MQA through TIDAL in MinimServer

[simoncn]

MinimServer (not MinimStreamer) can play from a network URL if you put the URL in a .m3u playlist. In this case, the URL is passed to the renderer and it is up to the renderer whether or not it can handle it. This is currently working for qobuz: URLs and it could work for TIDAL if they decide to expose MQA streams as (for example) tidal: URLs that are playable by your renderer. This would be transparent to MinimServer as it is just passing the URL to the renderer for playing.

MinimStreamer adds additional features to this basic capability of MinimServer. For example, MinimStreamer knows how to handle HLS streams as used by BBC radio and this can be useful if your renderer doesn't support HLS natively. I don't have any plans to add TIDAL MQA support to MinimStreamer.
