Chromecast not playing uploaded MP3s on Deezer
Best answer by Superschlumpf
Hi,
i‘m not sure if it‘s a legal restriction or a technical one preventing to cast uploaded mp3s.
First i also thougt it‘s a problem of licences and the reason because casting uploads on other services is possible, because they have a matching function for uploads, so that in the end it‘s not an uploaded file but a matched original server file that is used for casting. And for this file there is a licence. Apple and Google are using such an upload matching and as far as i know Deezer does not use matching.
But i testet on Googles YouTube Music with some personal uploaded files of mine that are not available on Googles catalogue. These files can‘t be found by matching and have been physicaly uploaded. So Google has no licences for these songs if they are‘t in their catalogue.
But also these files can be played by casting without any problem.
This as a fact imho it only can be a technical Problem and not a legal one.

Hi Flo,
It's not playing from both Android and browser when streaming through Chromecast. Everything else is okay, except for the current known issues, e.g. 30sec play on some tracks.
+1I tried to reupload one particular album, but no luck. Btw, I have more than a thousand tracks, so please do not expect me to reupload all of them.
As mentioned before, it was working previously, and now they do not play in Chromecast. I can only play them on the desktop and Android apps without casting.

Android phone is Sony Xperia XZ, using latest Deezer app version.
No error message, the Deezer app in Chromecast just says Loading... and then stops.

Hi there, have you tried our Android troubleshooting? 🙂 https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/android-issues-symptoms-and-answers-120
My mp3s stopped being played on Chromecast (from Android and Desktop), it was fine ca. 3-4 weeks ago. It just jumps to the next song.
In Android app it even removes the songs from playlists (or "hides" them, cause in desktop they are still there).
Chromecast firmware 1.32.124741
Mac 10.12.6
Chrome 70.0.3538.77
Android 7.0 - Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
Deezer 6.0.2.89

+7Have you tried reinstalling the app and uploading them again to see if it helps?

Using android 7.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo. I just updated to latest deezer's version (6.1.7.111) after seeing this issue and still not working. Same issue that benedikt.winder has. Skips all the songs on cast but when playing directly on jack no problem.
I also have the latest version of ChromeCast 1.40.156414.
I'll try reloading the files.. but they were added 2 days ago... It's not very convenient if I have too reload songs every time I want to cast.
Similar issue here but with Google Home Hub rather than Chromecast (same process really though). Uploaded songs don't cast and in some cases disappear from the playlist entirely. Looks like this issue has been going gor over a year now without resolution.
+3Hi
This really sucks. The reason why I want to cast to my Google/Nest Mini and Google/Nest Hub (I set up a speaker group) is because they produce better sound than my laptop/Android speakers.
Deezer casts as well as Google Play Music, both of which are way better than YouTube Music. My tracks are not high res.
If it is my mp3, what licencing restriction is there, I made it, I own it.
IMHO this is just Deezer trying to push its content on us.
I think I am going to ditch Google and Deezer because it doesn’t work for me, the moment I can find something that does.
+7Hi
The song needs to be on the Deezer in order to Cast it… If you upload an MP3 you’ll be able to play in in your phone or computer only.
Thanks
+7Thanks for coming back
Ok, the feature doesn't support MP3s yet as it doesn't support all of the Deezer app features - there's no specific decision to omit MP3 from casting.
And it isn't about pushing our content, Bruce, we're a streaming service, not an MP3 player. This is an extra for our users to have their own catalogue if we haven't added the content they want yet.
In any case, stay tuned to our community for updates, we hope to boost our casting options this year and your feedback is essential - in the meantime, Happy New Year!
