The song that impacted you the most -THE THREAD 🔉
@dteezle It's definitely not a hardware limitation. Chromecast can receive ATMOS tracks which are way bigger. Additionally, as mentioned, my AVR was what tipped me off to the low-quality. If it can't cast tomthat properly, it means something is broken with Deezer. I doubt this will ever get fixed (other than if they are reading this to contradict me) since they erroneously said its fine and haven't addressed it since.
Update to above. I further validated this. Discovered my AVR (same device used for casting) has Deezer built in. Started a song. Plays FLAC at full 44.1kHz/16bit per the interface. Went into router again to monitor and data amount is inbound again for a full FLAC quality file. It's transferring to my AVR at an average of 1Mb per second.The track is 4:11 minutes long. 4:11 minutes in second is 251 seconds. As mentioned above it was at a rate of 1Mb per second so my AVR received 251Mb of data.251Megabits is 31.37 Megabytes. A FULL FLAC FILE. This settles it for me. Casting is not FLAC.
3 years later, an app redesign, and still haven't fixed this. For those landing here in 2024, I saw @Barendrecht post and went into my router as well. I looked at the real-time traffic and when a new track starts, inbound WAN (Internet) Traffic shows around 15-30MB depending on the the song. I'm not satisfied with that. Next I look at real-time bandwidth monitor for individual devices. The device that's receiving the castig is getting around a 30-50Mb blip. Great right? NO IT'S NOT. Mb is Megabit and MB is Megabyte. 30Mb is 3MB. A lossless file is the 15MB-30MB just like the incoming traffic at the beginning. This means it's either compressed and/or not HiFi. To validate this, I set quality to basic everywhere just to be sure. Download was 3-7MB in Router data. Going back to traffic monitor, the casting receiver is only pulling a blip of 13Mb now. That is now a 1.6MB file! What does this mean?It means is Deezer is requesting a HiFi track but only casting a Standard file and probab
