Logitech is closing mysqueezebox servers

I suppose we are getting to the point where Deezer subscribers are now jumping ship. Surely they must see that this situation must somehow be resolved between Deezer and Logitech Media Server to make this streaming service work for a GREAT many paying subscribers who listen to Deezer this way.

I tried to submit a post on Sunday but the Deezer Moderators blocked me posting my comments of the conversation I had with one of their support agents…...they have not contacted me yet to give me the reasons for this action.

I await with bated breath.

I do find the lack of engagement from Deezer community managers to be appalling. The last official message was 21 days ago then complete radio silence. What’s happening Deezer, is customer service being sacrificed in an effort to try and find your elusive profits?

As far as I know the point is that Deezer did not give the API for LMS integration.

Spotify and Qobuz did, that’s why it’s ok

At this stage in the game you would think that Deezer would keep us updated  by using the UPDATES link at the top of the Deezer Community heading.

The one thing that worries me is I don’t think Deezer have the trained staff with the technical knowledge to be able to engage with us regarding the issue that they find them self’s in.

Pandora plugin has been created with initial success. Tidal plugin also started with some success. Both will be worked on by smart people in the LMS developer community. Extra features have already been added to both.

Which plugin has had no work started?

Deezer.

I have been trying Qobuz and Spotify with LMS and both work very well. I would recommend other Squeezebox / LMS users to switch. Like many audiophiles on here, we would prefer to stay using Deezer, but given the fact that Deezer login is no longer supported via LMS, it makes sense to abandon Deezer forever. It’s a shame because I originally chose Deezer as it had the best cross platform device support but that is no longer the case. 

Deezer. Please help philippe44 code an LMS plugin.Provide him the support needed for each LMS server to authenticate its own connection so we can use LMS with Deezer.

@Leonídia.Deezer ... thanks for your feedback... hope there is a way to continue the Deezer / mysqueezebox.com login. The fact of the matter is that a lot of us have built up an ecosystem of hifi hardware, devices and software with Deezer as our chosen streaming service. We like Deezer because it used to have strong support across many devices, is high quality, and just worked. Now if a streaming service no longer works the route of least resistance is to change the streaming service to one that does rather than obsolete perfectly good hardware, especially if we have invested the most amount of money in a Squeezebox / LMS hifi system. The Squeezebox platform still offers many other possibilities e.g. Qobuz, Spotify so these unfortunately are the obvious alternatives. 

Hi Leonidia,

At Last we have some input from Deezer…….better late than never.

Could you please elaborate on “if there’s any official method to use Deezer again on Squeezebox.” I assume you are implying security issues, and does Deezer have the technical expertise to implement to this.

I’m sure the very clever people at Logitech could help you with this  if you engage with them.

cheers
