Deezer Deezer won't play from Wiim home app

I hope you are aware that this is not just a WiiM issue. Deezer has updated their API without making it backward compatible and without informing (all) the streaming device companies.

On top of that there is a specific issue today.

Yes I'm aware. This is two months issue not from yesterday. Had no problem listening on PC Deezer app today on my laptop. I bought the product and it's not working and it takes a long time to fix the issue.

Meanwhile, Sonos S1 Connect that is 10 years old had no problems streaming....

Is that Sonos working now?
 
I really don't know for this streaming issue from yesterday. But years streaming without any problems...
The API was only changed recently and unrelated to the outage yesterday so maybe that Sonos doesn't work with the new API.
 
Ok guys listen... the problem is still here. You can't sell something and expect buyers to know what is API and it can change and it can be for months before you fix it.

It's a streamer and I don't need new VU meters graphics and bunch of new stuff that is useless if I can't play on something that says it works with

Have a moan at Deezer as well then. They shouldn't introduce a breaking change to the API until their partners have made the necessary changes.
 
Same issues : Deezer works, or not. Songs are played, or stop. Albums can't be played entirely. Everything works fine on Deezer app today, same yesterday. I can listen to my playlists in my 8 year old car. I have a wiim speaker and a wiim amp and it was sold as compatible with Deezer. I don't really care about the reasons why it isn't. The question is : are wiim products fully compatible with Deezer or not ?

Man, you missed the point. Or you are on Wiim paycheck. You enter in store, buy something, it says it support Deezer, the thing doesnt work, you cant fix it for 2+ months...

Have a look at comment #20

The issue is systemic and affects a wide range of third-party streaming devices and apps, not just Sonos or WiiM. Deezer’s focus appears to be on its own app, leaving many users and developers without a stable way to stream on other platforms.

And have a look at the date then on comment #20... are you still waiting?

You missed the point, the issue is Deezer's. I do agree it shouldn't take this long but the urgent DLNA alternative to Airplay has taken a lot longer than that.

So... WiiM is not ready for API change? It cought them by surprise?

Deezer on my work laptop is working, on my private laptop working , on my phone working, in my car via Android Auto working.

Not working on my WiiM Amp Ultra for two months and it's Deezer's problem?

Of course Deezer's own app works. Surely it is Deezer's responsibility to work with third parties to maintain compatibility. I have no idea how Deezer and WiiM communicate.

Maybe that is it. Lack of communication from both sides, I don't know either
