Why does Chromecast not work?


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?

Since Rudi left, communication that the Deezer side has deteriorated rapidly and now that this is a really big problem, it is zero. Very disappointing for me.

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.

I opened a request to help center two weeks ago. I sent an email this morning.

Your colleague said me that they are working to the issue.

Do you want my id anyway?

As an observation, this doesn't appear to be an issue with Cromecast in general but with specific third-party implementations of Chromecast. I have an actual Chromecast dongle, a Chromecast Audio dongle and a Chromecast with Google TV dongle, all from Google, and all work fine. I can also cast to my Sony TV which has the Google TV OS. It's a current model and presumably has the current Google TV OS, whereas I suspect some receivers and soundbars might not be updating anore it'll they're not current.

Yes it is. But all others services (Spotify, tidal, tune in, castbox ecc....) Work fine with all devices.

More I have random problems with Chromecast audio devices, groups and sometimes, Google assistant on nest hub don't find devices when I ask it to play music from Deezer

I think the issue you're experiencing has to do with your HK Chromecast implementation and not Deezer. Deezer is still working with all of my Chromecast devices.

I have a Pioneer, for example, and all Chromecast services work, and the only Deezer stopped working 10 days ago..

Looks like I'm going to have to take this back, at least partially. I just tried casting to my Chromecast dongle (1st generation, firmware 1.36.159268) and it failed. Rebooting the dongle didnt help. My Google TV devices still work...
