It is a shame how little people value a piece of software I have seen people refuse to pay 99p for an app even when it is exactly what they need. All it costs is the price of a coffee a month for a plexpass annual and Plexamp is so good I don't hesitate to pay.
Yes that seems to be the conclusion of most people who were able to try the beta, which is why they went back to the drawing board. Let's wait and see what they come up with. I'm currently not at home to try, but I believe I can just as well start "plex casting" to my Raspberry PI running Plexamp headless from both the OG Plex app and Plexamp. So the implementation might be universal for both apps.
Yes all in one app (Wiim Home) is great if it also has all the functionality of the native app most of the integrations are ok if you want to just listen to albums and the odd playlist but that is it. Also, before I get criticised I do listen to albums (mostly vinyl) but there are times when I enjoy the Plexamp DJ doing the multi-song transitions between tracks, so good for rediscovering things you haven't listened to for a while.
If you don't need Plexamp and are happy using other software why pay for Plexamp. I actually have very little idea what the benefits of Plexamp are to make it worth buying.
Sure if you don't need it then don't but perhaps try it you might like it. If nobody wants to support Plex then they will go away or add advertising do you want either of those things to happen?
What are the benefits? I don't use Plex at all.
None if you don't use Plex.
And coupled with Tailscale, you can listen to music from your NAS in the car using PlexAmp or when walking the dog. It's very convenient to flip on Tailscale and every service hosted at home is at your fingertips. I'm sure there's an LMS frontend if we look hard enough.
Don't even need Tailscale to listen remotely
Sure, if Plex is the only thing you do remotely.
If you don't need any integration with other music services, to listen purely to your personal music library stored on a NAS or server (at home and on the go), it is a great alternative to Roon. And considerably cheaper
I don’t know about Plex, but in general the APIs provided to third parties like WiiM are less functional than the source native apps. There are some who want the WiiM Home app to be the one client app for all their music services (I’m not one) but they have to accept a less feature rich interface.
Same here I don’t use it. I would rather see feature focus on improving rc especially the independent peq and phase timing.
Guys, it's okay, nobody uses ALL the services. Just because I don't need a particular service, I'm not going to tell in every dedicated thread.
Was about to reply the same adding more services is good and of course not every service is for everyoneGuys, it's okay, nobody uses ALL the services. Just because I don't need a particular service, I'm not going to tell in every dedicated thread
Which o/s, which version, which device and which firmware?
