An universal linux port of deezer, supporting both Flatpak and AppImage

Overview

Deezer for linux

This repo is an UNOFFICIAL linux port of the official windows-only Deezer app. Being based on the windows app, it allows downloading your songs to listen to them offline!

It packages the app in a number of formats:

  • Flatpak
  • Snap (not tested yet)
  • AppImage (can't automatically login without desktop integration)
  • rpm (Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, openSUSE, ...)
  • deb (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, elementary OS, ...)
  • tar.gz/zip/7z to install anywhere else

It was done thanks to the hard work of SibrenVasse, who packaged the app for the AUR.

Please note that it is still in alpha stage, and you will probably need to install some things in order to generate the packages from source (nodejs and npm at least).

Flatpak

The main point of the project is the flatpak image.

You can install it thanks to the flatpakref file.

To build it from source, you can one of the following commands:

# To build it and install it
make install_flatpak

# To just build it, but do nothing with it
make build_flatpak

# To build it and install it in the local repo (which you can import later)
make export_flatpak

And when it is installed, you can run it with flatpak run dev.aunetx.deezer, or from the desktop icon.

AppImage

This project also generates an AppImage file, which can be used as a stand-alone application.

To use it, you must build it from source for the moment: the package size is randomly big, which prevents me from making a public release.

To generate it from source, call:

make build_appimage

And the image should be in the artifacts/x64 folder.

Because of the way AppImage work, excepted if you use appimaged, you will not be able to login from the browser: the you are not redirected to the application. To make it work, you must open a first instance of the app, and copy the link shown in https://www.deezer.com/desktop/login/electron/callback. In a terminal (where the `.AppImage file is), call:

deezer-desktop-*.AppImage deezer://autolog/...

And you should be automatically logged in.

rpm / deb / tar.gz / 7z / zip / snap

To generate the rpm/deb/tar.gz/7z/zip/snap packages, you can call make build_pkgs, everything should be generated in artifacts/x64.

Please note that generating all at once will take a very long time, and it oddly results in big package sizes for the moment.

The tar.gz is not a pacman package by the way, but just an archive containing the executable (like for 7z and zip). I can't get to generate pacman packages for the moment (throws an error, will investigate later).

To only generate rpm or deb, call:

make build_rpm
# or
make build_deb

Wthout package manager

This will be soon supported, but you can install it by hand with one of the generated 7z/zip/tar.gz archive

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This work is UNOFFICIAL, and Deezer does not officially support linux yet.

Installing/using this is consequently outside of the scope of the Deezer EULA, and I am not responsible for your usage of this.

I will try to talk to Deezer to ask them if I can upload this on Flathub, but even if they say yes (which is nearly impossible), this work is still unofficial.

  • Deezer app is modifying MIME html to be associated with it

    Deezer app is modifying MIME html to be associated with it

    Hello,

    Deezer when it is launched is modifying the file ~/.config/mimeapps.list as follows:

    [Default Applications]
    text/tab-separated-values=rstudio.desktop
    text/plain=rstudio.desktop
    text/html=deezer-desktop.desktop
    x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
    x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop
    application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop
    x-scheme-handler/dzr=deezer-desktop.desktop
    x-scheme-handler/deezer=deezer-desktop.desktop
    

    the culprit is this line text/html=deezer-desktop.desktop. Then any HTML files I open goes into deezer and of course does not display.

    If I manually replaced by text/html=firefox.desktop HTML files are again opened by FF.

    Put if I close deezer and later opened it, the mime text/html is again associated to Deezer.

    Do you know why this is happening?

    Thanks!

    Ubuntu 21.10 with Wayland GNOME 40.4.0 deezer 5.30.170 install via .deb and apt

    Limited to 320Kb/s an cannot favorite albums

    This seems to be an issue while on Fedora. It worked fine on Ubuntu, but flatpak, appimage, and .rpm files do not fix the issue. Not sure how much of this involves something you can fix. Just thought I'd mention it and thank you for the work.

    Outdated version

    The latest version of the Windows application on the Deezer website is 5.30.330, whereas the latest version here is 5.30.220:

    Though I can't say for certain, it seems that the application being out of date has finally caught up with it, because logging into the desktop application simply doesn't work as of today, whereas logging into the website works just fine:

    Fix #21 app must stay in background by default

    Hello ! đŸ™‚

    This PR is to fix #21 After closing the app, it is not stayed in background and, obviously, the systray disappeared. I noticed that the quit.patch was not applied like the other patches. With this change, it is finally applied. I think this is caused by the fix-isDev-usage.patch. It is applied in first, shifts the lines and the patch provided by quit.patch is not found.

    So, with this PR, it works fine. But, it's possible that the bug will come back after merging the PR #20 for example... Is there another way to apply patches?

    When I click at login, it opens my browser at Deezer login page but after I successfully provides my credentials the xdg-open action seems to do nothing.

  • Option to disable systray?

    Option to disable systray?

    As a suggestion, I would find it very nice to have the option to disable minimize-to-systray or even better to disable the systray functionality completely. Especially on GNOME, where there is no systray by default, it is annoying to have deezer running in the background. Or is there maybe some workaround to disable it?

    In any case: Thank you for your work on this! :)

  • After closing the main window, Deezer does not stay in the tray

    After closing the main window, Deezer does not stay in the tray

    After installing v5.30.220-1, the main window when closed quits the whole app (it does not stay in the tray). The tray icon is present and works if the app is open. In v5.30.210-1 after closing the main window Deezer stayed in the tray and played music.

    I didn't find a way how to change the behavior back as it was in v5.30.210-1 in settings or by a command line parameter.

    Workaround: revert to v5.30.210-1.

  • Deezer Cache Location?

    Deezer Cache Location?

    Hello! Thanks so much for creating this project. Without it, I don't think I could have switched to Deezer from Spotify.

    I've been having trouble with the "Flow" playlist. Sometimes it plays the same songs repeatedly. Some times it doesn't work at all. Deezer forums and support have indicated this might be a cache issue, but when using the Flatpak Deezer, I can't locate the cache at all. Visiting Profile -> Account Settings -> More -> App Preferences, it indicates that Deezer is not using any cache:

    image

    I'm not sure if there isn't a cache, or if the Flatpak just can't see it. Either way, that seems like it could be causing my potential problems. Where on the disk is the cache supposed to be stored?

  • Loosing ability to play or skip next track after a short while.

    Loosing ability to play or skip next track after a short while.

    I am finding that after a few tracks in a playlist or album the app will stop playing any further tracks or allow me to skip forward (or back). I can still play the same song again. This in particular happens after the application is left in the background (window closed), but also happens with the window open too. If I click on a different track to play, the name gets updated in the bottom bar, but still only allows the previous song the app is stuck on to play. Happens with both the latest (v5.30.220-2) flatpak and deb, I am using Mint 20.03, fully updated. Issue is repeatable on a clean install of the same version of Mint on a separate machine. Let me know if you need further info :)

    Media Keys not working (Ubuntu, .deb file)

    Hey !

    Just started using this app today, you're a godsend for building it ! The fact that Deezer still doesn't have official Linux support is really sad...

    App is working really well, didn't try the offline features yet, but I can already tell you that media keys (Razer Blackwidow Elite) do not work (they work when using Deezer in the browser), neither do the controls from the app tray. Although the controls in the notification center do (I'm using them for the moment to play/pause and switch tracks)

    I'm using the latest release installed from a .deb file (deezer-desktop_5.30.220_amd64.deb) on Ubuntu 20.04.4.

    Let me know if you need anything to debug :)
