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!

Hi there @semektet 

Thanks for the screenshot and getting in touch with us.

Could you please confirm your settings as the screenshot I posted above - if it's the same, please let me know which app version you've got so that I can pass that info to our devs :thumbsup_tone2:

Perfect @semektet 
Forwarded all comments and screenshots to our devs. Just to confirm, do you have iOS 14 installed? And Chromecast, is the device built-in or is it a Chromecast Audio?

Will get back to you once I've got more info :thumbsup_tone2:

@Rudi Thanks for your response and the clarification. However I will kindly request your developers to find a way to “re-invite” that HiFi logo back to ios screen. Unless that happens, i am sure you will keep receiving such questions and comments in the future.

 

Best

Very fair point @semektet!

I agree with you because I've seen numerous reports here in the community about this since the beginning of the year. It wasn't clear for our team until recently, thanks to this thread and revival of interest.

I've already passed the feedback about being confusing! The trick is that it had TV in mind when developed, that's why.

Thank you for being such a great contributor!
