Chromecast issue

Hello @Fabien Rayé !

Do you have any news regarding the Chromecast ?

Meanwhile, I have found another issue with the Chromecast : the "Recently played" playlist cannot be played at all on a Chromecast (I have tried with both the Android app and my browser on my laptop).

Also regarding all the problems with the Chromecast, because Spotify is working way much better with it, could it be linked to the use of Spotify connect to control it? Hence requesting (from the cloud) the device to skip the song for example, instead of (I suppose you do it like that) manually controlling the Chromecast, and maybe sending all the command at once even though the device is still trying to process the first one?

I do not know the way your app was made and so cannot really judge it as you might have good explanation for those problems, but I am getting more and more frustrated by the way you manage to delay and never solve such issues. The Chromecast has never worked well, the app is mostly slow (see this issue), some issues reported by users in stable version (for example the one with the playing order being reverted) are still present even after more than a year. And the only thing Deezer is saying is "Reinstall the app" (thanks for the 50+Go to redownload), "We will come back to you later" with no news, and finally the great app complete code re-work, that fixed nor improved absolutely nothing on my side (supposing that it is the 7.0 version that has been out for a few weeks now).

Seriously!! No news and it keep crashing

This is still an issue as far as I’m able to tell.

In addition to the above;

 When casting to a Chromecast device and pausing the music the cast connection seems to drop after being paused for less than a minute.

Hi @Schiben! 

Sorry about that. I asked internally about it. As soon as they return to me I let you know about updates.🕵🏽

Can you please send me the versions of the System you are using and the Deezer version too? Also, any screenshot or video of it, please? 🤔

Thank you.

Hi Jonathan

It's been consistent over several versions of the app, a couple versions of Android and 2 different phones. 

I'll see what I can gather and report back. 

Thanks,

Ben

Is anybody else on here having issues casting Deezer to a chromecast device?

I am trying to cast to a Cyrus Onecast amp and it is hopeless.  It drops out constantly.  There is also a huge delay between one track finishing and the next starting. 

I see from other posts that this seems to be have been a long-standing issue going back several years 

It would be good to hear others experience on this.

Cheers

Mark

Perfect @Schiben! 

Please let me know any updates.😊

Take care.

The team returned to me, they know about that but they don’t have any date to solve it for now. 😕

Any updates, I let you know. ✌🏽

Things have been working ok for the moment (about 10 songs). However, the notification widget Next buttons never work. The scrubber also doesn't work for manual movement. Play/Pause had a pretty big delay too. The cast connection to my Chromecast with Google TV did connect but took about twice as long as it services I've used.
