deezer?

[TheOldPresbyope]

TL;DR
Now, when spotify is supported* how about deezer?

LONG VERSION
*Tim’s argument about not implementing one of the streaming services, because there are many of them  (like pointed out here: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forum...ent-493770 , but also in other places) seems a bit outdated, doesn’t it?

if not native support, any kind of plugin/addon/app would do. 

Please note however, that I don’t mean airplay, upnp, bluetooth or any other way of „cast”. Using any (mobile or stationary) device for that:
1. would drain the battery even when I’m at home (It’s actually supposed to be charged at this time in my case)
2. would make the device difficult to use at the same time (for calls or websurfing etc)
3. in case of PC, means letting it on, making noise, consuming energy etc.
4... many other reasons

as a matter of fact, I tried it and it works, but it’s far from something I would call „clean solution” no to speak about „user friendliness”.
Anyways, I’d love to help to develop a solution, but I haven’t found the way to add a plugin/addon/app to moode. Is there any?
At Deezer, there is an API available, sadly I don’t even know where to start to implement it. Not a programmer, you see...

As it is my first post here, I’d like to mention, that I like moode very much and prefer it over other similar solutions. A possibility to use Deezer from moOde directly would be a cherry on that delicious cake

I, for one, am not going to sign up for a Deezer developer account just so I can peek at their API. So I looked for open-source projects which have implemented it. A quick scan of github on "deezer api" turned up this gem on an open project to connect Google Alexa with Deezer which halted a year ago:

After a bit of playing with Deezer's REST API it has been discovered that it does not return the URL to the full stream (versus a 30 seconds sample). This is so by design and Deezer development team had confirmed that. It is only possible to access the full stream through one of their SDKs - Android/iOS/Native. The SDKs however 'force' you to use the Player abstraction that incapsulates the not only of the details of the stream security but also the audio playback on the device which indeed makes it impossible to be leveraged in Alexa.

This subtle nuance was not quite obvious from their documentation so I decided to keep the suspended project here at Github versus removing it as someone might stumble up on the same issue in the future - it would save him/her some time and nerves which is cool!

If there isn't a Deezer-equivalent to librespot (for Spotify) then I don't see Deezer coming to moOde except by the mechanisms you have disallowed.

Just my 2-cents worth.
