Error: requested content is not loading/fail to load content

:cyclone: Endless loading? If your phone app isn't loading the tracks or it's stuck with the message "Error: requested content is not loading", don't worry :smirk: . Try the steps mentioned below.

After each step, try playing the music again. If it’s still not working, go to the next step.

 

Steps for Android

  1. Restart the app (kill the app and remove it from the notification bar)
  2. Try another network (4G or Wifi)
  3. Restart your phone
  4. Delete all the cache & data from the app (Data and storage, and then “Clear all”), then restart the app
  5. Un-install the app and re-install the app

Steps for iOS

  1. Quit and relaunch the app
  2. Try another mobile (4G or Wifi)
  3. Empty Smart Cache
  4. Restart the phone
  5. Clear the app data
  6. Delete the app and reinstall it

@A.LeC I am working with developers and providing them feedback from users who are experiencing problems like yours. 
The troubleshooting steps are the best solution currently, but I understand that is not working for you (at least no long enough).
I am not in a position to offer any discount unfortunately as that is something that you need to discuss with our Deezer Support Team (I can’t guarantee any discount coming from them though).
Apologies for the inconvenience

Hi, I have the same error "Oops...The requested content is not loading" but only for FAMILY MIX and only on three iOS devices, I do not get the error on Mac OSX app and do not get the error on the web player and don’t get the error on Alexa!

I can access Family Mix everywhere but from my family’s iOS devices! sounds weird but it is what we are experiencing.

We are using iPhone 12, 11 and 10, latest versions of Deezer app and iOS, I have tried all the troubleshooting steps described here but nothing works. Hope you can help me fixing this issue.

Thanks

S.

For what reason was my problem moved here too? I have this problem repeated on all devices, in different places under different networks, but most often at home on a computer with high-speed Internet, as I wrote, there is no such problem with other players..

Thank you. But I don't want to argue or fuss. I have instead cancelled my Deezer subscription and will be trying other services with working apps. Music should be a pleasure and having frequent interruptions is really a big mood killer. These issues have been going on for a very long time and I really think that you, the Deezer team really don't know what the problem is, which means that any fixes won't come soon.

I completely agree with you, customer experience with Deezer support is not that good! And music should be a pleasure. 

I have an issue with Deezer family mix that cannot be reproduced when using an iPhone, that means also in the car with my family (probably the FAMILY MIX is good when you are with your FAMILY correct?).

I wrote many messages, more that three weeks ago, to Deezer using Facebook, reply was: use community.

I wrote on the community one week ago (see above): no reply.

I tried with chat as described here:  “Speak to one of our Deezer Support representatives via Webchat between the hours of 09:30 and 17:00 GMT on weekdays and 11:00 until 17:00 GMT on weekends. Click on the Chat With Us window, which will appear in the bottom-right corner of your screen during our office hours.” (https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115003864625-Contact-Deezer)

I said great! a chat! immediate support and feedback from Deezer! unfortunately there is no “chat with us” window at the bottom right corner and now it is a weekday and 11:22:26 GMT.

Perhaps the only thing to do is moving to a different (and working) music provider and…. RELAX listening your preferred music instead of losing time behind their support.

Hello!

I have been using Deezer on both Android and Windows PC for more than a year now, ever since I have encountered “Error: Failed to Play” and more often “Loading almost there” exclusively on Android almost everyday!

  • Both devices Windows and Android on the same network, same playlist same song, on Android ERROR on PC NEVER HAPPENS!
  • App is up to date, it’s happening on both stable and beta!
  • Have tried all suggestions of reinstalling and clearing cache

 

This has been an issue since day one, it has improved slightly I admit, but it’s still annoying and driving crazy!!!!

How comes an app fails to do it’s primary goal this bad :\

 

Please prioritize this issue before adding any features, speaking of features we haven’t seen any major additions to the app in quiet sometime, are you allocating any resources at all to Android?

 

Thank you, my apologies...
