Deezer Plugin

Oh... didn't know this worked this way. Most other service provide
multiple account support the same way as family accounts. Hmm... Don't
know whether Deezer offers an API for this. Will check it out.

In this post https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...=deezer+family user says "Regarding Deezer API, it is possible to access to the profile by adding the user in the url for each request (like a folder)."

Hope it helps

Interesting - didn't see this. But then I googled around a bit and found
this thread:

https://en.deezercommunity.com/got-an-idea-9/allow-multiple-logins-for-family-subscription-490/index3.html

- which says that even in 2019 the API still does not support family
accounts.

I sent a mail to Deezer asking for details. Let's wait and see.

Got a response, short and clear:

"Sorry, but that feature is not still available in our API."

Sad story I voted for that feature though. Hopefully they will implement it eventually.


Thank you for your really great work though!

Apols if this is a silly question: I've just switched from Ickstream.

With this plugin, is there a recommendation for Direct vs Proxied streaming?

Or does that not apply for MySq apps?

thanks very much.

There are pros and cons for both methods:

Direct:
+ player keeps streaming even if LMS is having problems
- the players' small buffer can cause hiccups

Proxied:
- higher load on LMS. If something is locking it, playback will stop

perfect! thanks Michael, that's as I thought.

LMS runs on my main server, so proxied it is, then.

Hello,

I use Deezer flow with LMS since 2 months, and I notice that imgproxy.db grows anormaly each time I listen to Deezer playlists.
I think that each random song adds artist and album picture in this db.
If it's right, don't you think this will be a problem in long time ?
How can I avoid this?

What do you consider "anormal"?

> I think that each random song adds artist and album picture in this db.

I don't think artist pictures are downloaded automatically (they might
be if you use the Material skin and show more information all the time).
But track/album artwork certainly is.

> If it's right, don't you think this will be a problem in long time ?

This hasn't changed in quite few years and hardly ever lead to serious
problems.

> How can I avoid this?

Are you using mysb to resize the images, or LMS itself (see
Settings/Advanced/Performance)? In the latter case I'd expect this file
to grow bigger than if you let mysb do the heavy lifting.

Deezer reverted to old interface

After ickstream came to an end, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Deezer pluggin had been updated to include flow among other things. I was finding it to be working better than the ickstream version. About 2 weeks ago it reverted back to the old interface on me with only the webradios available. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and running it through both LMS and mysqueezebox. I even went in and deleted the cache in case that was a problem . Still stuck in the old UI.

Anyone else having this problem.

Thanks.

Your Deezer account hasn't dropped back to a free/unpaid account by any chance?

The only time I've seen Flow in my interface was when I was using a trial premium account. I know just run on a free account, and I don't get access to Flow anymore.

Hi Michael,

Sorry for my late answer.
imgproxy.db is 1.3Go (stable) and has grown 5% in 15 days since I listen deezer.
I didn' use the web interface. Only the Android SqueezeCtrl App on 2 tablets on the wall that light up when someone passes by.
I resize the images with LMS, but I put all in cache : album artwork, photos and videos.
Since I change it to put only album artwork in cache, i looks to be better. But I'm not sure...

My Deezer account appears as normal on my phone. It's a family account though, I wonder if that is causing the problem.

Thanks kidhazy,

I had uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times and it did nothing. This time I deleted my account and logged back in. Problem solved.
