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 😉

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 :(

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:

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.

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.

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!

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.

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:

Agree with this. Pretty crucial functionality to not have.
