Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - roderickvd - 05-06-2025 Just a heads-up to all moOde users relying on pleezer: Deezer has announced it’s discontinuing the Deezer Connect protocol: → https://en.deezercommunity.com/product-updates/say-goodbye-to-deezer-connect-80661 While the playback part of Connect has been spotty in Deezer’s official apps, remote control of third-party clients (like pleezer) has continued to work well. That’s why I’ve proposed a simple way for Deezer to keep the backend alive: Quote:Let the apps act as controllers but not playback targets — no extra maintenance required, but it keeps pleezer and other integrations working. Over 10,000 people have downloaded pleezer in the last 6 months. From what I can tell, many are using it with moOde or other streamer setups that benefit from:
RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - the_bertrum - 05-07-2025 Seems crazy to me. Without a decent "connect" ecosystem, they'll never challenge the dominance of Spotify. I don't actually use Deezer myself, but I'll upvote and comment anyway, just to keep the biodiversity. ETA, OK, so I tried, but the register/login system also seems to be a bit wobbly and it tells me that my login information is incorrect when I'm choosing a password! Maybe they think they need to devote developer time exclusively to things like that. EATA (edited again to add ![]() RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - roderickvd - 05-07-2025 Thank you for your support and putting in a word at the Deezer Community! RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - GioF_71 - 05-07-2025 It's a shame that this is happening. I just wrote on that discussion. Let's hope they change their mind. RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - marxovac - 05-15-2025 It's completely crazy that I subscribed to Deezer only because I tried the Moode and Pleaser combo and realized it was exactly what I needed. I think I've been trying for a couple of years to find an open-source solution that can run on a Raspberry Pi, supports USB DAC, and can be controlled from a native app. I finally find it, and what happens? The lunatics decide to shut down support just 10 days after I started using it. I don't think anything has made me this angry recently, but unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to change that decision. @roderickvd great piece of work, thanks! RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - roderickvd - 05-15-2025 Thanks for the kind words @marxovac. Everyone, I don't know for how long, but Deezer may have resurrected Connect as an experimental opt-in feature. In the latest app, it's like before Connect came out of beta. Go to your account (profile picture) > settings (cogwheel) > Music > scroll down to "Deezer Lab" > enable "Remote Control".

To reenable the Deezer Connect feature in moOde 9.3.4 use the command below. Code: # Enable the Deezer Connect feature RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - roderickvd - 05-16-2025 That’s pretty cool Tim that you can programmatically enable and disable such features. RE: Deezer to shut down Deezer Connect – plea to keep it alive - TheOldPresbyope - 05-16-2025 OK, so with the Deezer Connect feature reenabled and my Deezer account info restored in the renderer, and with the Deezer Lab>Remote Control feature enabled in the Deezer app on my iPad, I seem to be streaming from them again. Now I have to decide if I still want to let my Deezer Premium account expire at the end of the current billing period as I directed a week ago. Sigh.
