Ongoing Beta Beta Test: Plex

[pieterv1]

It's working normally now. Feels like non-beta like its polished. Very satisfied. Did not change any settings and was not using docker previously. What is strange is I do not think there have been any firmware updates ; I was on beta firmware when I was having problems with plex and I think I am still on the same one . Great job WiiM Team. Plex seems to be working beautifully.

It does play, it is stable, but the way they have currently implemented it, has its limitations.

Say for example if you have your Plex server at a safe remote location (or just on a different network than the Ultra), it doesn't work. The current implementation requires the WiiM device and the server to be on the same network. This kind of defeats one of the main selling points of Plex(amp) in general: access to your media from anywhere outside of the server network.

The browsing/searching experience from inside the WiiM Home app leaves a lot to be desired as well, especially compared to Plexamp.

@WiiM Team gave us the impression they went back to the drawing board with some involvement from the Plex side as well. Most of us are still hoping for the WiiM devices to be able to act as endpoints for the native Plex apps at some point, but half a year later no news.
