And canceled. I will be watching Deezer’s progress and hopefully one day I will come back. Best wishes to all the users. And hopefully the service gets better and some point. Cheers! Hi RavenOvNadir,Sorry to hear you have decided to leave Deezer. I just wondered what method you use to listen to Deezer as there is some ways that you can listen to music and it will play gapless. For example using the Webplayer on your PC/Laptop instead of the Deezer App also the Android App will play gapless.I have got to say that Deezer have drag their heels on this one and it’s no surprise that a lot of punters are leaving Deezer and trying out other streaming services.I wish you all the luck for the future and you find a streaming service that fulfills all your music listening expectations.Cheerscoypu
Hi @coypu, thank you so much for providing such detailed information about your experience with Deezer, especially regarding the issue with Logitech Media Server. It's great to see users like you actively troubleshooting and sharing their findings with the community. Thank you for your kind words Leonidia. It’s good to be a part of the Deezer community on this forum.This is the place where you can vent your frustrations and knowledge of all things to do with Deezer, I personally have learned many technical things and past on my experiences with using Deezer and associated software connected to Deezer. Cheerscoypu
On a serious note KDAM71…. Deezer has been dragging their heels for years on this subject. I have been on at Deezer for a couple of years to have gapless playback on all platforms. As you are already aware the webplayer and Android can now play gapless (that took years) but for some reason they have not implemented it on the desktop app which is APPALLING.I use picoreplayer with Logitech Media Server on a raspberry pi 5 and Deezer plays gapless, the one thing it can’t do is play the desktop app on the Chromium/Firefox browsers….it’s not compatible with the Linux OS.But that’s another subject.cheerscoypu
Deezer has already implemented Gapless playback on the webplayer and on Android quite a while ago. Try playing Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd…..plays gapless wonderfully. Cheers coypu I’m using the desktop app on windows. That still doesn’t playback gapless. Why not try the webplayer, there’s not much difference in the layout, although you may have the facility to download tracks using the app on windows etc…... you can’t do that on the webplayer, but I personally would rather have the ability to play gapless albums if they have been recorded that way. cheers coypu What is it to you which player I use? I’d like gapless playback on the desktop app. OK only saying……. don’t get your knickers in a twist! 😒

We have all been enjoying Deezer playing through Logitech Media Server for the last few days thanks to the GREAT efforts of Philippe_44 and Michael Herger from the Logitech Community. I must say that I had my doubts if this would ever happen but alas it has. I have noticed that updates to the new Deezer plugin are coming fast and furious, which means the team are developing the software as needs.I know Deezer would had to have cooperated with all this and contributed to the new LMS plugin and we all thank them, but I feel they should at least make an announcement using the UPDATES LINK at the top of this page to thank Philippe_44 and Michael Herger from the Logitech Communityd and to inform all the Deezer subscribers that use LMS to access their Deezer accounts that there is now a new plugin and to update their LMS software accordingly.All the info in how to update LMS for the new updated plugin has been kindly posted by Cedzerosept on this page.Cheerscoypu
Deezer now running smooth as it should with LMS after plugin upgrade to 2.3.2 yesterday.I have a raspberry pi 4 with 2GB memory and a HIFIBerry Digi + Pro Hat running picoreplayer it’s more than efficient to run LMS.Might be worth an upgrade Manuel…...but you have seemed to have solved your problem with the advice of philippe_44.Cheerscoypu
Hi All,Yesterday Deezer was running great with the all new Deezer plugin, but today Deezer refuses to play and when it does for a few seconds it sounds very stuttery and glitchy. I have changed nothing in the settings from yesterday, I wonder if any one else is experiencing this problem.LMS plays radio stations no problem.Cheerscoypu
T@coypu It's apparently an identified bug. But even if MP3 128k CBR is indicated it seems that FLAC is used (so just a problem of information displayed). Thanks for the info Cedzerosept much appreciated.
