tidal-connect-docker VS node-oidc-provider

Tidal connect: meh. I have several issues with getting it to work. It simply isn't as good as Spotify Connect. Not sure why you can't control any playing devices from any device, maybe to sell more streamers, or have companies pay for the licensing? Last.fm scrobbling isn't integrated on the backend. There are workarounds and you can install local scrobblers for your android app and scrobbling works when controlling a stream via android, but it doesn't work from the desktop (i.e.: you need an instance of tidal running so a scrobbler can pick up the metadata). There are issues with scrobbling from time to time too, but this happens regardless of platform. There isn't an API that will allow all sorts of third party implementations and tools (i.e.: like a last.fm scrobbler that will scrobble regardless of playback source), or an open source client like Raspotify, that will allow a headless rasberrypi act as client. This isn't strictly true, there is a package for hifiberry, but in my experience it isn't really that stable (https://github.com/TonyTromp/tidal-connect-docker) and once again you run into issue that your tracks are not reliably sent to last.fm You can't drag playlists. This isn't a huge deal, but it is kind of annoying. I've had to resort to numbering them. It would also be really nice if you could add playlist images. It gives them a nice personalised touch, especially when your playlists contains albums. Visually, it is also hard to locate different albums when scrolling a playlist. This could be solved by displaying a tiny thumbnail of the track.

Heads up here - I use an HiFi Berry DSP DAC+, with HiFIBerry OS on a RPi4. It has an open source implementation of Tidal Connect (https://github.com/TonyTromp/tidal-connect-docker) and I'm very pleased with, both for audio quality and ease of use. However, a recent update of Tidal App on Android devices messed up the permissions for Tidal Connect. Similar issues were reported by Volumio users.

There's also a free hack if you don't mind a bit of faffing: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=297771 https://github.com/TonyTromp/tidal-connect-docker

I don't have a direct answer for your questions but do suggest the canonical OAuth 2.0 implementation may be helpful for your learning too. LMK your thoughts. ➔ https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

I could recommend https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider supports most of the oidc/oauth 2 rabbit hole specs.

This library forms the basis of a number of OIDC providers we, err, provide to our users.

You can also easily setup an OIDC server in Node using a certified OIDC lib like oidc-provider.

If it's nodejs auth servers you're after, look no further than here. Use it as-is, or as a library to build your own richer app.

You can take a look on node-oidc-provider

I am a little confused on how to implement an Auth server in node.js. There are plenty of libs that seem to do just that (ex: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider) and then there's passport, which seems to be a full-fledged authentication framework? Will it serve my purpose or would it be overkill and I should just stick with simple libs like the one I mentionned. I can't seem to understand the difference between the two. Can someone explain?

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | NodeJS Dev with OpenID Connect experience

Looking for a NodeJS developer with OpenID / OAuth 2.0 experience to help with upgrading an OpenID Connect implementation. Specifically, the OpenID service depends on v6 of this library: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

We would like a review of our current implementation, and help with finishing a mostly-completed upgrade to v7 before we onboard 3rd-parties to our authentication and authorization infrastructure. We estimate the contract length to be between 1 - 2 months, part-time. To apply, send your CV and hourly rate to [email protected]. Please be sure to highlight your experience with the relevant technologies and protocols.

Have you looked for other OIDC/OAuth2 packages. Here's one in Node. That seems very interesting. https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

I'm passing familiar with this area, but not as familiar as I should be...

How does this compare to something like this - https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider

Are they addressing the same need? Is Ory looking to get certified in these area? (Is it already?)
