry, drawn from his life-long experience in pop culture. Leveraging his understanding of what people love as well as his expertise in developing technologies for creatives, will.i.am played a pivotal role in developing the LG xboom brand.

      The LG xboom by will.i.am series introduces the Bounce, Grab and Stage 301, all powered by AI to elevate the listening experience. These advanced speakers analyze music in real time, dynamically adjusting sound to highlight key elements like melody, rhythm and vocals. AI Lighting creates a vibrant atmosphere by syncing speaker lights to the beat of the music, while AI Calibration lets the speakers adapt to their surroundings instantaneously for rich sounds in various spaces. For the first time, LG’s xboom speakers feature a dedicated button for seamless connection to RAiDiO.FYI, a radio platform created by will.i.am offering personalized content curated by an AI Radio Host.

      The Bounce’s up-bouncing passive radiators pulse with the beat, adding a dynamic visual element to the audio experience. Its adjustable strap ensures versatility, allowing it to be effortlessly held, hung or placed on any surface, harmonizing with any environment or occasion.

      Engineered to be the ultimate portable speaker, the Grab combines powerful sound with a compact, travel-friendly design. Its slim, one-handed design makes it ideal for on-the-go use, while dual passive radiators on each side deliver rich bass and lively sound, filling spaces effortlessly despite its small size.

      The xboom Stage 301 transforms any space into a stage with its 6.5-inch woofer and dual 2.5-inch midrange drivers. Perfect for large rooms or parties, this speaker features a built-in handle for easy carrying and a clever wedge design for flexible placement – whether flat on its base, tilted back or mounted on a tripod.

      The lineup also includes LG’s latest earbuds, the xboom Buds. These advanced earbuds not only produce well-balanced sound and rich bass, but also feature an effective Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and lightweight grapheme drivers. Designed for both comfort and stability, these new LG earbuds feature ergonomic ear tips that adapt to different ear shapes, while a unique ear hook design provides a secure fit for active lifestyles.

      CES 2025 served as the debut stage for the 2025 LG xboom by will.i.am lineup. Starting with the LG press conference on January 6, LG xboom and will.i.am maintained a strong presence throughout the event. From hosting special events like the RAiDiOboom party at LIV Nightclub in Las Vegas to engaging attendees at the xboom booth, every moment celebrated this dynamic partnership.
      LG and will.i.am are committed to continuing their dynamic collaboration with the xboom by will.i.am range, striving to elevate every aspect of the listening experience. Stay tuned to

      The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App. 
      I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
      **I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
      It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
      Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.

      I have owned a couple of LG TV’s over the last 8 years, with the current one being a high-end 77” model.
      I am still using LG TV SmartShare (v.33) as my “Media Player” v2.3.1511.1201 for my PC– which was last updated in 2015 but it is still compatible today.  As proof, my latest TV is now 11 months old and I have had zero issue (until you see below).    
      link hidden, please login to view My PC setup is: Windows 10 Pro (with all latest updates) and a TP-Link Archer BE19000 (BE805) router.    NOTHING has been changed on my router, TV (no updated or changed firmware) or any equipment moved around in the last 4 months.
      Up until about 3 weeks ago, everything ran just fine.  The SmartShare program was always defaulted to have Sharing ON, upon start of it, which is always when Windows boots).  However, about 3 weeks ago, the SmartShare PC program has started to randomly change its status to Sharing OFF.  I would then have to go into the program, manually change it to ON and then it works anywhere for 30 minutes up to 20 hours, and again, randomly change the Sharing to OFF.
      I am an experienced PC user, and I am very sure that this has nothing to do with my WIFI because it’s not a dropped connection or random TV not being found.   Something is happening inside Windows 10 that is triggering this status change.  And it never fluctuates back to Sharing ON by itself.
      Being so frustrated, I actually updated the Router to the latest firmware a few days ago, but this problem continues as before.
      As an experiment, I installed an alternate Media Server program called Serviio.  One can also see that when my Sharing changes to OFF, the two green lights turn red.
      Anyone have an idea of what can be happening after nearly 8 years of not experiencing this?       I am guessing that Windows is triggering some “Service” to stop running, but what can it be?

      Hi everyone,
       
      Since the last OS SW update for webOS 23.2050 for my OLED LG TV 65C3 I have noticed a weird problem where the TV randomly shuts down by itself while watching TV, Netflix, YouTube … I couldn’t find a pattern when and how this happens it seems to behave like this randomly. I
      t’s like.a SW crash behaviour memory leak or something (just an assumption).
      I mention this is not the energy saving auto power off feature.
      Have you guys encountered such issue?
