Deezer and Chromecast Audio problems

Pessima interazione con Chrome cast audio. Mancate partenze delle tracce e blocchi continui. Sono appena tornato a Deezer HiFi ma al termine del mese dovrò disdire. Peccato...

Hi there @Giac 

Sorry for my reply in English - Italian isn't supported in our community at the moment. Thank you for your honest feedback. Like I've mentioned above, we're working on bringing a new integration, which will hopefully solve many problems :wink:

Chromecast audio issues on Android.. the audio drops every 4 to sec...shame on Deezer..I subscribed in HIFI plan but with no use..I cannot listen to chromecast 16 bit flac songs..unfortunately....shame on you

Peccato Rudy, la qualità sonora anche e soprattutto su Chromecast è ottima anche col solo Premium e surclassa i concorrenti. Utilizzerò l'account Premium di mia moglie che volevo sostituire col mio HIFI. Ma così è insostenibile....

My hifi-sub is useless since i cant use it with my stereo with cca. How long will we have to wait, a sollution has been on its way for a year now...? Btw, thanks for at least trying to give som info Rudi, appreciate it!

Hi there@Greenmusik @Giac @Rogernehme 

I hope to bring more news by the end of this year, along with more exciting features. Our new Chromecast integration should follow a new Google protocol and this should improve the whole integration much more 

Hi @Rudi, any news on the chromecast improvements in the app? The last Deezer version doesn’t solve the problem the app loses the connection with the chromecast audio after a short while or after switching apps. Chromecast keeps playing the selected list but the app can’t control the list without re-connecting manually in the app. Strange: the Google Home app does keep control of the deezer-connection…

Hi there @Robert Van de Wiel 

Thanks for reaching out. We're aware of that connection issue.

Well, we haven't been given a specific date yet but some mechanisms were already introduced to our Beta apps - so the team hasn't stopped working on it. We're expecting more updates about this before the end of December - very exciting times for us, as we expect the new integration to offer more and be much more stable. Thank you for your support and for your patience :thumbsup_tone2:

Tic toc, tic toc...

Good to hear, i really Hope this will Work soon. I want to get rid of the crappy, never working Bluetooth Connection to my Hifi. All other Chromecast Apps i am using currently Work Well. Other Audio Apps Had Problems in the past AS Well, seems to be tricky to implement.. good luck.

Thanks for sharing it @petje glad to hear that you found a way to work with it in the meantime 

@Rudi  Any news?      I tried Deezer again today - didn’t get more than 5 minutes of music through a chromecast audio before it stopped - switched to the Google home integration which worked briefly until I tried to skip a song and then it stopped and did nothing. I gave up.

I’ve cancelled Tidal (no Google Integration), cancelled Spotify (awful chromecast integration, stupid design choices)  so it’s between Deezer and YT Music if Deezer can sort out casting.    YT Music is well behind Deezer in so many ways, but at least the cast integration and Google home integration works *all* the time.

We're still waiting for updates from our team @Andrew.Chick. But I know we've done substantial work on this already, and that's why we're using Google's new protocol - so that we can be ahead of the competition on this 

Thank you for your support and for your patience!

I've just upgraded my account to HiFi tier and it was a big mistake. I stream music via Chromecast Audio to speakers and it's main  and the most important function for me. Unfortunately this function is completely useless in Dezeer. I see info "loading" very often, it's impossible to listen music. I'm very disappointed. I had Tidal HiFi earlier and there is no comparison to it. I like layout of Dezeer but if you don't fix the problem I have to return to Tidal. Interestingly, this problem doesn't  occur so often at HQ tier. 

Hi @Rudi . Any news on your end, passing the end of december? 

Hi there @jaxa 

Sorry you're disappointed. But we're working on this, rest assured.

Same here @Robert Van de Wiel it's been over 9 months now, and more and more mechanisms have been added to our latest releases of the mobile app. We should expect more news in the next couple of months - I'll keep our community informed 

Rudi, thanks for info. I like your stuff, but with problems using it via Chromecast Audio it's useless now for me. I'll be waiting for fix it. Keep your work and give an info when it will be ready for use.

100%, @jaxa. It's been over 9 months of development so far, I think we're getting closer 

Hej wszystkim, posiadam receptor denon avr x 2600 I chcę poprzez to urządzenie odtwarzac pliki muzyczne z deezer ale nie poprzez połączenie telefonu bluetooth tylko poprzez sieć ale jakoś nie potrafie tego dokonać, zna może ktoś jakiś sposób.

Z góry dziękuję. Rafał 

Hi, the Chromecast connection is still being fixed and updated to a new version, but not released yet. Maybe your Denon AVR is able to use Chromecast instead of a Bluetooth connection?

@Rudi Deezer & you are full censored. All hifi subscribers not using Sonos shold be compensated for the time that CCA implementation hasen't worked. HIFI subscription is useless without cast functionality.
