Windows 10 has connected standy, which means that when putting the device in standby (turn off button), music keeps playing an notifications keep coming. Just like an Ipad, when putting it off.
The thing is, it only works with real apps from the store.
Deezer desktop app is available in the store, but it is not a real UWP. So when I turn of my (screen) from my surface device (or any other device). Music stops. I know I can turn off Connected standby, but that is not what I want. Even when I play radio and deezer at the same time. When I turn off my device, radio keeps playing, but deezer stops.
Is it possible to support connected stanby for Deezer?

    You can download the old version of the Deezer app. The old version I mean the UWP App. There are a lot of things that are not working like the main page. But playback is working fine. All you need to do is download the AppX Package and turn on Developper Mode in the Settings App of Windows 10. Here is the link

    Imagine releasing the source code for the older UWP App. I would fix it in a week. Don’t need to bother your Devs I would fix it since Connected Standby users are still a minority. Will wait to clone the repo.
