Deezer connection

[wittmanpatrick-glitch]

Hello, thank you for your work!
There's just one thing missing: access to Deezer. Do you think that will be possible?

Thank you for your help

Thanks! Honest answer: Deezer isn't something SixBack will add itself.

SixBack's job is narrow on purpose — get your six hardware buttons working again without Bose's cloud. It's not meant to grow into a full streaming-service hub or a big web app; that scope is deliberate.

And for Deezer specifically there's no surface to build against even if I wanted to: a service can only sit on a button if it offers a plain stream URL the speaker can play, or an open Connect-style API to drive the speaker as a playback target. Deezer Connect has been officially deprecated, their developer/API access is closed, and the native Deezer source you used to have ran through Bose's cloud (gone). The most active community project, pleezer, is a Deezer Connect player — but it only plays to a local audio output and rides that same deprecated protocol, so there's no stream URL to point a speaker at.

The good news: the source is open. If anyone finds a workable Deezer path, you're more than welcome to build it — PRs are open. What works on the buttons today: TuneIn / internet-radio streams, DLNA, and Spotify.
