Desktop App - [Mac OS / OSX} Magic Bar Support

I know the desktop app is still in Beta. It's pretty good already, but would be great if you add support for the magic bar to start, stop and skip tracks like iTunes and Spotify.

Even the not official Google Play Music app supports it! So I think it's an easy job to do.

A broader idea is to add at least a tray icon to control the flow so I don't have to always jump to the interface to skip tracks.

Platform [Desktop Mac OS / OSX]

    Some improvements were made with the new version of the app, @Filyppe Meneses Coelho, 4.18.

    Could you please check if it works? Bear in mind, you need to restart your Mac.

    Hello. Deezer HAD support for touchbar. But now it gone somewhere :( 

    I want to continue my deezer subscription, but without good mac os app it will be downgrade for me… :(
    I know that users with macos are taking 1-7% of all of your clients, but we need a good support too… 

    I leaved deezer premium right because lack of support of macos app.

     

    BTW, i am an developer and have some experience in electron app developement. I will be glad to help you right with macos integrations. If you interested in cooperation - contact me with email: mk@altrecipe.com or with telegram: @altrecipe, please.

      Hi there @kazak1377 

      Thank you very much for your detailed feedback - I'll be passing this to our developers so they're fully aware. What Mac OS X do you have?

        This worked for me using latest MacOS version (macOS 10.15.2 (19C57). Had to close and re-open Deezer.

            Alright removing deezer from that list and adding it enabled play/pause and next/prev buttons. But there is still no support of MPNowPlayingInfoCenter, so no auto showing buttons of media control. And no song info in notifications center widget.

              Still nothing is done about this, 3 months and several updates later, no touch bar support yet. We are after all paying customers and this is a feature of many of our laptops which is being ignored.

              Hi @Damjan Dimovski 

              Thank you for your honest feedback. At the moment our team is focused on solving the emerging issues of login and HiFi playback on the desktop app, among other things that are keeping the app from running properly. It's just a matter of prioritisation - thank you for your understanding, I'll still be passing your feedback on :v_tone2:
