Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

I love deezer, but the lack of a funcionality that let me control the music playing on my android tv with my phone it’s one of the things that make me want to go back to spotify.

We appreciate your honest feedback @Estéfano Vechietti. We're working on the feature to discover more devices around so that stream is possible. We hope to have more updates before the end of this year, so I thank you for your patience and support 

I just moved from Spotify to try the Hifi offer but I'm already frustrated about this missing feature…

I hope that it will be cover soon...

I've recently moved from Play Music because of streaming in FLAC on Deezer. Your FLACs are good enough and mostly sounds yummy. Play Music is much cheaper, but such remote control by phone feature will make me feel myself much happier.

Implementation:

1. App/WebApp opened and registered itself on a server

2. In another app you have access to currently registered webapps/apps

3. They are deregistered manually (or session timeout)

4. Same webapp/app have the same id

5. Control server has API like

- nextTrack

- previousTrack

- playPlaylist

6. User opens app on phone

7. App registers itself on server

8. Now, there is additional button on both app and webapp: "route to", press shows menu of other currently registered devices, and on press you stop playing on current app, sync play order and start playing on chosen device

9. When app is opened and another app is currently playing, idle app shows remote control screen by default instead of default screen

10. There is "detach" button to detach from remote controlled app and start playing locally

11. While detach button is not pressed any selected from Deezer playlist/album/track should be sent to remote app instead of being playing locally: 1) sync play order; 2) trigger "play"

You already have feature to sync play orders, all you need is to trigger play order syncing remotely and support play/pause, next, previous remote calls. You also have authentication mechanism to determine user apps.

Do not look into local Wi-Fi network implementations, it has too many pitfalls and will lead to questions like "i have double NAT and your remote doesn't work, should not be a problem, fix it, fix it"

Thanks for the feedback, @Andrew.Snejovski. Will definitely pass it on to our teams :thumbsup_tone2:

A feature like spotify connect for Deezer would be very welcome

+1 for remote control
