Enable Elite/HiFi on Squeezebox


10's of thousands of audiophile users use various Squeezebox/LMS solutions to stream high files files/Tidal/Qubuz to hifi systems.

Deezer is already available as a Squeezebox plugin but sadly, hifi quality is not yet enabled.

I switched from Tidal Hifi back to Deezer as I assumed that hifi quality would be available on my Squeezebox solution, but sadly that was not the case.



When will Deezer Hifi become available on Squeezebox?

Hi,

I used to have a Deezer Hifi subscription that I used on My Squeezeboxes with the ickStream plugin. After the plugin was discontinued in 2019 I downgraded Deezer subscription and i was ready to leave Deezer altogether… until recently after two years Hifi is supported again on squeezebox. Even better, it is now part of the premium subscription and not a separate more expensive subscription any more. One happy costumer here.

Eternal gratitude as well to Michael on the squeezebox forum who did the magic of updating the open source squeezebox plugin for Deezer. Without him it wouldn't have happened. 

Best regards,

Manuel


Hi everyone, just in case somebody steps in this topic, we had recently an issue with login on Squeeze Box.

That issue was caused by an improvement that we made adding a new layer of security to the login process. 

Today we have whitelisted Squeeze IP address and you should not have more issues in the log in process.

Also as Squeeze Box still presents our very very old logo, we have reach out Logitech to try update our logo.

If you still get any issue log in, please let us know.


Hello

In my case I am running LMS 8.3.1 and the deezer logo is modern and the connection does not pose any problems. I receive my music well in FLAC so everything is going very well! Thanks to the deezer devs for maintaining Deezer under LMS!

mysquuezebox.com will close for good this month, and with it goes support for Deezer. This is because access to Deezer is via mysqueezbox.com There is however a solution, because with the support of Deezer, it would be possible to create a Plug-in App which would work independently of mysqueezbox.com So, fellow Squeezebox users, please lets petition Deezer to agree to support such a Plug-in. Just to be clear, Deezer would not need to do anything, except agree to a method of authentication, the SB community have the skills to build the App itself


Hi @BobAbraham  thanks for sharing your concerns. Unfortunately, it is true that mySqueezebox.com is be shutdown according their news.

Do you know there is another thread here in Community where this is been discuss as well - Here

This was shared there:

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.
