Shuffle mode not working on chromecast integration with Deezer


Hello

I'd like to ask, why the shuffle button disappears when I play music by Chromecast. Overall, Chromecast music playback works very poorly. Disconnections are common.

When I play on headphones or Bluetooth it’s fine.

Thanks

Hey @Łukasz.S 

At this very moment, we're unable to shuffle while casting via Chromecast. You'll have to set up a specific order before casting so that the player can follow it.

But don't worry, we're planning to develop shuffle to Chromecast at some point in the near future. In the meantime, Happy New Year!

When is this feature coming. I really like Deezer but this seems to be a very basic feature?!

We're also waiting for an update on this @Jensemand once I've got more info, I'll be letting you know.

In the meantime, have a great week!

We haven't added this to our plans yet, @Psydoc but it's on the radar, thank you for your support!


Hello!

Near future? When can we expect this feature?

Thanks

Any update on this one? Seems your radar is pretty long range.

Can we please get an ETA on this? Seems like a point where Spotify outperforms Deezer.

I know this topic is really old, but a workaround is to use the third party app https://stevenaleong.com/tools/deezerplaylistrandomizer to shuffle the playlist.

The real solution is this: 


… but Deezer does not care about Chromecast devices, or paying customers.

It's 3 years later. Is there any updates. I like Deezer a lot but this is the one thing that keeps me going to other services.

Same here. Deezer is quite good for personal use, but as soon as you have guests you need to use something else.

“Stream across all your devices” is something the marketing department uses, but that is a blatant lie. “Stream across all your devices with crippled features” would be a better slogan.

Yeah, it’s been years, how is it still an issue?!

Sheer incompetence, or they just don’t care. 😔

@Rudi can you give us the ETA? Adding songs to the queue when casting on a party is a quite reasonable request, I’d guess?

No ETA yet as far as I am concerned.

Ok, and is that due to not caring, or incompetence?

This is such a basic feature ... I can’t possibly explain to my guests that I use a streaming service which does not support it.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve been looking for a European alternative to Apple Music or Tidal but Deezer has just been such an awful experience. How is this platform almost 20 years old but missing basic features like this?

I can forgive so many annoyances with the desktop/mobile app but missing a queue functionality when casting to my streamer amp is a dealbreaker. 

back to Tidal it is then.

You are absolutely right. We have a family account, so I can't leave that easily.

Somehow I still have faith they will implement the most basic stuff, bu i have been waiting for years and years now.
