Chromecast connection Iphone

HI @Diego Re Could you first of all try to delete and reinstall the app?
Also, I assume your connection is good enough for casting? (both devices have to be connected to the same wifi)
Could you also tell me more about the device you're using? Model, OS installed, Deezer version installed, etc 🙂

I use ChromeCast to send music to my stereo. Sometimes just the ChromeCast Audio in the living room, and sometimes a group of multiple ChromeCast receivers in multiple rooms.
I normally play from my iPhone or a wall-mounted iPad in the kitchen.
I just bought Deezer HiFi expecting to be able to change from Tidal, but i am having crazy problems with ChromeCast stability.

In the Deezer IOS app, i will start music. A short while later the app loses connection to the music stream.
My playlist is playing, but the app info is not updating and the buttons have no effect. I can go ahead and unload the app, since it has no function.
If i change my mind, i have to use Google Home app to kill the Cast. Then go back into Deezer to start a new one. If i screw around with it too much, i will also experience the Deezer app just crashing and disappearing from screen.
Friday evening, with friends over that changes music constantly, it is impossible to use Deezer.

ChromeCast is rocksteady on my network with several other radio streaming og music streaming apps, including Tidal HiFi.
I installed Deezer on an extra iPad, just to make sure the problem was not on my other gear. Same problem right away.

What's up with the bad ChromeCast implementation? Is this a problem being worked on? Will we see a fix soon? Or do i go back to Tidal?
Great audio, but if i cannot get the sound from my phone to my speakers, then what's the point? This is a dealbreaker...

Connected my stereo to new Chromecast. Using iPhone 7 to stream Deezer and controls become unresponsive. I even turned my phone off completely and it still steamed to Chromecast! Turned on phone and still no control until I unplugged Chromecast. Seems there are many complaints about Deezer and Chromecast. What does it take to get this fixed?

Hi @Joshua.Saul, is both devices connected to the same wifi?

Hi @ntorlund , are all devices connected to the same wifi?

Hi Rafael,
Thank you for responding.
Yes, all devices are connected to the same WiFi. Otherwise i could not address the speaker and get the cast going.
The error is purely in Deezer, as i have no problems casting from other apps, and i have the bandwidth to cast HD video flawlessly.
Also, as i wrote, i have tried installing Deezer IOS app on another device to make sure it's not just the client on my phone. Unfortunately with same result.
This is definately not a wifi error or an iphone error. This is an app error.

Yes Diego explained it perfectly. That is what is happening. But mine even kept streaming after the app was closed, phone was turned off and back on with no access to control (play/pause/skip track). Once I re-started Chromecast in the app I got control briefly and then it stopped. It seemed to happen after the end of the first song I play once casting.

Hi Joshua.Saul
Are you aware that Chromecast is designed, so the Chromecast unit is the player, and your phone is just a remote? The fact that the music plays on with your phone turned off is a feature, not a flaw.
However, your phone app that is essentially a remote, should not loose control of the stream. THAT is the flaw.

Yes I get that it is designed to run in the background which is great. And yes not having the ability to control the app once it starts casting is the problem. I bought the Chromecast Audio specifically for this reason and now its a bust with Deezer. Hoping this is resolved quickly.

Yes, we've already passed this on to the tech team and they are working on a better solution for Chromecast. I don't have any details as of yet, but will hopefully soon be able to give you an update 🙂
