Deezer integration broken for new users — OAuth credentials unobtainable

[Feelisreal]

Am I missing something?

Mixarr lists Deezer as a supported service, but connecting requires an API App ID + Secret from the Deezer Developer Portal. That portal has stopped accepting new app registrations since mid-2024 ("We're not accepting new application creation at this time") with no timeline for reopening.

This means every OAuth-dependent Deezer subscription type is non-functional unless you have legacy credentials from before the lockdown.

I see that the subscription UI already flags this with "Requires Deezer OAuth app (currently unavailable)" — so the limitation is known. I also see that some Deezer features (charts, genre browsing, artist search) already use the public API and work fine without credentials. My question is: could the same public API approach be extended to playlists? That's the one piece that's missing, and it's arguably the most important subscription type for Deezer users.

Also worth noting: Spotify recently tightened their developer API too (Premium required, 5 user limit per app since Feb 2026), so pointing Deezer users to Spotify as an alternative is becoming less viable.

Proposed: add public playlist support (no auth needed)

Deezer's public API already serves playlist data without any authentication:

GET https://api.deezer.com/playlist/{playlist_id}/tracks

Returns full artist/album/track metadata — same data quality as the chart and search endpoints that Mixarr already uses. Users would just need to set their playlists to public in Deezer and paste the URL.

This would close the gap between "Deezer works for charts" and "Deezer works for the playlist-based discovery workflow" — which is the main reason people connect a music service to Mixarr in the first place.

As an optional second tier, accepting a Deezer ARL token (same cookie Deemix/Lidarr use) would unlock private playlists too — but the public API alone would already cover the core use case.

Why it matters

A lot of self-hosted music setups run Deezer → Deemix → Lidarr → Navidrome. Mixarr is the ideal discovery companion for this stack, but without playlist support these users can only use Deezer for charts — not their own curated playlists.

Happy to help test if useful.

HI, you're correct about the Deezer support. Legacy only, otherwise pretty much non-functional. I'll look into the public playlist support, that's a good idea. Thanks!
