Let’s take control of your sound with Deezer Connect!

Maybe app need some permission what older Android don't give even manually given. Sorry My english but I try to controll deecer from Android phone to windows desktop app and webplayer and both of them don't work.

Meanwhile I realized that my Onkyo AV receicer have Deezer feature, so I can control Onkyo controller app Deezer in Amplifier and actually don't need this crappy "connect" feature anymore.

This work perfectly for me and for those who needed "connect" feature I hope fixes soon by The company. Sorry my not so good english.

Now that I finally have remote control working nicely, I have a question.

Is there any particular reason why I can’t control my mobile device from my laptop?  It seems to me it would be a heck of a lot simpler if, from any device I have Deezer running on, that I could:

• control what’s playing; or
• take control

At the moment only Android and iOS devices can be used as controlling unit. Webplayer and desktop client only can be used as the controlled device. Imho it would be much more development work also to do this vice versa.

I read this whole thread. What a mess.

Thanks to guys like @soakes and  @albesco0 who stayed engaged.

Poor @Superschlumpf . All he has is an iPhone, so can't check Android. So reverts to "uninstall / reinstall" without a clue of the root cause bug. 

And no one has direct connection with the developers, who probably are oblivious. 

I happen to like Deezer and will continue to use it. But this was poorly launched and managed.

Thanks for your observation.  I have noticed similar themes in other threads.

On this topic I also launched a support request, which didn’t result in much that was any more satisfying than this thread.  The last I heard was that they acknowledged there was a problem.  N ow it has been (mostly) fixed I haven’t heard back!

@Captain_Eric1, I’m checking with our developers the cases mentioned here and I will return as soon as I got an answer to it. 🕵🏼

Take care.

Looking forward to using this feature when it works with my stuff!

I don’t yet see this feature in the simple api. I’d love to use my phone to control playback on my media center (ticket not mine).

Will there be Connect integration with Hifi streamers like Bluesound, Wiim, Cambridge, or Naim etc have? This would put Deezer on par with Tidal and Spotify. 

I can't find ‘Deezer Connect’ on my phone. How do I connect my android device and windows computer?

If both devices are online and logged in to the same account, you can use the android device to control the computer. 
Use the speaker symbol at the bottom left of playback screen in the android app. It shows the options for audio output. 
There you will also find deezer connect.
