I think Deezer airplay is not responsive enough. There is a 2-3 sec delay regarding every button press and music skip or pause. With Apple Music I have never experienced this lag. Please try to make it instant, it’s frustrating.

Hey
This is a problem with Apple or is normal for the Airplay protocol. The stream is buffered for a few seconds each time. Deezer can't change anything.
And I am not surprised that it works better with Apple Music.
Hi,
This delay is only occurring if I use Deezer with airplay. If I use other programs with airplay e.g. YouTube or Spotify or Apple Music the skip or the pause button is instantly does the action. So I think it’s not the airplay protocol… I understand the buffering but if I press pause, there is always a delay. I hope you can look into the code or implement it differently.

Oh well, okay. That sounds really a bit strange, as if the command had already been issued with a delay.
Which deezer version are you using and which iOS version?
Do you have any other device with which you can test and compare this?
Deezer 9.2.0.5 and IOS 15.2 (iPhone XR). I have tried it with a Mac book air M1 the delay is less ~1sec but still exist. With other app (YouTube Spotify etc. ) there is no delay. Probably they use a different buffer technique, but I don’t know I am not an expert…
Well it’s not really a problem with Apple, it’s mainly a problem with Deezer. Deezer relies on AirPlay 1 which needs buffering and delays… whereas AirPlay 2 (which has been released with iOS 11.4 and is used by Apple Music) introduces instant streaming (and longer buffers).
Keep looking forward to Deezer finally introducing it.
