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 honestly thought the app was bugging when I didn't see these two options in the menu.

I've found CC support to be lacklustre in certain other competitors but this a new low.

This really is a dealbreaker when having friends over and listening to music on Chromecast. Will be moving over to Spotify sadly who support Chromecast properly.

I understand it has been a while and frustrating at the same time.
I’ve ask our devs for any update and will get back to you soon.
 

@Jaime. or @Rudi , can you please give us an update when these basic functions will be added? Tnx!

Hey there, I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this feature is not going to be implemented for now.

I think this is more a fix than a feature. We should have the same experience regardless we are using Bluetooth, Chromecast, AirPlay or not.

This was one of the things I left Deezer for

...
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.

You’re not far off when you said it won’t be fixed in  next 5 years . 
 

Still waiting and still can’t move to deezer until this is sorted.  Know it’s not much and no one at deezer will care as I’d only be one subscriber but it’s about 4 years of family plan payment they’ve missed out on from me

I wanted to use Deezer as a Spotify replacement. Even informed my friend that we switch the Spotify Duo account to Deezer, because I liked Deezer after some testing.

 

Now I must notice that a important and basic feature like the queue does not work properly. When I cast music to a device there is simply no "add to queue".

 

That a basic feature as this is missing is weird. But I see in the "Deezer lab" new features like "adjustable playback speed" is hot. That is frankly said, embarrassing for whoever is responsible. Basic features missing, but niche features get development time.

 

So the search for a Spotify alternative continues
