Logitech is closing mysqueezebox servers

Logitech is closing mysqueezebox servers in 2 weeks…..

Deezer plugin uses the mysqueezebox server to login to Deezer to make the service work on squeezebox devices via LMS.

this means the Deezer plugin will stop working in under 2 weeks.

please Deezer work with the community now developing Logitech media server to allow a plugin not requiring mysqueezebox to work so we can continue to enjoy the service.

Deezer is the only streaming service effected by this closure so being quick/first to solve the issue could mean grabbing some subscribers from the other streaming services that will also be cut off from LMS squeezebox users because of this closure.

If Deezer isn’t able to come up with a solution or help community with info to help create a plugin it will force me to switch to a service who have a plugin that works without mysqueezebox.

    Hello @Jophus @t1no @coypu @Pascal9 @Zayn Belmonte unfortunately what our user @Innocent is true.

    Nevertheless is important to highlight that Logitech discontinued the Squeezebox platform back in 2012 and it is through a custom media server that was create after, that several apps managed to keep working like Deezer.

    Our teams are currently looking  if there is any possibility to bring Deezer back, however, I don’t want to give any falses hopes that it will happen.

    So please stay tuned and keep an eye here and on Logitech forums, as there may be a workaround available. We will inform our users if there’s any official method to use Deezer again on Squeezebox.

    Deezer not showing  library: search for tracks, and playlists, favourite artists and favourite albums.

    The Logitech Server went down yesterday for a couple of hours, when it back on again it did not sync with Deezer.

    Anybody else have this problem?

    Cheers

    Hello @coypu thanks for your message. Do you still reproduce the same issue?

    We didn’t go any other case in these previous weeks.

    Have you tried any troubleshooting?

    Hi Leonidia,

    I managed to get The Logitech Server working again with Deezer. I had to delete my squeezebox account and renew it. Once I had done that everything worked again. I’m sure this was caused by the LMS going off line for a brief time, I’m sure this was nothing to do with Deezer. I’m now a happy bunny. 😃

    Cheers

    I am having the exact same issue. My music player runs on lms. And it won’t be able to play deezer in 2 weeks. Will force me to switch to spotify, which I do not prefer.

    Hi 

    Same problem for me. I will never return to Spotify since the Neil Young affair. I will go Qobuz, but it’s more expensive and I will lose the podcasts. 

    I would really prefer to stay with Deezer and continue to use LMs ;)

    Unfortunately, this will be over next week... Logitech shuts down the server for mysqueezebox.com Without, we are not able to login to Deezer, even if you run a local server. As I heard, Deezer does not provide login credentials. This mean all happy Squeezebox users have to leave Deezer.

    I will have the same problem and we are hundreds of users. Let's meet here to demonstrate the community Deezer is going to loose, if they will not work together with us. Please give a shout:

    This is the perfect opportunity to finally integrate deezer properly into the Logitech Media Server, without having to go through mysqueezebox.com! Please Deezer, make the integration together with the community possible! I want to continue using deezer :)

    I will also be losing Deezer via LMS soon as well, which is a pain as I recently signed up for another 12 months. I’m not sure what is preventing a plugin being developed for LMS, but it would be great if Deezer could support a resolution to this.
