Hi there @vrbanekbranko 

Thanks for reaching out. We will have an update on the TV app but because of our recent experience, this will take quite some time to be developed. I'm unable to guarantee you a date, but we expect to hear more about this by the end of the year :v_tone2:

Hello @Artem Repko 

About LG, the app it's still in certification, so we would need to wait a little bit longer.

We have requested an ETA to our developers, so once they let us know, we will share the information with you.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Enjoy Deezer!! :bulb:

 any news on this topic, please?

that’s the only way I can listen to music in my living room, and the app very outdated...

yep using the LG TV app now (released Apr 29, 2022), but the player is not showing HIFI. Checked settings in app and only option is to logoff. Is it already playing HIFI? and if not how to do it? Help Admin

So I just signed up coming from Spotify. Imagine my disappointment with the infinite loading screen on my 2021 LG TV and finding issues only within hours of my subscription.

From the messages on this community it seems like Deezer has been at it with LG for nearly a year now. Indeed I don’t understand that “it’s with LG” because the Spotify app has been updated multiple times within the past few months. So what’s the hold-up?

We're still on the same journey @Ender1988 not fully developed yet, but I'll be updating the community once we get news about it :thumbsup_tone2:

Any update here? Timeline?
 

I mean come on the last update is from 2016...🥴

Hey there! 

I talked to our developers and they said they are working to have the sound quality displayed soon! 

Anyways, if your have Hifi in your offer, then the music is played in Flac quality, even if it does not say 😉

Ill take your word for it i guess, but pls update that soon. Also display the album in the now playing screen.

Let’s establish today a new holiday! Thank you!

Well, the LG update is here and, tbh, maybe it would be better if it was not rolled out.

I had to major issues with the old one:

  1. Favourite list was not possible to see in full - only 10 or so songs were there without possibility to “see more”.
  2. Search was slow and the letters were in line - no keyboard - so using magic remote was awkward, especially since you couldn’t press another letter until the app found predicted result.

New app solved the first issue. Search is somewhat improved  as you don’t have to wait for predictions before typing another letter, but the awkward “keyboard” was retained. I find this to be much better in Spotify app as it uses a normal qwerty keyboard on screen.

However, new app is much worse.

  1. Artist discography is all mixed up and when you open it, regular albums are mixed with compilations and singles/EPs. This is annoying especially for those artists who have an extensive back catalogue. Possibility to sort A-Z or by the release date doesn’t help much since most of the release dates are not correct - presented are Deezer release dates, not true album release dates.
  2. A widget showing what’s playing is visible only on the home screen, so you have to go back from the album/playlist screen to see it. Old app had a possibility to see the menu on the top of the screen so you could browse between views much more quickly. It’s also annoying that whenever you exit playlist screen and come back, it always moves you back to top and that was something which made me stop using the app on my Onkyo receiver.
  3. Most importantly, possibility to “add to the queue/playlist” or “listen next” is removed. This was the best feature in the old app and it’s really a deal breaker. To be honest, if I could (or know how to) move my music to Spotify app i would do it in an instant and cancel Deezer.

As per the HiFi...I have a “Premium” subscription via Croatian Telecom as a partner. I had some issues with my subscription 2 years ago when I wanted to switch to direct Deezer subscription, but it was for some reason not possible (don’t get me started on that:-)) and I really wanted to have a HiFi one. However, some days prior to upgrade, I noticed that my account on LG TV was shown as “HiFi”. This is possibly due to my switch to another provider’s optical network and connecting my TV via LAN cable. As I installed the new app TV shows my regular “Premium” subscription. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to really test the quality or the difference thereof. Bottom line - strange things happened.

The app works on my 2021 LG TV all of the sudden. I believe the app version is still from 2016, but it works...

Yes @Ender1988 we've had some problems along the way. Thank you and @vrbanekbranko for the feedback.

We'll be focusing on getting our connectivity sorted in 2021, so I ask you to please stay tuned and continue to supporting Deezer - you won't regret it! :relaxed:
