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

Sonos?

Sorry @Jannick Verstraete not yet too… 😕

Yes!  Been waiting for this!  Hopefully this means support from BlueSound for their nodes soon?  I would love to switch back to Deezer from Tidal, but really like the Connect feature for my BlueSound Node.

I was really excited to see this announced… Then realized it isn’t anything remotely close to Spotify Connect. You can’t control playback on Sonos, HomePods or Google Nest Speakers. So it’s basically a remote to control another phone or what’s playing on your computer (In theory). Only it eats battery like crazy on the device you activate it from and so far doesn't work when trying to control the Deezer app on my iMac or MacBook Air. So far all I can do with this is control my android phone with my iPhone but not vice versa. It worked a time or two with the AppleWatch app but then stopped so it’s not reliable. What an underwhelming release...

One more annoyance. If you have music playing (iOS or Android) and are Casting or Air Playing that music to a speaker (doesn’t matter what type), tapping on Deezer Connect instantly disconnects ChromeCast or Airplay. So far this feels like it shouldn’t even be in beta testing yet and you just pushed the release to let the masses do all the work and troubleshooting. Going back to Spotify is starting to seem like the path I’ll take very soon. 

Can’t see the point of this. Saw it was called “connect” and thought “aha - they’ve provided functionality like Spotify connect” - but actually they haven’t. I can’t see what benefit it is to me at all.

I have a Pioneer streamer which has native Deezer connectivity, but I still can’t use the app on my phone to hand off to my streamer, or even control it in any way - pointless, unless I’m missing something? 

Deezer Connect:

Does not "see" any volumio RPI devices.

or miniDSP streamer

or BlueOS Node

or Peachtree streamer.

For five years, the Deezer community has been asking for a Spotify Connect feature, and this is what they get???

Ridiculous hype for absolutely nothing. 

Hey, the feature is not working :(

I have version 7.0.17.42 on my android phone, and the same version on Amazon Fire TV 4k stick.

I want to control music played on the TV from my android phone, but deezer connect on android does not find any device. Both devices are connected to the same WIFI network.

How to fix?

Nothing is broken, nothing to fix. Deezer Connect simply does not connect to anything usefull. (But they are working on it, LOL)
