The status can change if more votes are added @MrHaroldA - that's the point :relaxed:

Thanks for the feedback @squire23 

Please vote!

 

Why should we vote? It’s marked as “not for now”, so it won’t appear in any list on the idea page.

Just to add my voice, this too is a deal breaker for me.  I am on a  hifi trial.

Casting to Humax Aura (Android Freeveiw box) with built in chromecast, from Samsung S6Lite (Android11) is a solution I have been searching for to get flac into my AVR.  But an inability to "Play Next" or otherwise manage the play queue is a deal breaker.

Agree with this. Pretty crucial functionality to not have.

Thanks for registering your feedback here @McT super valuable! Also understand the frustration, it's getting a lot of traction these days.

I'll let you know if this gets prioritised :relaxed:

That's a dark outlook on what we can do with Google @MrHaroldA but I totally understand your frustration, you've got a point.

At the end of the day, the feedback reaches the teams working on improving the feature.

You need to set up your queue before you cast @Jens684 queuing once casting hasn't been developed yet.

Thank you both for your honest feedback and support!

Please fix these issues.

They can’t. Or at least they failed to fix them for over 5 years now or so, so I won’t expect this to be fixed in the next 5 years.

Just switched to Deezer yesterday and encountered this problem too. Using a Pixel 3 on Android 11 and casting to a pair of Nest Audio speakers. There are so many issues that pop up when doing so: Play Next and Add to Queue are gone. The widget disappears from my homescreen and it’s gone from the drawer. 

Please fix these issues.

Apologies for your experience @MrHaroldA @Isaac McNaughton add the moment we're unable to prioritise this just because we're working on other major projects which may as well affect you positively!

The only way is to add to the queue before you cast, as the queue list will be saved. Once more, sorry for this and thank you for your support :pray_tone2:

I'm in the same situation as others on this post, just trialling out Deezer to move away from Spotify but this is a deal breaker.  Otherwise was looking good

We have a family subscription, so I can’t switch unless everybody agrees.

I guess I’m stuck here :(

In another thread, @Rudi told us that the Chromecast support will remain broken until further notice and that they apparently lack the skills to fix this within 3 or 4 years as this issue was raised over 2 ears ago.

Sure thing @Ich Nicht 

I'll pass your comment on :wink:

I hope you get the integration working soon because I agree with  the many  others who say „insert to queue“ and „play next“ are key features that should be available on all devices. I‘m nearly craving for those features coming to the streaming chromecast possibility ;)

It is indeed @kmokma we've planned improvements for the integration this year. Please stay tuned to the community for updates and in the meantime, thank you for registering your support :relaxed:

I also would like this feature to be added. The lacking functionality when casting to a chromecast device is very disappointing.

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:

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:

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 @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:

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

Hi there @Ervison Lima 

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

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.

Hello @Rudi,

Is there any expected date to launching this feature? 

 

Thanks
