Deezer Flow Moods, now available on desktop and web!

Trust trying it now, it looks good, nice and clear. Agreed, seems to work now in v5.30.180. Nice update.

Deezer Flow Moods, now available on desktop and web!

On desktop this has been a terrible upgrade for me. Using 4.25.0 on Windows 10. I have 8 different flow options.  Each option plays me the same list of tunes. None of these tunes are anything like any music I normally listen to. Flow was never perfect, but was a huge amount better before this upgrade. I have the same experience - in fact each new “Flow” on desktop now plays the standard (rubbish) playlist that is available by default when starting up Deezer, i.e. it is not a Flow at all. I’m sure this is just a bug that will be fixed soon, right? My desktop application version is 5.30.160.

Why does Chromecast not work?

Hello everybody!  This was reported but unfortunately I have not heard back from the development team.

Strange: if I just click that, a pop-up screen briefly opens but quickly redirects to Yula's community member page where I can't see an icon for sending a message. But if I long-press that, a pop-up opens instead, where a send message icon does exist. This is a mobile Firefox browser, maybe that's doing things incorrectly.Regardless, @Yula : when I try to send a message to you, I get a note that “This member can on

Listen Next option while using FlowIn discussion

Hey there, unfortunately this is not one of our urgent projects but we are still considering it.  Flow is supposed to be used when you are not sure what to play, or you want to be carried away from the flow…  If you want to have control on the queue you can listen to playlists, albums, etc... @Yula , thanks for the comment, however I have never understood this reasoning for keeping the feature sets separate. Flow is great, but listeners are not permanently in a flow mode or in an album mode, often not even during an hour of playing. Regardless of what is playing (Flow or not), one should always be able to pick a song, album or playlist to be played next. If Flow was playing, Flow should be resumed after the active queue has been played. Optimally it would work vice versa too: while playing an album, I'd like to assign Flow to be played whenever the album (or the active queue, if it gets modified) has been played through.

Windows/Mac Deezer Desktop/Web App - Bugs/Issues/WorkaroundsF.A.Q.

When I relaunch the player, the play queue is the standard default selection of some current tracks. Did you enable play queue synchronisation in the audio quality settings? Then it should be saved in the cloud to be accessible on all your Deezer devices. Thanks for the hint. I have tried play queue synchronisation before and I suppose it would work for this. However, I listen on multiple devices, often for different purposes, and I rather prefer to keep the play queues separate.

Windows/Mac Deezer Desktop/Web App - Bugs/Issues/WorkaroundsF.A.Q.

Thanks for adding to this discussion @Renne what do you mean about losing the playing queue? Does this happen on any playback or is it specific to playing albums, playlists, Flow, … ? I only meant that in the context of the desktop player crash. I often add songs/albums to the play queue bit by bit as I go along listening - and all that gets lost when the player goes and crashes. When I relaunch the player, the play queue is the standard default selection of some current tracks.

Windows/Mac Deezer Desktop/Web App - Bugs/Issues/WorkaroundsF.A.Q.

Anyone else having issue that moving window crashes the app? This is in windows 10, app version 5.20.0. Tried reinstalling but that didn’t help I’m getting this crash on moving too.Both in this and the previous versions, the app also intermittently crashes during play, just when on the background. Once a day or so. Small nuisance, although I do lose the current play queue.-Renne

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

I can confirm that scrobbling works for me also from the Android app (my version number is 6.0.3.44) -- in addition to the web player and the beta desktop app. Talking about the normal Deezer catalogue here. Hopefully all will have the same experience soon. And then, just looking forward to a [url=https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/324]proper implementation![/url] :wink: Tracks that are barely started before skipping should obviously not be registered.

