Try our remote control and let us know how it works!

You've asked for this feature and since then, the wait has been a long journey. Our community pet peeve for a while, starts to get shape in our platform… :iphone:

Welcome to our remote control feature! :boom:

It's a great privilege for me to announce our initial test launch, for iOS users who are on the beta version of the app :minidisc:

You can now use your iPhone (or iPad) to control our desktop app, the Deezer web app, another iPhone or iPad.

 

How to access the remote control feature? :telephone_receiver:

You'll need to have the beta version of the Deezer app on iOS: 

  • Open app > Settings > Deezer Labs
  • Activate Remote Control 
  • Choose your track and click on the “Audio output” icon 
  • Select the device you want to control

Testing with iPhone controlling Windows PC

Got an issue where whatever track I select, it will play the track 2 places up in my playlist.

Just connected my iPhone to control remotely my iPad (which is via usb connected to my amplifier’s dac)

So far so good! Seems to work fine

Hi everyone, 

Thank yo again for all the valuable feedback, it helps us a lot and boost our motivation! :grinning::muscle_tone2:

To update you we made some improvements on the connection side, hopefully you should experience less disconnection or non detection issues. If you still do please let us know!

And also yes, we are working on the Android version! the feature won’t be officially released without it. I am an Android user myself! :)

Do you roughly know how long this will take?

I am an android user, working with bluesound node 2i, 

waiting like 2 years for this function!

I find the BluOs pretty limited and I am really waiting for this "connect" feature.

I really like deezer but, if spotify hi-fi will come to my region before, I will have to switch back to spotify, they have this feature for android for years now.

Hope deezer developers work fast.

I’ve been using it on the macOS app and safari web version, it’s a good first start but it’s choppy.

  1. Anytime you go to another song, the other device pops up with ‘resume’ thinking you’re trying to listen on 2 devices
  2. Songs regularly re-start
  3. Music sometimes will play briefly on my phone before re-starting back on my Mac etc
  4. If you’re playing a song on the desktop, the phone will show it but shows the wrong play state (ie: shows play button indicating its not playing) and the seek bar doesn’t move. If you then hit ‘play’ on your phone (to pause the Mac), it starts playing on your phone.

I have the Beta app installed on both my older and new iPhones, how do I now get the devices to see each other in this application? I have enabled the feature in the “Deezer Labs” tab in both devices, but I cannot see how to go further….help?
