Crappy support for Chromecast

I'm using Android phone and Chromecast Audio to stream music to my home stereo. Chromecast support in Deezer is crappy and unreliable.

Often the connection is a hit-and-miss, sometimes works and sometimes not, and often requires several tries to get the connection going. No error or anything, just spinning the progress circle with "Only a few seconds left". 

Also happens if I try to cast from Deezer web player to Chromecast. Lately I haven't been able to connect that at all. 

Needless to say it all works with Spotify and SoundCloud without any issues. 

And the Deezer desktop app would not open at all on M1 Macbook... 

I wish Deezer would work, but this is really annoying. If anyone from support reads this, I can send more details if that would help to solve these issues.

With my new android phone, I still have hick-ups and crashes with chromecast on my Argon Audio Solo. I contacted Argon Audio, but they have no other solution than to use Qobuz or Tidal.

Therefor I've ended my Deezer subscription and will give it a go with Tidal.

Too bad Deezer doesn't solve these chromecast issues.....

My Argon Audio Solo works just fine with chromecast and Tidal: no more hick-ups and crashes, so I'm a happy chromecast streamer again...🤫

Chromecast is STILL not working from Deezer. It worked fine from amazon, and it worked fine on Deezer for the first month - now the loading wheel just spins, promising it's loading, and it never does.

I wonder I can get a refund on my annual Deezer subscription and move to Spotify. Or, Deezer, please fix this.
