I’ve had to cancel my membership. The missing important functionality of Chromecasting for months points to a lack of resources or poor prioritisation of what is basic functionality (I mean, mucking around with Flow 2.0 when many users can’t play music on their audio system?) and subpar delivery of the service paid for. Worse though the arrogance of not updating either this forum or my support ticket says all I need to know about this company. I pity anyone who invested in it recently. A real shame as it showed so much promise and the editorial is actually pretty good. I’m disappointed rather than angry.
Surprising that it was so difficult to reproduce, hopefully they are aware of the different iOS and Android manifestations (if it is the same problem). Raises the point - are there people Chromecasting successfully to 1.36 firmware devices, or to Chromecast audio’s from Android?
I did some testing with Android, like Rick the Str-dn1080 and Chromecast Android both quickly showed the Chromecast icon as ‘solid’ but the audio played out of the mobile speakers, not the Chromecast.iOS continues to work to the Chromecast Audio but not the STR-DN1080. Interestingly once I started the stream to the Chromecast audio I could connect from Android and control the stream (ie click next).I’ve had no update from Deezer support at all. Given the length of time to fix a basic functionality issue I would have to guess it’s not fixable for some reason. I find it really disingenuous if that is the case that they don’t just admit it. If it is fixable then something is wrong with the prioritisation of dev time imho. Playback is a pretty fundamental function of a streaming product.
Ah interesting, your symptoms are different. I notice you’re on Android (I’m iOS) - perhaps two different issues or they manifest differently depending on phone/tablet OS. For me the cast never loads I.e. cast icon blinks/pulses but never goes solid: be good to confirm with others their symptom and OS.
My personal view is that this is not a technical error, but that Deezer and Google have not agreed on the finances and have therefore prevented Google Deezer from continuing to use it. Therefore we have no information, Deezer does not disclose these internal issues. The technical fault would have been fixed long ago. This is an issue with the earlier generation of Chromecast used in some streamers/receivers. Other Chromecast devices (e.g. Chromecast Audio, Ultra) still work. I think its a simple case of needing to fix it or regress their code, or tell us why they can’t fix it so we can decide what to do. I would hope that some significant resource has been allocated as its a bit of a deal breaker for those with affected equipment. I have a Chromecast Audio dongle. Neither it nor my Google Chromecast dongle work. My Google TVs both work. HiIt might pay to check your firmware as my CC Audio and Ultra are definitely loading OK. The CC Audio is on 1.56.281627
It was cool to see some music from the Ukrainian National Radio Symphony pop up on the Classical Mix. The editors of this seem to keep it quite topical and its a great discovery tool.https://deezer.page.link/FEfjhvmUme6FarnH7 Bevan

How are you guys creating these nice embedded things?
I can echo this, Chromecasting to Sony STR-DN1080 has stopped functioning in the past few days. Tried from iPhone and iPad. Tidal YouTube music and Tunein are all working fine.symptoms are that the device can be seen but upon selection just stays ‘loading’. The device does turn on.A Google home speaker and Chromecast audio do work, so this maybe a 1st gen Chromecast issue. The Sony has Chromecast firmware 1.36.145853 I notice the Google home and my Chromecast audio have 1.56. Thanks
