Integrate Deezer streaming service

Is flow available to 3rd party applications? Some services limit some features to their own apps.

Ive been waiting to drop tidal like a bad habit and been wanting to give deezer money for some time now. …hopefully deezer comes to roon…amd yes ive been on the deezer forms

I think given that Deezer doesn’t even have gapless playback (one of their most requested features), we will be waiting a while for Roon integration.

Well, that’s unfortunate. Not a good sign when a company publicly announces that a core part of modern business practices has been suspended.

Hi and thanks for jumping in here. I have been waiting “years” for the Deezer integration as my entire family uses it. I am standing alone, and since I am Canada, I am completely dependent on Roon’s relationship with Tidal (No Quobuz here). This mono-relationship makes me quite uncomfortable, and effectively doubles my music costs. Can you discuss with the community what the longer term plans are for your content providers?

I have a feeling that Deezer isn’t doing ANY integrations anymore.

I was poking around at their docs. Many pages, including their SDKs for Android, iOS, and JS, are giving 404 errors:

https://developers.deezer.com/sdk/android
https://developers.deezer.com/sdk/ios
https://developers.deezer.com/sdk/javascript

I also found on Twitter, Reddit, and their own forums that they aren’t supporting the JS SDK… ok, fine… there is still an API… but no playback is included in that. Figured I could find something in the Android/iOS SDKs related to playback, but those don’t seem to exist at all anymore.

Not getting any response from them on this, not even at their publicly active Deezer Devs Twitter account, but I did find this thing where they stated they don’t support the JS SDK anymore, but then went silent as the others chimed in saying everything has gone away.

This one kills me:

It’s tough to put in effort (time and money) for this stuff, and then they kill it without notice or communication. Brutal:

Sounds like you have more chance integrating with Apple? (I am assuming close to 0) haha :smiley: wouldn’t that be grand.

Yes. Flow is available on my Cambridge CXNv2 (StreamMagic), Octavio AMP (Virtuose) and my Marantz streaming amp (HEOS).

Could Roon negotiate with Deezer and come up with win-win solution?

The discussions have happened with zero substantial progress.

Deezer has made public statements saying there is interest. However, there seems to be no will to proceed inside Deezer. Only Deezer customers can trigger that drive. I can only encourage you to make your desire for a Roon integration vocal to them.

Meanwhile, we are in progress with other streaming services that see Roon as aligned with their customer’s needs.

Apple integration is easy for us on iOS/MacOS – but we couldn’t do any of the audio magic. We’ve spoken to them and they are willing to give us the data dumps we need. The biggest issue with Apple is that they won’t give us audio streams or playback outside their platforms.

Any hints? :wink:

A post was merged into an existing topic: Apple Music integration (with new Apple Music Web-API?)

I thought Deezer was abandoning integrations but as it turns out, it isnt:

“Deezer – We expect to finish Deezer certification and enable it in 2.4.5 with a similar UI to the HRA service.”

Innous now has Qobuz, Tidal, HRA partially integrated (full library integration in another update) & Deezer integration on their near term roadmap.

Lifetime member…however a lonely ROON life without Deezer too…

AAOS integration is now done. Literally went live this week. Should be some movement on their dev roadmap now. Worthy of a phone call on behalf of all these loyal customers, pitch the benefits of being the guys behind one of the best front ends out there. :wink:

KKBOX now available as a service… which is geographically very limited (availability of service).

I have posted something similar on the Deezer forum, but can someone tell what prevents Deezer’s integration?

I’m also waiting for DEEZER

It’s a real shame Roon will not be getting Deezer integration.
I have Qobuz and dumped Tidal.
Only reason i am with Qobuz is to buy discounted albums TBH.

As a lifetime member of Roon from the start I find it frustrating that i have to use other apps and even have to consider extra hardware to stream in some locations. My main listening room endpoint is Roon only.
I may end up getting a Cambridge Audio streamer to be able to use Roon and Deezer via the CA app.

It’s just the other way around: Deezer doesn’t want it! Isn’t it @Danny?