Hi All,I am now running the new Deezer plugin with thanks to Cedzerosept for his post on how to do this.The one thing I have noticed is that Deezer is streaming MP3 at 128kbps CBR although I put CD FLAC quality on the setup page with my Deezer acount. I have set up Deezer to stream High Fidelity on the Deezer settings page so in theory it should stream at the same bit rate in the Deezer app on LMS.Cheerscoypu
The URL that Cedzerosept Kindly put on his post RE: new Deezer plugin reads; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philippe44/lms-deezer/main/repo/repo.xmIt should read: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philippe44/lms-deezer/main/repo/repo.xmlHope this helps.Cheerscoypu
Hi Cedzerosept,Thanks for all your guidance on new Deezer plugin, I finally got everything working all ok.After submitting your URL as per instruction several times with no joy I noticed there was an L missing at the end of the file extension .xm it should read .xml. I don't know if any other Deezer members noticed the typo.But all is well in the Deezer camp. A BIG Thanks to Philippe44, Michael Herger and to Deezer and yourself for the in-structural post that you put up for the Deezer community.Cheerscoypu
Hi Cedzerosept,Thanks for the great instructions for installing the new Deezer plugin. When I submit the URL in the Additional Repositories the new Deezer plugin does not appear at the very end of the plugin list after a refresh of the page.I updated LMS but it only updates to Version: 8.4.0 - 1707213032 I think this may be the problem, I think LMS has to be running 8.5.0 to install the new Deezer plugin.I’m running picoreplayer on a Raspberry pi 5 with LMS installed, when I try to update LMS it informs me that i have the latest version which is 8.4.0. (I have done a manual update)I wonder if you have any ideas how to upgrade LMS TO 8.5.0?Cheerscoypu
We’ll probably see more People here after the 19th of march (shutdown of the mysqueezebox.com). I'm sure that a number of concerned users don't express their opinion as long as everything's running smoothly. I guess some people just don’t engage in the technical and engineering side of how a streaming service like Deezer works, as you say “as long as everything’s running smooth” they will not get involved when there is major issue that could potentially spoil their listening experience…….they may wake up and smell the coffee on the 19th March unless there is a fix between Deezer and Logitech before then.I imagine they will be quite a few punters that will jump ship and go to another streaming service without campaigning to keep Deezer/LMS running together as a great service for the music industry…...yes we must not forget it’s all about the music we all love.Cheerscoypu
Hi all,Check out link below…….interesting stuff.Update: UESmartRadio.com and MySqueezebox.com https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/general-discussion/1678594-update-uesmartradio-com-and-mysqueezebox-com
Hi Cedzerosept,I think what I can gather from your post is that LMS needs a new developed plugin that will work with Deezer as the present one will no longer work as the mysqueezebox server is closing down very soon.I would imagine most Deezer subscribers that have a Raspberry Pi use LMS running picoreplayer as a means of accessing their Deezer account. I think this is the sticking point of creating a new API, it will still need authentication to gain access to your Deezer account hence the security issues. But I’m sure this can be overcome by the VERY clever people at Logitech.I recently purchased a Wiim Pro which is a great bit of kit, Deezer works great on it but the app can’t be used on your PC if you run Linux…..I believe it will run on Windows but there is no app’s available as of yet.I like to use my PC rather than use a mobile phone or a tablet to access these applications, but I appreciate I am probably in the minority on this one.Cheerscoypu
@Leonídia.Deezer ... thank you for your efforts in progressing this and keeping the community informed. Hi Leonidia, ditto what t1no said.
Hi Leonidia,At Last we have some input from Deezer…….better late than never.Could you please elaborate on “if there’s any official method to use Deezer again on Squeezebox.” I assume you are implying security issues, and does Deezer have the technical expertise to implement to this.I’m sure the very clever people at Logitech could help you with this if you engage with them.cheerscoypu
The LMS community (Philippe44) is developing a new deezer plugin for Deezer … https://github.com/philippe44/lms-deezer This would be great - I will be following developments closely. @DeezerDevs, help philippe44 implement the plugin. Please! This is GREAT news for the Deezer/LMS community. Well done Philippe44! for giving the Deezer subscribers some hope that we can still use Deezer with LMS.Lets hope that Deezer cooperate and play their part in implementing this new Deezer plugin.Cheerscoypu
At this stage in the game you would think that Deezer would keep us updated by using the UPDATES link at the top of the Deezer Community heading.The one thing that worries me is I don’t think Deezer have the trained staff with the technical knowledge to be able to engage with us regarding the issue that they find them self’s in.Cheerscoypu
I suppose we are getting to the point where Deezer subscribers are now jumping ship. Surely they must see that this situation must somehow be resolved between Deezer and Logitech Media Server to make this streaming service work for a GREAT many paying subscribers who listen to Deezer this way.I tried to submit a post on Sunday but the Deezer Moderators blocked me posting my comments of the conversation I had with one of their support agents…...they have not contacted me yet to give me the reasons for this action.I await with bated breath.Cheerscoypu
Hi John,Great Post! I 100% agree with everything you said…...If Deezer don’t get on top of this issue it’s going to be to late to do anything. Deezer has to give the LMS Community who use Deezer a detailed breakdown of what’s happening and how it can be solved (good or bad)As usual Deezer tech support have kept a very low profile concerning this issue from the start. I honestly think they couldn’t give a flying Monkeys about their paying subscribers who use LMS as a way of accessing Deezer.There is some interesting debate on the https://forums.slimdevices.com on this very issue.Cheerscoypu
Hi All,Just been on the Logitech Forum and read on a post that the mysqueezebox server will be closing down at the END of February 2024.Quote: “If you continue using mysqueezebox.com you will continue to see the QR code this; can't be turned off. Switch to a local LMS and you'll quit seeing it (except for Pandora, Deezer, and Tidal, where it will continue). But that should be gone by end of February with the shutdown of mysb.com, because those services will not be available.”Cheers coypu
Is there any news? Unfortunately not..Or am I wrong As of now Deezer is still working very well on LMS with picoreplayer, for how long nobody seems to know?Cheerscoypu
