Change mood or genre of Flow on Yamaha MusicCast


I use MusicCast for Deezer as my main listening method when I'm at home. I'll often listen to flow. However, it seems to get stuck in one genre for weeks on end, and I can't figure out how to change it. Right now Flow will only play hip hop. I'm now at the point where I would love to listen to something other than hip hop. Please help.

There just flow genres are missing… but you van select flow moods and also can improve flow by like or dislike. 😎

Is there no option withon Yamaha Casting App to select a certain flow mood?

On my Sonos system there isn’t the option to select flow genres, but next to standard flow I also can select one of the flow moods to play.

Not that I can see. I just have "Flow". Tapping it starts a flow and opens the currently playing song. If I tap the queue button there's nothing there.

Ok… so on Yamaha Music Cast Deezer just supports the standard flow and no moods or genres. 
If you want to improve the flow by liking or disliking songs, you will probably have to do that within the native Deezer App e. g. for Android or iOS. 
Or is there a like/dislike Button in Music Cast Apps playback screen while playing flow?

Thanks. There is an add to favourites function on the musiccast app no dislike function.

It seems like I'm stuck on a particular genre though. I have 1261 favourite tracks, I add new ones not quite every day but definitely every week.

I do listen to a bit of hip hop, but not nearly enough for every single song in my standard flow to be hip hop, and it's playing me artists that I never normally listen to or have even heard of. The flow on my musiccast is very different from the flow on my deezer android or desktop app, which is mostly alternative with a sprinkling of other genres.

I've tried setting a genre on my android app and restarting the flow on musiccast, but no luck. Might try turning it off at the mains for a while and hope it resets something.
