Logitech is closing mysqueezebox servers

Hi Cedzerosept,

Thanks for all your guidance on new Deezer plugin, I finally got everything working all ok.

After submitting your URL as per instruction several times with no joy I noticed there was an L missing at the end of the file extension .xm it should read .xml. I don't know if any other Deezer members noticed the typo.

But all is well in the Deezer camp. 

  A BIG Thanks to Philippe44, Michael Herger and to Deezer and yourself for the in-structural post that you put up for the Deezer community.

Cheers

@coypu 

Thank you to have found the error.

Unfortunately it's not possible to modify a message (unless I'm mistaken). I wish I could change the URL and indicate the correct one...

The URL that Cedzerosept Kindly put on his post RE: new Deezer plugin reads;

 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philippe44/lms-deezer/main/repo/repo.xm

It should read:  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philippe44/lms-deezer/main/repo/repo.xml

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hi All,

I am now running the new Deezer plugin with thanks to Cedzerosept for his post on how to do this.

The one thing I have noticed is that Deezer is streaming MP3 at 128kbps CBR although I put CD FLAC quality on the setup page with my Deezer acount. I have set up Deezer to stream High Fidelity on the Deezer settings page so in theory it should stream at the same bit rate in the Deezer app on LMS.

Cheers

@coypu 

It's apparently an identified bug. But even if MP3 128k CBR is indicated it seems that FLAC is used (so just a problem of information displayed).

Thanks for the info Cedzerosept much appreciated. 

Hi All,

Yesterday Deezer was running great with the all new Deezer plugin, but today Deezer refuses to play and when it does for a few seconds it sounds very stuttery and glitchy. I have changed nothing in the settings from yesterday, I wonder if any one else is experiencing this problem.

LMS plays radio stations no problem.

I had a similar experience. It turns out that the plugin now has to decipher the audio stream. In my case i'm running LMS on a Raspbrry Pi 2B which couldn't keep up deciphering the audio stream with a perl implementation.

installing the crypto lib solved the issue:

sudo apt-get install libcrypt-blowfish-perl

I hope this helps for you as well.

All the best,

Manuel

Deezer now running smooth as it should with LMS after plugin upgrade to 2.3.2 yesterday.

I have a raspberry pi 4 with 2GB memory and a HIFIBerry Digi + Pro Hat  running picoreplayer it’s more  than efficient to run LMS.

Might be worth  an upgrade Manuel…...but you have seemed to have solved your problem with the advice of philippe_44.

We have all been enjoying Deezer playing through Logitech Media Server for the last few days thanks to the GREAT efforts of Philippe_44 and Michael Herger from the Logitech Community. I must say that I had my doubts if this would ever happen but alas it has. 

I have noticed that updates to the new Deezer plugin are coming fast and furious, which means the team are developing the software as needs.

I know Deezer would had to have cooperated with all this and contributed to the new LMS plugin and we all thank them, but I feel they should at least make an announcement using the UPDATES LINK at the top of this page to thank  Philippe_44 and Michael Herger from the Logitech Communityd and to inform all the Deezer subscribers that use LMS to access their Deezer accounts that there is now a new plugin and to update their LMS software accordingly.

All the info in how to update LMS for the new updated plugin has been kindly posted by Cedzerosept on this page.

Cheers
