I keep getting this error pop up, not sure how to fix it. I've tried a few things
Remove SD card, uninstall Deezer, clean phone cache, restart phone, reinstall deezer. Same error pops up straight away again. I only started noticing this error recently.

I have an Lg g6

    I think I have found how to fix this. Currently still working it out but iyou need to expand your smart cache if your deezer data is the same as your limit it can't cache any songs which causes it to start and stop error..... working so far only just changed my settings.

     

    If you need any trouble shooters Deezer I would like a job 😄😜👊

    Same issue. Xiaomi phone. And this is why I'm moving to Spotify.

    Hi@Michela Topao sorry for my reply in English. Can you please try the steps in the link above?

    Just started getting this error with the latest version.  Error: Failed to play.  The requested content is not loading.

     

    I’ve followed all the steps to try to resolve the error but it happens on every song play.  Very annoying, I’ll wait to see if a new app version comes in the next short while to resolve it, otherwise will go to stick to Tidal.  Or new Amazon HD?

    Hey@Michael.Schmidt sorry about that :/ Can you please tell me on what device/model/OS version this happens?

    Google Pixel 3XL with Android 10.  But after I posted this, I enabled “join beta” and a new version of Deezer was installed (has beta on the icon) and the problem has gone away.  So I’ll stick with the beta and see how that goes and if the error returns, will repost.

     

    Thanks

    I tried that many times on the production version with no success.  Btw, the Pixel doesn’t have an SD slot??

    Hey @Michael.Schmidt 

    Doesn't it have it? Sorry about that. I'm not too familiar with the specs of the device.

    But I've got an idea. I've seen another user reporting no more issues after installing our Beta Android app. Why don't you give it a go? You just need to register for the program first. More info can be found here :thumbsup_tone2:

    Hi 

    I had the same issue on my Galaxy S10 and it was solved when entered settings->device care -> storage -> clean now

    This basically cleans phone cache…

    This alone fixed my issue.

    No need to uninstall app and lose your offline downloaded music...

    FYI this is incorrectly marked as answered.

    I'm switching back to Spotify for this reason.
