Despite all its shortcomings, my desktop Deezer app has always updated itself on macOS for years.Did you copy the app from the vitual disk to your “applications” folder?Is it run from a user session with admin rights?Best,
What’s your macOS version?
Does it hint to a native macOS app?
Yes, I did got your point. It would be interesting to have further insights from Deezer. I agree that there is no sense in having AirPlay 2 if there is a trade off in audio quality.
Hi @Yula,Was the new design the “big rework of our webversion and desktop app” you told us about a year ago?As far as we can tell, nothing seems to have changed under the hood… can you tell us whether technical changes are up to come?Best,
Hi @BigFKahuna,Got to read your article.That’s interesting.But as far as I understand, AirPlay 2 is really supposed to support all formats without transcoding (either upsampling or downsampling), as exposed by Apple during WWDC when it was released.However, I don’t know what is refraining Music apps to use it properly (legal issues? technical issues?). During the last WWDC, it appears that Apple had updated the way it can deal with third party DRM.
Hi @BigFKahuna I have never read anything like this about airplay 2. The specs state that it takes the very sound file in the buffer in various format, bitrate and sampling… and thus can do better that CD quality. But I am interested to read otherwise.
It would have been expected in a major release. Version 10 milestone and not AirPlay 2 in sight. I can live with the new design but best-in-class streaming experience with speakers should be a no brainer for a music app.
Hi @Jaime. Will the next release be the big reworked app that was announced more than a year ago (there: see below)?We haven’t heard of it anymore.
Full proper AirPlay 2 support (including « instant streaming »), ideally on both iOS app and macOS app that would make for Chromecast and Deezer connect in your list. Native desktop app on Apple Silicon
You can do this on an app basis.right-clic on the app, select open in the contextual menu and voilà. I don’t know why Deezer still has this issue after so many months…a brand new app (and website) are coming sometimes.
I dis not know Tidal did it. Do you know if the desktop app is Electron based? That would bring hope for Deezer to be on par.
Thanks for letting us know.
Hi @Leonídia.Deezer There was no news in your last post really, only supposed steps to work around AirPlay issue. Is AirPlay 2 support finally on the development roadmap for Deezer ? Do you have a timeline ?best
Thanks @Leonídia.Deezer,I am sure we all know in the beta forum know how to play via AirPlay. Do you have updates on the full implementation of AirPlay 2 into Deezer? Both iOS and desktop?best
Some news from Apple about AirPlay integration with enhanced audio buffering : https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10238Maybe, it will make things easier for third parties to integrate AirPlay 2. Looking forward to it! Let us know!
Will AirPlay 2 be on your new year resolutions list? Let us know!
Hi @dee_dirk Same here with a screenshot from another app nearly a year ago: Seems so obvious.
If they are currently polishing the UI, I would like that they add direct AirPlay access on the player sheet. 3 taps to access the speaker selector menu is not a good UX on iOS if I may.
Hi,Could we get some updates on this, please Both on full AirPlay 2 support (instant streaming) and AirPlay UI On the player sheet?poke: @Yula @Johnathan Finotti @GuillaumeDZ bestJ
They are asking for Deezer to follow the system dark or light mode automatically.It’s a must have indeed.Currently, it’s a manual setting, Deezer is either Dark or Light independently from the system switching mode.
Hi,No luck here. I deleted the app and restarted the phone before reinstalling the TestFlight version.Audio quality settings are not kept after changing users within the family account.Settings are put back to “standard” for mobile and wifi.Good to hear it seems to be moving to the right direction anyway.
Just tried it with no luck with just released 9.27.0.1 on TestFlight. (BTW: if an admin could correct the typo in the topic name. My bad.)
Oh great!any timeframe ? And area of interest?
Well it’s not really a problem with Apple, it’s mainly a problem with Deezer. Deezer relies on AirPlay 1 which needs buffering and delays… whereas AirPlay 2 (which has been released with iOS 11.4 and is used by Apple Music) introduces instant streaming (and longer buffers).Keep looking forward to Deezer finally introducing it.
