Ongoing Beta Beta Test: Plex

[thechez]

Plex stopped working on both of my minis on Friday - it can no longer see my server. Still works via DLNA which I actually prefer, but figured I'd report it anyway

Yes. I've been having intermittent issues with this as well. I'm not using it much but sometimes I'll use it just for kicks. And sometimes it can't find my server. Just holding out for headless Plexamp.

Headless Plexamp is very much what this needs to be

That's not going to help those with Minis (@90c4) or without a Plex Pass.

Yes it has been mentioned before that said "Plexamp Headless" implementation would not be supported by the WiiM Mini because of the lack of processing power/memory.

But that shouldn't necessarily mean that the owners of a WiiM Pro or better are limited to the current half-baked solution, right?

It was the same thing with room correction: it's not because the Mini didn't support it that owners of the higher end devices had to miss out on it.

The Mini is probably still the ideal device for many people, but even at its launch, 3 years ago we could've known that the cheap little hockey puck would probably have its limitations.

Not sure if this is the right place, but do playlists within Plex not work from WiiM? I can access them, but when I try to play them no sound directs to a particular unit.

Yes, playlists do work. When wiim can see the server. You do have to log into plex in all devices.

This is also happening to me. I have 2 minis and a Pro +, it started to be intermittent then it stopped working. I logged out of Plex in the wiim app, then logged back in. This solved the problem for a short time.

This also worked for me. Thanks

Plexamp feels essential to me. I am currently on the Qobuz Connect beta and that works like Spotify Connect. What is notable is how much easier it is to use and more feature rich than using the WiiM app. The native apps are always going to be way ahead of anything the WiiM one will achieve so plexamp feels like a must have
