Compiled version?

Will there be an compiled version? (.exe)?

Thx :). Can't wait to check your project out ;)

This is just a wrapper to communicate with Deezer's API via .net - so no .exe

[projectgoav]

As said, this project is a library which allows you to use the Deezer API with a .NET library.

People who wish to use the library will be the ones to write the .exe program, and reference this library in it.

If you're looking for the compiled version of this library (.DLL) it can be found on Nuget or you'll have to clone this repository and build it yourself!

I'm currently looking into using this as a way to create a little player for myself. I might release it afterwards.. we'll see.

@Zoba273 have you tried the newest version yet? Does it seem any easier to use?

[UkeHa]

@projectgoav i haven't had the chance due to my work. I'll have a look and will give you feedback ASAP.

[projectgoav]

Awesome, no hurry. If you wait an hour or so, I'll upload a new version with a few fixes.

@Zoba273 Can't wait to check your player :). Good luck!

@donmega i wouldn't hold my breath, tho. I'll see how much time i can get to code 👍

@projectgoav - i really like the new build!
So, now i'm ready to read every data there is to the artist,albums, coverart etc. but how am i supposed to play the real music files? The only thing remotely usable would be the URL to the Deezer-page does that work?

[projectgoav]

I've been trying to find a solution for this. You are provided with a stream link when looking at the service information, but I'm not sure how to use that to play the particular track. I'll have another look into it soon.

[projectgoav]

@Zoba273 - The docs for the API say that via the Deezer API, only 30sec previews are available. Streaming has to be done seperately I think. The javascript SDK has a player which provides full-length streams by passing track IDs to it.

@projectgoav

The guys at https://github.com/MBach/Miam-Player did find a way to play full tracks.

@donmega - Thanks for that. I've had a look, but it simply is a wrapper around the Javascript SDK player. It opens a hidden web-view which plays the music in the background. I'd need to examine the Deezer SDK source and re-write their player in C# to include it in this library I think.

EDIT: I've had a look at the Android/Java version of the Deezer SDK. Looks to like like they play music through the Deezer App, as you're supposed to have the Deezer application installed on your device to use an app with the Android SDK.
