No HiFi label in Android TV


Harmonie

As a HiFi user I'm not seeing the HiFi emblem at the bottom left when playing music in Android TV. 

The HiFi emblem that appears on the cover of all tracks with my Android phone, doesn't appear on my Android TV. Why is that? 

 

 

In my phone the HiFi emblem shows:

Hi @Harmonie 

According to the overview of compatible devices, no HiFi symbol can be seen because there is no HiFi support for Android TV yet. :smirk:

 

HiFi works with Chromecast, for example:

I would like this too. Because of other bugs in the Deezer app that break my ability to carry to a Chromecast audio or to my TV, I am forced to use my android tv app to listen to music.

FYI - I’ve been using the Deezer app on my LG TV for at least 2 years (with a HiFI subscription) and they have done nothing the resolve this issue. I’m not posting this to be negative, just to manage your expectations that this is a known problem that they have done nothing to resolve. I struggle to see how they are able to deliver the required bit rate through a local cast (such as a Google Chromecast dongle) using your local WiFi, but cant do it with a native TV app.

@Harmonie @KM1 @delivix 

As far as I know, the developers have HiFi compatibility for Smart TV at the top of the list.
Android TV is on it and also LG. :slight_smile:

I hope @Rudi doesn't hit me now...
Unfortunately, a start date cannot be given at the moment.

You're absolutely right @dee_dirk 

@delivix @KM1 adding HiFi support to our new smart TV apps is on our plans. Once we have more info, you'll know it! :relaxed:

Bumping as it’s been 10 months! 😭

 

I hope that Hi-Fi quality can be added soon to the smart TV app! It seems a real shame not to be able to use the Deezer television app for HQ listening at home (without a complicated potential setup involving streaming/airplay), especially as the main reason I am with Deezer is that they have better kbps (and better prices for Hi-Fi quality) than their competitors.

 

(I have a high-end soundbar linked to my TV which I’d love to use more for music/parties - but at the moment, when I’m on on own, I sometimes just end up listening to my iPhone+headphones as the sound is better, or YouTube for parties as the audio seems not much different to 320kbps Deezer and you get video too.) :/

@NiGHTSfan 

There are Deezer TV apps for several platforms and only the latest versions are fully supported. And not all of them offer the same options. 
So the most important information we need is:

What kind of TV exactly are you using and what‘s the year it was released?

I looked up the model number and got this: 

49" Samsung QE49Q7CAM Curved 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart QLED TV

I think it's from 2019. But I've not heard of any Deezer smart TV app offering hifi quality yet - unless it's been adopted?! :)

No, for the moment there is no HiFi support on Deezer TV apps. 
I just tried to explain that for TVs there is no „please do it for TV“ option, because of the many different OS versions. So IF it will be released in future it only will be available on newest models. But for this becoming real imho the Hardware used for TVs has to get much more performance. Often their possibilitys are limited by weak hardware.

We know chromcast works but it isn’t always smooth. On the app it would be much better. Any news on that?

Hello @Gover could you tell us more about your experience on Chromecast. How can we help?

Is your Chromecast built in or external ?
