Hello dear DEEZER developers,

We are now writing the year 2019.

You still haven't made it possible to switch between the profiles of a family account on external hardware. No, it's not a hardware manufacturer's fault, it's your crippled API the hardware accesses. In my opinion this is a basic function if you already offer multiaccounts. Where is the point of only being able to access the master account?

Why do your competitors manage to make this possible? Why can't you finally develop your API further?

Unfortunately, as a customer, I never had the feeling that the functionality of DEEZER had grown, or that someone in your company was taking care of the further development of basic functions.
Just a pity that you don't use your full potential or don't want to use it for cost reasons.

So let's be clear: When will it be possible to switch between the profiles of a family account on external hardware (e.g. Sonos, HEOS, SoundTouch, ...)?

Thank you for a hopefully informative answer.

Hi there, Sonos, Heos and Soudthouch apps are developed by themselves, but we have already passed this feedback on to them! 🙂

Hi @Frank Vereecken , it is already available for Sonos, and we are pushing for having the same option for HEOS, but no ETA in the short term to be 100% transparent with you.
Thanks :relaxed:

Hey @LILA8910 

I'm not sure if I misunderstood what you said but are you referring to HEOS devices? If yes, don't worry, we're working hard on connectivity this year :relaxed:

@Rudi Yes that's what I mean, but seems like is taking over more than 3 years ? Looking at the first posr ?

You mean 2 years since Jan 2019, Lars @LILA8910?
So much has happened to Deezer since then, so many new features added. The good news is that for HEOS speakers, things are definitely moving :wink:

Bump!

When will it happen?

How hard can it be?!

 

Honestly, I can not see why Deezer says it is "supported" on hardware devices since it can not deliver this basic functionality.

Seriously, It's pure basic, first of them all- logging in.

Who cares about the rest, since you can not log in? 

Yep, logging in does not work. That how should it be called. Kind of critical issue, right?

Please step on it. If necessary, force developers of the apps - It's your brand that is suffering from poor service delivery.

Is there any update on this?  If not where can we vote to get the functionality added?

So, four years after, no progres?

Deezer on HEOS still useless as I can’t log in to any other family account, just main profile. Looks like spotify is the way to go! Great job Deezer! Way to go!

maybe try to contact some engineering team for that issue? for example Embrox. They are not only software, but hardware engineering company too. Good luck!
