Introducing pleezer: a Deezer Connect player

[Nutul]

Is there any getVolume? or maybe the setVolume returns its previous value, so that we can invoke it twice... ;-)

[roderickvd]

No, there is not. The Deezer app pushes a volume message, there is no way to query it.

I was almost sure... mine was more a "please, let it be so" kind of a question... ;-)

If you scroll down a bit there is a post dated Nov 10 that indicates they are working on a fix but no timeframe for release.

I've been a bit busy over the past days, but just released v0.5.0 with this "--initial-volume" parameter.

If you set it, it will keep that initial volume until the Deezer client sets a volume below 1.0. At that point, we assume that the volume is reported properly. This initial volume and logic is re-applied on every new session.

I've also implemented shuffle on v0.5.0. Looks OK but can use some more testing.

Coolness. I'll build a new package and run some tests.

The Deezer app is ... interesting ;-)

The --initial-volume option works perfectly :-)

How do I test shuffle?

[roderickvd]

Just hit the shuffle button at the bottom-right corner:
https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/arti...-On-Deezer

On some playlists you can also directly start shuffle by pressing a shuffle button at the top of the list, between the title of the list and the list of tracks.

Next features will be to also support podcasts and live radio.

Tested shuffle and it works perfectly :-)

Just released v0.6.0 with two key improvements:
- more robust connection which you've reported earlier
- restart session when user token has expired
