I am trying to cast to my Chromecast on Nvidia Shield. It starts up and then stops with a message that someone else must be listening. There is no one else. Why doesn't casting work?

It's now 7 days since I can't fully use the service I subscribed to.

Hey everybody!

Yes, I have noticed in other threads too that Chromecast does not seem to work, especially on Harman Kardon. We have reported it to our technical team. 

I will keep you posted on the developments. 

Any news yet? @Yula

Chromecast streaming has stopped working for a more than a week now. Please fix this Deezer! Casting is the main reason to have (paid) subscription. Casting was never great, but usually acceptable. Now that it has stopped altogether I’m considering switching to another service.

I can’t cast to my NAD AMP1. Pleas respond, I don’t want to leave Deezer, but I see no advantages in it if I can not cast my music hifi.

I'm beginning to wonder if Deezer will ever work again via Chromecast. So I created an account on Tidal and copied my entire library through Soundiiz, and I now have a 30-day trial hifi version, and playing via Chromecast works just fine.

I think that I will transfer to Spotify. I tried with Spotify premium account and Chromecast work fine 

I was also seeing soundiiz. I have to understand how transfer all my family profiles

Yesterday evening, on iOS, Deezer didn't find a Chromecast audio in my local network.

I also have problems with Google assistant with Deezer. Assistant sometimes don't find devices or groups

 

This is the situation. Well done

Still nothing. Just installed an update, but that did not seem to focus on fixing the actual problem. Going to try out Tidal. Also annoying that Deezer can’t seem to be bothered at all.
