Any thoughts about keeping Tidal and Deezer going without mysqueezebox?

Did anyone get warning that this was coming?

See https://forums.slimdevices.com/node/1668327 and related threads. This actually is the warning...

Unless there is something that I have misunderstood there must be a lot of reusable code in the 'Home Assistant' Music Assistant project which has deezer up and running with a proper Oauth login. Disucssions https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/discussions/1245 and music-assistant/server#625

I will, over time, have a look at this but I have little coding experience in Python and even less in making LMS plugins.

Anyone else that is willing to pick this up and I will help if I can. Would be interested to know what @arctixdev and @micha91 who developed the suff for Musica Assistant think about it.

One is Python and using 3rd party libraries, the other is Perl and have to be re-written from scratch. So other than "knowing what to do" (which is very important of course) but there is no reuse of code at all.

Thanks @philippe44 , confirming my lack of knowledge of LMS plugins! : )

One more naïve question - if you can indulge me - is the current implementation of Deezer largely embedded in the LMS code / plugin (rather than at the mysqueezebox end) to the extent that implementing the Oauth login parts and some fiddling would suffice, or is it a matter of more or less coding a complete Deezer plugin from the ground up?

I suspect this is the same as the Tidal plugin (I would have to check) where it's basically a re-coding with limited reuse
