Linux needs a native client for Deezer!

@siphothanks for your awesome work. I installed it and all went good but at I get an error at the login, which won’t allow me to get to the main page. Here’s a screenshot so you can understand better:

 

@pochopsp That error might be because Deezer is not assigned to the “deezer://” URL protocol handler. My build script includes a .desktop file which automatically does this. Confirm that you have “/usr/share/applications/deezer.desktop” on your system and that it contains “MimeType=x-scheme-handler/deezer;” If your system does have the file, perhaps it just hasn’t registered the URL handler yet. A restart might help.

P.S. Sorry for taking so long to respond, Gmail put my Deezer community notifications in Spam.

Also I want to mention, that I am not aware of any streaming service, providing native Linux app, other than Spotify. And as @Alblinux has mentioned, their app has some technical issues. So if your team would be able to make a decent native app, you would attract not only Spotify users, but many other Linux users, that do not use any streaming service because of that and because Spotify is not available in all regions. And as it was mentioned before, it is not really hard to port it on Linux since it uses Electron technology.

Hello @Alblinux and @flygrounder, your arguments are very much valid, there’s no denying that. Even though we’re working on many projects at the moment with different priorities, one of the biggest part of our job is to forward your opinions and requests to our teams. We can assure you that we’re all aware of the demand for a Linux client, and we’ll keep pushing for it as so many users are requesting it. We really hope to get back to you all with a good news soon enough, I know it’s frustrating that we cannot give you a precise release date, but we will let you know as soon as we have more information.

Have a nice week

Hello,

I use https://snapcraft.io/deezer-unofficial-player on Linux with my family account. For few days now, it doesn’t work anymore with a message “Ne courez plus après le temps perdu, Deezer ne s'utilise désormais plus avec cette version de votre navigateur.

Spotify provide a Linux application why not doing the same ? Why not asking the dev whether you can get the code already working ?

Thx,

643 votes now. It’s feel that there are so much people searching the same.. to use deezer in linux

Thanks for the support @Alblinux 

Hey @b_nounours check the info shared above, hopefully it'll help. And don't forget to vote! 

you have options apart from official support: the best approach IMHO is the aur deezer package that at least have one ubuntu package in some point of this thread, test it, may be you have luck. I am using the deeser aur package and it’s awesome.

Just another user of a linux based OS, here, looking for an alternative to Spotify, hoping that an officially supported version appears before my trial runs out…...

almost 650 votes and no linux version or date yet. Come on deezer!
