Deezer Connect not connect to wiim pro

[Infokeeper]

I try connect from Deezer app to wiim pro and nothing happening. On wiim pro app Deezer play without problem.

Deezer Connect isn't anything like Tidal Connect. It can only control another full-blown instance of the Deezer app.

Yeah, Deezer Connect is a misnomer really - Deezer Remote would be more accurate.

Very bad. And who is to blame for this that the native application cannot connect and control playback on wiim pro? Deezer or Linkplay? The native application is much richer in functionality, I want it! And the stutters when the wiim pro application cannot start playing a track in Deezer and you have to juggle everything to finally start playing, who is to blame for this?

Emphatically Deezer for taking a very Deezer centric view and thinking that users just want a remote control feature for another instance of the Deezer app, as opposed to a proper casting mechanism as developed by Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music and hopefully very soon, Qobuz.

The WiiM devices are based on a Linux variant (Tina I believe) and can’t run mobile apps such as the official Deezer app, so have to rely on the third party API provided again by Deezer which as you’ve discovered isn’t as feature rich as the native Deezer app.

Re stuttering in the WiiM Home app, have you tried rebooting your WiiM device and/or router? If the issue persists, the route to a solution is to submit a ticket to WiiM from the settings/feedback section in the WiiM Home app so they can inspect your device log for evidence of the issue.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I’ll write a letter to Deezer with a request to implement a full-fledged cast protocol for broadcasting directly to devices.
I'll make a report. Rebooted. Problems arise when switching between applications, it seems that the connection between the application and the Deezer server is broken and it takes time for it to be restored. I connected Dizer as a flac, it is possible that this format is less suitable for broadcasting than the one that Spotify uses, AAC in my opinion.

I try use native wiim deezer app and it not posible. Track random stoped play. I understand why it happened, simply stoped it all. I planed transfer from Spotify to Deezer and disappointed wiim app. How in fault Lynkplay or Deezer?

So, is this normal that Deezer can't be accessed through Wiim pro plus home app? It all works when Deezer is used direct from their DEEZER app, but can't through the Wiim home app.! The only option was Screencast if you insist on using the Wiim home app to listen. But unlike others like the Tidal, Spotify, Amazon unlimited etc, i can access all these through Wiim home app except Deezer.
Is this normal?

Sounds like you’re experiencing the exact opposite of what has been discussed above. Deezer is directly accessible from within the WiiM Home app if you have linked it to your Deezer account. If you use Deezer’s own app, you’d need to Chromecast to the WiiM as I can’t see it “all working” otherwise.
Have you enabled Deezer under “manage” Music Services in the WiiM app?

Deezer app is visible. However it won't connect!
I type in the username and the password and it tries to connect, but nothing. No error message, nothing!
The only way to connect through Wiim app is to go through Deezer app itself, then connect using the CAST. Unlike other apps like Tidal etc they all worked just fine, but just not Deezer..!
It's all under the same network and the username and password are all correct, but it just won't work.
I've given up..!

Ok, that’s a bit clearer than your original post and makes more sense.

Sounds like you have an authentication issue with Deezer thru the WiiM Home app. I’d try deleting and re-installing the WiiM Home app and then again trying to log in to Deezer in the WiiM Home app (as an aside, we normally don’t refer to music service options inside the WiiM Home app as apps, but as services - saying app for an option inside an app is confusing…)

If that doesn’t work and you still have difficulty linking to the Deezer service in the WiiM Home app, submit a ticket to WiiM via the settings/feedback section in the WiiM Home app so they can inspect your device and app logs for evidence of the error.

Ha ha I'm sorry, i didn't realise!
Now what you're saying makes sense too..!
Ok, I'll try that and see if that helps.
Cheers!

Does the password have "unusual" characters?
If so, consider trying a simpler, but not too simple, password, just to see if that makes it work.
Not saying you need to keep the simpler password, but it might provide a hint before getting wiim involved.
