Chromecast and Android: No 'play next' or 'add to queue'

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 😉

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:

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

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 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 ;)

Sure thing @Ich Nicht

I'll pass your comment on :wink:

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.
