Music stops after a one or few songs

When playing a playlist or an album I would expect the next song to automatically start after the current song ends.
The current behavior, however, stops the playback after one, or just a few songs. When this happens I cannot manually switch to a new song, all play/pause buttons control the song that just ended. So until I reload the page all I can do is listen to the same song over and over.

This might be the repeat of:

Debug info:
Using Google Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 on Debian-based Linux with kernel 4.18.10

Hi there @maks.kolman

We'll keep an eye on this to see if it's a repeat of the previous issue you mentioned. I haven't seen anyone else reporting this issue in our community recently, especially using Linux.
You could try to clean the browser cache to see if it helps. It could also be that something in your computer is preventing the app to work as it should be, like an antivirus or energy saving settings, for example.
It's important to note that Linux isn't officially supported by Deezer.

I just experienced the same symptoms in Linux using Chromium: only 1 song plays and at the end of that song the next button does no longer work, the play button restarts the last song and clicking on any other playlist or song indeed changes the title of the played song in the track-container (bottom of page) and in the window title bar, but without changing the actually played song. 

The solution for me was to restart the browser, re-open the Deezer web page and accept the cookies. Rejecting the cookies seems to cause the described behaviour, and I guess this is what I had done earlier.  

Forget about my solution. Sometimes restarting and refusing the cookies also works. And sometimes restarting while accepting cookies does not help. And both with and without cookies the playlist blocks. So it’s not cookies related or at least not strictly.

Hmm … it might have been a Chromium version issue after all. Now I’m on 100.0.4896.75, which installed on April 7th, and it works. Three days ago, at the time of my higher comment, 100.0.4896.60 was still installed. And Deezer seemed to get stuck on a call to https://ww400.smartadserver.com/400/call. So, maybe it was something add-related linked to the Chromium version installed. Firefox works and, 3 days ago, worked fine.

I’m experiencing the same issue on Windows 11. And I saw somebody mentioning it only happens when using bluetooth speaker, which sounded like it couldn’t be related. 

 

However, funnily enough, I can reproduce it with 100% accuracy:

  • With bluetooth headphones the next song will play for a portion of a second and stop
  • Without bluetooth headphones the next song will play normally 

So there is definitely something related to remote headphones.

I’m getting this when using the Android app with a bluetooth (non-smart) speaker.  A song will play, then the app plays the next song but there’s no audio, then the third song plays with audio through the speaker.  Weird.

If, as a song is “playing” without audio, I stop and start the track, the audio starts playing through the bluetooth speaker like it should. Again… weird.

If I stream Deezer to my Google Nest mini, the music plays normally. Weird.

I've got the same problem. This happens once in a while. Like today. I put a playlist on, (on shuffle) and right after the first song ends, it doesn't play the next song. Really annoying.

I tried re-opening the app, or the playlist. But nothing seems to work
