ejn1 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Does anyone have solutions with the Room Control driver or otherwise where they have linked Tidal Playlists (or other Tidal elements) to keypad buttons for simple room control?

mstafford388 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 You can program keypads to start Tidal playlists right in the Tidal driver itself and chose which room or rooms you want it to play in. It's very simple. ejn1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very simple. Thanks again, was an easy addition. This must be a somewhat new feature in the programming variables as can't recall seeing it about a year or so ago when I tried to program.

OceanDad Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find it. Is it possible to select 5 specific Tidal playlists to use with the Preset Cycler in Room Control ? Doesn't appear to give an option to do this after selecting TIDAL as the preset. Does Room Control just use the first 5 playlists in the TIDAL account, or is it something else that I'm missing ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 Playlists programmed for one button. As I cycle the button it changes to the next playlist and the button led changes color as well...

OceanDad Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Is that being done in programming, or is it using the Preset Cycler ? I can't see any way to 'nominate' playlists for use by the Preset Cycler in the way that you would for Tune In stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDad Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 so each push of the button goes to the next playlist ? Could you share the programming for that button so that i can see how it's being done ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo1738 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Room Control Driver should do that in device setting you set what press 1 does, presa again does, etc. Even has room off any backwards cycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDad Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Room Control doesn’t allow you to ‘nominate’ a Tidal playlist on the preset cycler in the same way as you can for say a TuneIn station. Unless I’m missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to make this work also but couldn't figure it out with the Tidal Playlists. I could've been doing something wrong but just reverting to simple programming and has worked solid since.

South Africa C4 user Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I use the Room Control driver and program against the preset changing (simpler code than the above) and creates more flexibility. I have also added the Domosapiems Keypad Audio Enhancement Driver (I think I have the name right) which adds additional cool features to the Room Control Driver.

OceanDad Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Is there a way to search for user created playlists from within the TIDAL driver ? When I select playlists from the dropdown in programming, it only searches the TIDAL catalog - nothing user created appears. There doesn't appear to be any way to do this, but I might be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the C4 app, there are 2 sets of playlists. “playlists” and “playlists created by me”. I honestly cannot recall which is which. One of these will be playlists you created in Tidal. You then need to add these to your library in the C4 app. As soon as you have done that, the playlist will appear in both places and be available for programming against.
