Hi all, I have just powered up my A&K SR15 and connected it to Wi-Fi for the first time in ages (due to lockdown -not been out so no need to use it!). It has the pre-loaded Tidal app to which I subscribe, however, it wont let me log in. It keeps saying "Authentication failed Unknown error" although I have checked my login details thoroughly. Funnily enough, I have the Tidal APK side loaded for downloads (which I need to update as I see there is a newer version) and this lets me stream and play my downloads OK from Tidal. Any ideas? All other Tidal instances (this laptop, Bluesound Node2i, Android phone etc) are logged on and working fine, just my A&K SR15. Help appreciated.

Is there any possibility the Tidal app installed is region dependent? I don't know if this is a possibility, just a thought.
Not sure if it has this setting. I have reset the whole thing to factory settings and it still does not accept my Tidal User name and password. It states its the latest version of both A&k firmware (v1.5) and the Pre loaded tidal app (1.08). I have not done anything different from when I first set it up last year. Bizarre. Can't seem to find A&k support contact details either. Thx for the reply.

very odd. Can the pre installed app not be deleted and a new one downloaded?

Many thanks all for replying. I have just logged onto the A&K website/support pages, and have seen this notice as of today -

"We have identified the issues users are having with the embedded Tidal app.
Tidal has changed the authentication method used when logging into third-party Tidal apps.
We're working as quickly as possible to make the required changes in the embedded app."

So I have reset my SR15 to factory settings, lost all my dloads, and the side loaded apps!! Oh well, a clean start when this gets fixed.

Cheers
