Using Deezer on Android. When Chromecasting I cannot select 'play next' or 'add to queue' for songs. The options are greyed out. They work fine if I stop casting. I've seen similar posts going back months on here and can't believe this basic functionality hasn't been sorted out.
Hi there, unfortunately that is correct. It is not possible to use these two features on while using Chromecast. I am happy to pass it on to hopefully change this 😉
There are complaints about Deezer and Chromecast on this forum going back months. In addition to the above I also have constant app crashes when trying to use Chromecast, and random losing the stream. I really wanted to pick up a family plan here, but Deezer's lack of Chromecast support is absolutely shocking. Oh well, Spotify it is then.
Hi @Steve-K we are currently working on these issues. It would help us a lot if you can let us know which device you use to cast and which Chromecast device you have. The more technical information the better and I will pass it on. I can understand you being disappointed and we hope to welcome you back once we fixed it.
I've run into this issue too when using Deezer with a Chromecast. I'm using a Pixel 2 and casting to a Google home group consisting of a mixture of Google Home Minis and Audio Chromecasts.
@Aaron Romeo It looks as though Deezer couldn't care less about Chromecast. They have no intention of fixing it and seem to be deleting community threads on the topic.
There's two ideas suggested for queue management while casting. Please vote on the ideas.

Admins: please merge these two, and help the dev team prioritize the issues.

There are lots of other community posts for this topic (and additionally shuffle, too)

Hi there @hayalci



Thank you for exploring the community and compiling this list. We're aware they're in separate topics and we've decided to keep them separate to make it open for more people to find it. Feedback is collected by us from all parts of the community, so when we speak to our teams about what our users want, we don't leave anything out ;)



For the time being you're right, we need people to vote for the idea so that we have a louder voice when representing our community!
This feature is an absolute must for deezer to continue being listed as an explicit Google home service in the Google home app.



I would expect nothing less than the same standards of any app with the prestige to be listed by name on the Google home app.



As a software development professional myself, I highly suggest both the severity and priority of these bugs are raised to show stopping status because customers will not buy a half supported product for their smart homes.
Any update on this? Chromecast Shuffle and 'Play Next' functionality has been an issue for years - can you tell me whether this is being actively worked on?
HI @Ezman this is indeed being worked on. We are actually working on a new version for the Chromecast integration, I am afraid I do not have any timeframe to share. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I have a Pixel 3 and am experiencing this same issue whenever I am casting to a Chromecast
Thanks for the feedback @Jadin.Press

Please see Flo's reply above 🤓

It's every Google device I have ever tried to cast to: Chromecast 4k, Chromecast Original, Google Home Mini, Google Home, etc
I was testing Deezer and not implementing this feature is a show stopper for my family. Bye Deezer.
Queuing songs whilst connected to Chromecast is a deal breaker for me too. I was ready to switch the whole family from Spotify to Deezer, as it is a vastly superior service, but without this feature I cannot justify it. Such a shame.

Hi, same problem here using Xiamoi with MIUI 10.3 and casting to Google Chromecast audio 3.

Hi there @ofer.perelman 

Sorry to hear that. We're working on developing a new integration with Chromecast that we hope to resolve most of our issues. Thank you for your support.

Hello @Rudi,

Is there any expected date to launching this feature? 

 

Thanks

 

Hi there @Ervison Lima 

No specific date, but we expect more updates about it by the end of the year 😉

Well, there’s not many days yet and this was reported at least a year ago.  Lack of “Play Next” and “Add to Queue” is an absolute deal breaker for me.

Please help me! I’m currently subscribed to Tidal for HiFi but I’m so sick of having the likes of Jay-Z and Boyonce rammed down my throat every time I open the app (not a fan!) I need to get off that platform but HiFi is a must for me.

Deezer is the obvious platform if only it worked! There must be thousands of Chromecast and Chromecast built in users effected buy this silly bug.

Deezer is so well positioned to be the choice for HiFi enthusiasts but is let down by the lack of these basic features.  

You're very right @goodomens and that's why we've been working on a new integration for quite some time now. It won't be finished by the end of the year, but we've been told we're almost there! All we need is a bit more of your patience. Thank you for your understanding :thumbsup_tone2:

Looking forward to it.  Will there be a chance to beta test?

Hey @goodomens 

Absolutely - albeit for mobile apps. We currently have a Beta program for both Android and iOS apps. For more info, please see here :wink:

Which year was that? 2019? So this must be finished and released for quite some time now?

My patience is running out, especially with all the Deezer advertising these days.

Hey @MrHaroldA 

Apologies for the experience you've been having. Yes, we have our new Chromecast integration ready and working but play next and add to queue are still features we need to develop for it. I'm unable to give you a timescale but I assure you that your feedback will add priority to their development. I say this because I know our focus for the end of this year and 2021 is to get all these integrations with other devices to work better and do more :thumbsup_tone2:
