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?

At this point I wouldn’t hold out hope for a fix here. It’s not an app issue since installing old versions of the app doesn’t fix the problem, but a back-end / authentication issue between Deezer and Google. Since it doesn’t affect the majority of Deezer’s users I’m afraid aesthetic tweaks and quick-win new features will continue to be prioritized by a struggling development team over core functionality like HiFi device support, which is what I consider this to be.

Deezer doesn't work withs googlecast audio devices since months.

  • Google Chromecast Audio 1.56.281627
  • Teufel Raumfeld Connector 1.28.102057

I canceled my subscription again.

Deezer worked yesterday/sometimes with

  • Google Chromecast Video 2. Gen.  1.56.275994

.. but that's not useful to hear with a Video Device with turned on TV

Hi,

now I would to say one thing.

At the beginning of this issue, I had a work around to use my pioneer speaker. I had to cast to group with speaker inside.

Good, NOW, from one week, also this possibility doesn’t work! Instead to fix the bug, Deezer worst the issue. Good Guys. That all for a paid service!

I have been having this issue, as reported several times here, since February, with LG speaker. I have now had to buy a different speaker. Thanks for nothing Deezer, such poor service.

Why do you want to change the speaker, why not change the provider? Deezer isn't the only player on the market. I went to Tidal.

How do you find Tidal to be compared to Deezer? Although I've been a subscriber since 2016 I'm thinking about moving on as well, since there's no point in having a HiFi service that I can't use.

Deezer is certainly clearer and has better recommendations. That's the end of it. Tidal is cheaper, has Tidal connect, gapless, playlist folders and record labels information. If you learn to work with it, there's no reason to go back.

I have Deezer from 2010.

I have my catalogue. And i have to use a service to migrate.

Then I use Google assistant that support only Deezer or Spotify. But I don't like Spotify.

But if the situation don't change, I will have to left Deezer for Spotify
