Shuffle mode not working on chromecast integration with Deezer

Hello

I'd like to ask, why the shuffle button disappears when I play music by Chromecast. Overall, Chromecast music playback works very poorly. Disconnections are common.

When I play on headphones or Bluetooth it’s fine.

Thanks

Hey @Łukasz.S 

At this very moment, we're unable to shuffle while casting via Chromecast. You'll have to set up a specific order before casting so that the player can follow it.

But don't worry, we're planning to develop shuffle to Chromecast at some point in the near future. In the meantime, Happy New Year!

It's 3 years later. Is there any updates. I like Deezer a lot but this is the one thing that keeps me going to other services.

Same here. Deezer is quite good for personal use, but as soon as you have guests you need to use something else.

“Stream across all your devices” is something the marketing department uses, but that is a blatant lie. “Stream across all your devices with crippled features” would be a better slogan.

Yeah, it’s been years, how is it still an issue?!

Sheer incompetence, or they just don’t care. 😔

We haven't added this to our plans yet, @Psydoc but it's on the radar, thank you for your support!

@Rudi can you give us the ETA? Adding songs to the queue when casting on a party is a quite reasonable request, I’d guess?

No ETA yet as far as I am concerned.

Ok, and is that due to not caring, or incompetence?

This is such a basic feature ... I can’t possibly explain to my guests that I use a streaming service which does not support it.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve been looking for a European alternative to Apple Music or Tidal but Deezer has just been such an awful experience. How is this platform almost 20 years old but missing basic features like this?

I can forgive so many annoyances with the desktop/mobile app but missing a queue functionality when casting to my streamer amp is a dealbreaker. 

back to Tidal it is then.

You are absolutely right. We have a family account, so I can't leave that easily.

Somehow I still have faith they will implement the most basic stuff, bu i have been waiting for years and years now.

In the near future, but that was 4 years ago. Is there any news / progress?
