Chromecast connection Iphone

Good day, I used to play Deezer through Chromecast audio perfectly on my old Samsung, since 3 month I switch to Iphone 8 and even if I’m still able to play music through Chromecast, it doesn’t work good as before: problem is when display switch off and music keep playing, as son as the next song play (s.a. from a play list) iphone stop to follow the playlist, actually the music keep to play smoothly but when I switch on the display, deezer keep showing the last track was playing before to switch off the display, it’s like deezer is not able to follow the running tracks when iphone is on standby mode. Even worst if I run the music flow based on my favourite songs, it’s happen that Deezer doesn’t update the flow and the last song keep repeating forever. To get the control of the trucks again, I have to close Deezer app and open it again, than play any track, automatically is going to recognise the track playing in that moment through Chromecast, than I can control it again so far the Iphone is “active”. Not sure if problem is from Deezer or Iphone but I would like to address the problem to you hoping on a solution.
Thank you
Diego

    Hi there, we are working on it, but I don't have any details just yet. Sorry about that. We will let everyone know, as soon as we hear anything from our team.

    Same issue. Connection times out after 1 or 2 songs and then I need to shut down the deezer application on iOS. Then open Deezer again, click on the chromecast icon and connect and I can control the music again. But it will timeout again after a few minutes. So if you want to control Deezer with your iOs device you have to keep shutting down the deezer application and re-starting it and reconnect to the chromecast.

    One year has passed - I’m still having this problems. Anything news?

    It’s not necessary to restart the app - just type “Stop cast” - and cast again. But the music turns off and you will hear a new song. Not good …

    Hope you’ll fix it soon.

    Hi there @Jonas Bøge 

    We're still working on developing our new integration - we're close. Some of the necessary parameters have already been added to the app. More updates to follow in January - thank you for your patience and support :thumbsup_tone2:

    over one year has passed, I have the same issue.

    I’ve cancelled my subscription for this very reason.

    I will happily restart my subscription if it is resolved.

    I stream my deezer audio via airplay streaming. I get connection interrupt  with any phone call or app switch. Can I fix this problem with chromecast device which is connected to my tv or av reciever and chromecast iphone streaming. I dont want my iphone call interrupt my connection .  Basically I want to use chromecast deezer app like standalone player once i started streaming from my iphone and follows my play list for next song.

    I have the same problem with Chromecast on my iPhone.

    It doesn’t matter whether I am casting from Deezer or any other app. This is a problem with the Chromecast functionality on the iPhone.

    I had an old Android phone lying around and now I just cast from that device. It’s not the best solution.