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

[user=202]Flo.Deezer[/user] [user=195]Anja[/user] [user=214]Rafael.[/user] -- Excellent that scrobbling works again. Thanks for fixing it!! Also Jon [user=2526]Maddieman[/user] from Last.fm, thanks for supporting the work. :clap: I have only tried the web player so far, and I hope it is already okay on the mobile and desktop as well. Now that the topic is still fresh, I would like to bring your attention to the fact that the current implementation of the [url=https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling][b]Last.fm Scrobbling API[/b][/url] at Deezer is quite rudimentary. To my best understanding it should not be a complex API to follow properly. Please see (and all: vote!) this topic that I raised about a year ago: [url=https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/324]https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/324[/url]. Thanks a lot.

Scrobble tracks properly to/Improvements to Last.fm integrationIn discussion

Now that scrobbling again works, roughly speaking, it would be very nice to proceed with implementing it properly. As a reminder, here's the Last.fm Scrobbling API: [url=https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling][b]https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling[/b][/url] Various opinions have been presented on preferred ways of scrobbling. I would say that it suffices to just follow the Last.fm guidance. It only makes sense that track plays are recorded similarly across the landscape of music software and users. So here's how (quoting): [quote][h3]When is a scrobble a scrobble?[/h3]A track should only be scrobbled when the following conditions have been met:[list] [*]The track must be longer than 30 seconds. [*][i]And[/i] the track has been played for at least half its duration, or for 4 minutes (whichever occurs earlier.) [/list]As soon as these conditions have been met, the scrobble request may be sent at any time. It is often most convenient to send a scrobble request when a track has finish

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

Aha, got it: Flash vs. HTML5 player and old vs. new skin are two different things. Now I managed to deactivate the new skin and WebScrobbler indeed works again. And yes, I too am using Deezer on multiple platforms so finding a patchy solution for one medium does not solve it all.

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

[quote=V_Shaft]An additional piece of info reported over at Last.fm forums regarding the same issue: [b]scrobbling works from the Deezer web player, but ONLY when using the old skin, and with with the addition of the Web Scrobbler extension (for FF and Chromium-like browsers).[/b][/quote] I have tried this both with Firefox and Chrome, using Deezer with the previous Flash player, but with no success - WebScrobbler is still not identifying the tracks. However, WebScrobbler has now implemented [url=https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/1756]support for Deezer HTML5[/url] and it should be included in the next release. That could come tomorrow, or in months from now, I have no idea about that. I find this very frustrating too. Last.fm API has been the same for years and it should not be too complicated for Deezer to maintain its support. For me it's a key point to keep paying to Deezer.

I confirm I have this issue too - on the desktop beta app (on Windows) v0.9.1. Started to misbehave perhaps two weeks ago or so. Will be glad to provide more information about the issue as needed, on that app or the mobile Android beta.

"Add to Queue" and "Play next" available via ChromecastNot for now

I agree that this would need to be added. Now, when editing the current playlist (e.g. reordering or removing tracks) on the Android app while chromecasting, the changes appear to be accepted, but then there is a disappointment when in fact the original unmodified playlist plays.

Stop at end of current trackNot for now

[quote=Odaeus]I really dislike interrupting music in the middle of a track. It would be great to have a "stop playing at end of current track" button (e.g. holding down pause) for OCD people like me :grinning:.[/quote] YES! Exactly. I remember that back in the day when playing mp3s with my favourite player, I always used to end playing by holding shift when clicking "stop", and the song would nicely play to the end. I want that!

Option to add songs to the queue while in Flow/Mixes or automated recommendationsNot for now

Hi [user=202]Flo.Deezer[/user], yes, at least I was referring to automated mixes such as: 1) Flow, 2) artist-based mixes and 3) automated recommendations which can be selected to be played after a determined playlist. When playing those, would be great to be able to every now and then throw in a favourite song or album to be played next, so that the original automated mix (e.g. Flow) is resumed once the selected track(s) have been played.

Option to add songs to the queue while in Flow/Mixes or automated recommendationsNot for now

This is key! When playing Flow, or another Deezer-controlled playlist, I want to be able to add songs to be played next (and then reorder them in the playqueue if I want) -- so that when those added ones run out, playing will resume from Flow or whichever "Sia mix" or similar that was playing originally. Thanks, -Renne
