Might be something about how Deezer;s CC communication is not playing nice with the B&O devices.

I just tried CC'ing from the Qobuz app on my iPhone to my BS2 / A9 - and they both worked fine.

So seems to be OK with Qobuz, CC and the B&O speakers I have,

No help to you of course, but just passing on the information.

Did some more Deezer testing on this lazy Sunday.......and it seems the Deezer app is not casting ANY GC product anymore, not to the B&O, not the HK and even not to the Google Home, Mini and Nest devices......and those Google products have the latest GC versions (1.5y.xxxx). Seems a problem of the Deezer app maybe (new version since end of January......)??

Other apps, like TuneIN and Spotify seem to work ok now, using GC to stream to B&O, HK and Google products (either separate or part of a Google Home Group). 

Actually, I take that back. After two reboots of the A6, it has been rediscovered by the Google Home app. Everything appears to working the way it used to, including speaker groups. A single reboot might have been sufficient, but I goofed.

Exact same issues here, been going on for months already I'm currently on 

Beoplay M5 FW version: 1.24.41628.167401182

Chromecast version 1.28.102057

After a reboot the system usually works for a while until it doesn't... which will most of the time be at the worst possible time :(
i can't get my head around this, how can a premium brand like B&O be so underperforming when it comes to releasing firmware updates? If it's due to the Google cast build in FW being outdated, they should have known this already long ago and should have proactively fixed it by implementing a more recent version.
i did notice the interface from google Home got a huge update, the new functionalities look very promising, if I now only had some cool premium speakers that could actually use it :-s

This Chromecast issue appear to be two issues:

1) M5 and A6 disapearing from Google Home. 

This is now solved and was on Googles side. There was no update in B&O firmware required.

2) Inability to cast Deezer from Deezer app when using Deezer HiFi subscription. 

This issue remain. 

My M5 and A6 disappeared today. Had to do a powercycle to bring them back online in Google Home.

Yep, it is indeed a good upgrade that Google Home got. I got it (GC v1.44.xxxxx) for my Harman Kardon speakers, and it works much more stable now when using GCast. And the add/remove on the fly feature is very convenient!

Let's hope the Essence, M5, BS1, A6, etc will get this upgrade soon! 

Interesting!

I wonder how that will work, when you start a session on one device with a voice command?

Will there be a command to simply add one - or even more - of the others (or maybe even exchange the first choosen with a second one)?

With the GHome app it is very easy, you can use the radio buttons to add/remove speakers on the fly (see screenshot from mbolo01). 

This also works when you started a session on one (or more) devices with a voice command. 

Did not find voice command yet to do the same however.
