Does it support AirPlay 2?

Indeed but thanks to AirPlay « 1 ». 
iOS Deezer supports the multi room feature of AirPlay 2 but not the instant streaming and better buffer feature. 
if you try streaming from iTunes or better Music on an up to date macOS computer you’ll notice that the music starts and stops much faster. Streaming is supposed to be more reliable too. 
That’s the feature I wish Deezer offered. 

Ahh, get it. +1 for me. While it works, it does stall on occasion, andthere is respons latency. 

Would anyone clarify on this one? Are there any licensing issues? What’s the plan? @Rudi I’m betting it all on you!

Well there are some stories about AirPlay 2 (finally) coming to Spotify… see: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/spotify-calls-off-plans-to-support-airplay-2-frustrating-iphone-users/

What’s your plan Deezer?

Hello,

Could we get a status update on this one?

Is it part of the new year resolution?

That’s a killer feature for your iOS customers (in addition to a direct button to AirPlay selector from the player sheet).

At least Spotify says it’s in the work… https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/iOS-Airplay-2-Support-for-iOS/idc-p/5244350/highlight/true#M235171

Having tried Deezer’s remote feature with frustrating and limited success, I upgraded to a Bluesound Node 2021. The Bluesound app for Deezer is OK, but missing a few features and has a 2000 limit on my favourites playlist, of which I have over 4200 songs. However the internal DAC is better than what I had previously and, with regards to this topic, the Airply 2 works very well for me. Yes, there is a slight latency in response but not enough to bother anyone that listens to my music and the Airplay feature allows my to stream directly from my Deezer app. No latency would be better, but I not an issue when I focus on the quality of music selection and playback.

Hello Deezer Devs,

Do you think we would get that? A direct access to the AirPlay speakers select view from the player view? Radio France did this (see below) in their app. That would save a lot of taps and make the Deezer experience so much better (while waiting for instant streaming). What do you think?

 Thanks.

What do  you think? @Kevin Deezer @GuillaumeDZ @Rudi 

and @Flo (it would be really nice to have you in this conversation and get some insights. Thanks a lot for the good work, (iOS) Deezer is virtually the app I use most).

New Deezer user here on iOS and Mac. My partner and I use Airplay almost exclusively for playing music in our home. We have an original HomePod in the kitchen and a mini in the bedroom. Plus Sonos Beam and Ikea Symfonisk lamps in the lounge and a JBL Link Portable for the bathroom. Airplay in my opinion is the best multitoom solution for speakers from a mix of manufacturers. As such getting it as slick as possible is very important for me. Obviously the Apple Music app is the benchmark here and is perfect but I SO like my Deezer Flow.

The multiform support is very welcome on Deezer but the latency (~0.75 sec) on play controls feels a little clunky. Also while the phone lock screen control pane updates to reflect what is playing on Airplay (if initiated by voice on the HomePod) the Deezer app does not - which I would like it to. Support for long form queue, I guess would sort that. And I’d feel a warm glow knowing the target device was handling the streaming rather than coming from the phone (which I believe requires a transcode - even if that is to ALAC)

Another thing is the Audio Output control on the play sheet. Currently there are 2 taps to select phone and 3 (Control->AirPlay & Bluetooth->Device(s)) to select an AirPlay device. My view is that the current control should just bring up the AirPlay menu directly. This still requires 2 taps to select the phone as this is on the device’s panel and then only 2 to select an alternative device instead of 3.

The tradeoff is you lose the shortcuts to the Equaliser and Audio Settings (and remote control if you use that). However for me I use these so infrequently I don’t mind going the long route into the main settings. Overall it would save me several taps per day and hundreds per year.
