Hi @HDGuy , thank you for raising again this point again.
Indeed, having HiFi on our native TV app would be fantastic. However, it's still not part of our current plans.
Although it may not be the same experience, you can stream in HiFi quality to your TV using the Chromecast feature.

Hi there @Sic_zs 

Thank you for reporting your experience to us and for your patience.

How have you established that it isn't playing in FLAC quality? I say this because of our new integration, which added the lyrics feature, streams in HiFi if the device is compatible, including Android TVs. But either way, I'm keen to look into this further and report to our devs. Please give us more details so that we can try and move forward with this :thumbsup_tone2:

Would also like a way to know if the android tv versions is actually streaming hifi audio (dont see hifi marker or gold color on the track progression bar). Deciding between premium and hifi for my account and my good speakers are what I run android tv with. If android tv does not get hifi then there is no point in me having a hifi account. Hope you support/add hifi indicators soon to android tv.

Hi sorry for the moment AndroidTV do not support Hifi, you can see which devices support it here: https://www.deezer.com/en/devices/tv

Nevermind- I thought there was finally an Android TV update, but all that was updated was the Play Store webpage.

Hello @HDGuy thanks for bringing this up again.

Deezer must be def to not see why missing HiFi on android tv/google tv is a big deal. Why would users want to pull out another device just to stream to their current device which should have HiFi support… that’s such an anti-user way of thinking. It’s been years, get with it and update/modernize your apps. You will lose users and you will never get potential users that use one of the biggest streaming ecosystems. Users want Hifi but are forced to look elsewhere...
