Remote control music on another device / Device discovery

After 2 years, it looks like you guys still haven't gotten anywhere with this remote feature so it looks like I’ll just stay with Spotify.  Too bad.  Whichever group that can come up with it first playing lossless music would practically win this battle.  I guess they figure most people listen to music on little earbuds; but not all of us do.

I personally like listening on devices too @avguytx and Deezer wants to have this feature, but with our resources, it takes time 

I'll forward your comments to the teams involved, thank you for your honesty 

Hi I'm new to Deezer. Spotify had had this function for years. Will it ever come to Deezer? Trying to find a reason to stay. I love being able to play music on my home theater system but be able to control the music while I'm cleaning in the kitchen. 

@rudi How much time do you need? Maybe add features to attract more customers and revenue wouldn't be an issue.

Are there any progress on this? Deezer should really implement it. I’m sure lots of other users who do not use Community wants this too.

IMO, Spotify has better technology. But Deezer has better radio & recommendations. Such a trade off.

Wow. 2 years!

This feel like one of those tasks that are forever buried in the very bottom of the backlog.

I looked at the API and it should be possible to make a surrogate remote control: a small web page with embedded player that actually plays and an API providing remote control for this ebmedded player. Feels like ~40 hours of work + whatever is needed to make the gui for the remote. 

Will this be interesting/useful for anyone? Doing it for myself alone doesn’t seem to be worth the effort.

Yesterday, this thread had his 3rd birthday. And there is still no ETA for this feature, it’s not even clear if this ever will happen. So I will probably switch back to Spotify after my test months.

Too bad, I like the radio and recommendations of Deezer much better.
But in my home setup with multiple devices to control and one AV receiver to play the music, Spotify works much better.

In theory it should be even possible to mock the player part of the deezer app/android sdk to make a nice remote control out of it. Should take less time than for this 3-year-old (happy birthday!) feature to get any priority on Deezer side. Maybe another month or two of boring evenings.

@Rudi what do you think? ;)

On the other hand, I’m still pretty salty about you guys throwing away the native library and therefore killing my unborn Mopidy integration. Who needs features and convenience in the sad world of DRM…

Anyway, if someone wants to help with the browser-to-browser remote control (by making a web ui for it, testing beta-versions or maybe supplying me with beer...), please ping me on equidamoid@gmail.com. Put “deezer” in the subject. If there will be enough interest, I’ll just do it.

There are several good services. And each service need to make some new features to exceed rivals. Deezer seems not to add features. Working on music quality - great idea, but it’s not the only ting to do. Look at spotify - not the best sound, not so good usability but the have some uniq features that makes it the most popular service. IDK why you don’t want to compete with them.
