If you're having issues building the package, make sure the prettier package is up-to-date on your system.

Current version is prettier 3.2.2

The reason gnome doesn't appear to be reading the included .desktop file seems to be the included NoDisplay=true, which essentially renders the desktop file a MIME associator only. And funnily enough the association is with plain text, which seems silly at least without some deeper insight. :)

So, to make gnome "pick up" the .desktop file for menus and launchers etc. the NoDisplay=true could be deleted. And while at it, the funky-looking MimeType=text/plain; declaration could be deleted as well, in addition to capitalizing the app name as is presented by Deezer itself wherever the name is not brand-stylished. This would leave us with:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Deezer
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/usr/share/deezer/app.ico
Comment=Audio streaming service
Exec=/usr/bin/deezer
Terminal=false
Type=Application

the program is installed, but for some reason gnome isn't reading its .desktop, so I'm only able to launch it using the terminal. I needed to edit the .desktop at "/usr/share/applications/deezer.desktop" to the following:

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Deezer

Comment=Deezer for linux destop

Exec="/usr/bin/deezer" %U

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Icon=deezer

StartupWMClass=Deezer

Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;

@IlyaGulya thanks :)

@mannp Sure, it supports FLAC when you are HiFi user. That's main purpose why I've made this package :)

Excellent thanks.

Do we know if it support flac playback for hifi users?

Thanks

It works fine for me, thanks!

@pamrg This will require changes to the Deezer js codebase. So, the only way to do that is Deezer developers will implement such feature. You can try to create a patch and provide it to me, but patches can easily be broken during the update.

@ZeroDot1 This is unofficial build of Deezer app. Some functions may not work properly. If you or someone else can investigate and tell me the solution, I can add it to the package.

Works well, thank you! Can we add the possibility to disable desktop notifications when the song changes?
