"Add to Queue" and "Play next" available via Chromecast

Is there an option to play next while I'm casting through Chromecast? While listening to an album I had the urge to listen to another track. I wanted to add this to my queue so I could continue to listen the album after I listened to this random track. This seems to be an option that is available when I'm just listening on my iPhone, but once I start casting I can no longer add tracks to my queue to play next. What am I don't wrong? Thanks.

Hi @cress728, there is no queue option yet on Deezer/Chromecast, but I moved your topic to our Got an Idea forum and we will pass your feedback on to our devs 🙂

This is needed and is available on GPM and Spotify, it has been on the roadmap for years but unfortunately is not seen as a priority.

Chromecast audio queuing is not working (android 7.0 and ios 9.3.5). This seems to be an old issue. Any chance of this being fixed?

How nice would it be if tracks could be queued? This is currently not possible when listening through Chromecast Audio (Android 7.0 and ios 9.3.5 (iPad)). And also, while you're at it, make it possible for other users to add tracks to the same queue, still while listening through Chromecast Audio (I am assuming that this is not a supported feature, since queuing doesn't work at all on Chromecast Audio).

I don't want any payment for this great idea other than the features described. Thank you.

I agree that this would need to be added. Now, when editing the current playlist (e.g. reordering or removing tracks) on the Android app while chromecasting, the changes appear to be accepted, but then there is a disappointment when in fact the original unmodified playlist plays.

If I'm connected to my Chromecast it isn't possible to add an new song to the queue or into "play next" whereas if I'm not connected it's possible. I don't get why this is programmed this way. Would be great if that would be changed.

Hi Freiderik, Thanks a lot for the feedback! It's not implemented yet and I have no details about any changes in the near future. But I'll leave your idea open and if it gets enough votes, maybe this can be prioritised on our roadmap :)

Thanks again for this!

Come on guys, to be stripped of this option is a joke.
When I brag about Deezer and let my friends have a go with it they all look at me like how do you mean I can't add this song to play next. And then I feel stupid because that's the second thing you need, right after the play button.

Ditto. I'm really enjoying Deezer so far, but this omission is just pathetic.

There are two ideas suggested for queue management while casting:

https://en.deezercommunity.com/got-an-idea-9/chromecast-add-to-queue-play-next-15461
https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/350

There are lots of other community posts for this topic (and additionally shuffle, too):

https://en.deezercommunity.com/your-account-and-subscription-5/general-constructive-feedback-11181

This feature is an absolute must for deezer to continue being listed as an explicit Google home service in the Google home app.

I would expect nothing less than the same standards of any app with the prestige to be listed by name on the Google home app.

As a software development professional myself, I highly suggest both the severity and priority of these bugs are raised to show stopping status because customers will not buy a half supported product for their smart homes.

Looks like after years There is still not this required option.
I pay for deezer hifi and cast on the chromecast to my audio system, queuing and shuffle should be working, Why this issue is still not adressed?

Hi there @Tagh_azog

We're working on a brand new Chromecast integration and we hope to include many new and requested features. Stay tuned 😉

Obviously this is an essential activity. On Google Music and Spotify I have enjoyed this feature. Please address urgently. Limiting one album then having to add manually is a real drag. I will listen to a single artist's many albums most days and stops after possibly 5 songs is annoying. Always listening to Chromecast or wifi hearing aids. Please fix this fault.

No, absolutely not @NQuadrat. We're still working on a new integration that hopefully will extinguish these problems. Thank you for your patience and support :thumbsup_tone2:

This, and gapless playback, are the most annoying missing features of Deezer. Not being able to add music to a queue while casting is plain irritating when you have friends over.

 

I have talked friends out of joining Deezer for this reason.

Okay Deezer, what has happened to your once good app?

I’ve returned to Deezer after about a year away trying other HiFi music streaming services.  I think Deezer has the best catalogue, so I want to use Deezer but you’re preventing me from signing up because of your broken app.

My HiFi setup consists of a Cambidge CXN v2 with Chromecast built in, Andriod mobile and I’m streaming from the Deezer app to Chromecast.  Whenever I do this 2 of the most fundamental controls for anyone serious about music vanish, those being Play Next and Add to Queue.

 

Screenshot of track menu before casting

Why are such fundamental options missing?  Less used options like “See song credits”, “Launch Track Mix” and “Don’t recommend this track” these work but no “Play Next” or “Add to Queue”???

Please let us know when the basic controls work again so I can give Dezzer another try.

 

I really am speachless that such basics are missing.

It’s not just irritating without these features you can hardly say Deezer is Chromecast compatible.  It’s like a camera without a shutter, a computer without a screen, a phone that doesn’t make calls.  These are fundamental features any music app must have.

Deezer has a HiFi option so presumably they know users will be using their service to stream music to HiFi equipment and probably one of the most common methods is via Chromecast.  It’s been over 12 months and this feature is still missing, it is appalling, it really should be the highest priority for the development of the app.  Deezer are shooting themselves in the foot.

Hi there @goodomens 

Thank you for coming to us. I've also replied to you on another topic.

We're working on a new cast integration, which should include more options, including the features you mentioned - so all we need is a bit more of your patience until we finish it :thumbsup_tone2:
