Deezer HiFi icon disappears when I stream to Chromecast Audio

Hi ,

The HiFi icon is visible otherwise, but it disappears all of a sudden when I start casting to my chromecast audio.

Does this mean the audio isn't HiFi anymore while casting?

I'm on deezer beta btw

    Hey @semektet 

    So I've got a reply from our developers. It's normal and intended behaviour. Once you start casting, the logo "leaves" the app and shows up on the album cover in your TV, for example. Because your device isn't a TV, you don't see that. But your actually still streaming FLAC :relaxed: thank you for your patience and for your understanding!

    Why not ask your developers to keep the HI-FI icon displayed on the phone while streaming to Chromecast audio?

    I'm a developer, I know it's from a simplicityine child.

    If you don't, everyone will always have doubts,because since the time this topic has been discussed, the only reason that seems to justify you not displaying the icon is that you cannot legally afford it. …

    I offer you a very simple choice to reassure the whole world: display the icon on the control device (phone, tablet, etc.) while streaming to Chromecast audio.

    Cheers,

    Michael

    Deezer is not streaming flac data over chromecast audio.first i heard the tiny sound without body coming from tidal. Theb installed network data app on my android and started listening to music over my phone, not streamed, on data traffic im always reading 7-12mb/s data download, whatever the song i jump , initially i always see +5mb/s data but when i start streaming over Chromecast audio, i could never see mb/s transfer rates, its always around 300-400kb/s then drops to 10kb/s levels...this is mp3 guys not flac data.deezer is lossy on chromecast...unfortunately tidal is better option.

      Bonjour ,

      Je suis juste utilisateur mais je sais pourquoi vous voyez ces taux de transfert .

      La Chromecast (audio ou classique) prend le relais .

      Elle embarque l'application et c'est elle qui télécharge le flux et le diffuse.

      D'ailleurs, vous pouvez éteindre votre téléphone, vous verrez que la Chromecast continuera à diffuser .

      Bien cordialement,

      Michaël

        Explanation is also sounds logical to me that chromecast audio does dowloading within it self independant from mobile phone.it seems correct, when i close my wireless on the phone, album keeps playing, data transfer is done between router and chromecast, not from the phone.we need to check what the router transfers on that time.not the phone transfer.

        Yes. I checked my Chromecast-data traffic itself on my wifi and it gives me the similar results. Uses minimal data, doesn't seem to be FLAC ....  ??? (All my settings are in HiFi for sure)

        Did you check data between chromecast-phone or chromecast-router? You have to check router one.

        With the app I have I check the connection between Chromecast and Acces Point, so it's the same as Chromecast-Router.

        Explanation could be there's compression and de-compression going on? Is that possible with Flac?
