Ongoing Beta Beta Test: Plex

[Intruder]

So far no issues here with plex integration in the wiim home app. It always works.

I've been saying this for ages and use it everyday..

It's gotten a lot better from the beginning (with the addition of jumplists etc). I was and am a big fan of Plexamp, but I find the Plex integration in wiim home app now good enough that I don't bother with Plexamp anymore.

Cosign the two above posts. I also get a lot of milage out of the random sort order for albums

The biggest thing I miss from plexamp is the track radio function. I'd hoped for a workaround using playlists, but I couldn't figure out a way to save the radio playlists as standard plexamp playlists readable by wiim

The Plex search can't handle spaces for me, but the WHA native search picks up my Plex library

It's also the customization and interface in Plexamp that people want. You can create just about the perfect player for your needs. That's not possible from within the WiiM Home app. I appreciate the work and time that has been put into this, but people that use a Plex server and Plexamp usually do so because of the features that Plex(amp) offers, and using the WiiM Home app as a limited workaround is just a deal breaker for me.

Everything seems to take more taps than in Plexamp. Switching libraries, opening Plex,… And despite what others people say, the search function doesn’t really work for me. It’s always missing something and coming up with very random suggestions. I’d assume that it would be easier to go the endpoint route and leave the design aspects to Plex. Trying to fit everything into WHA for all sorts of different platforms seems like an overload of work to me. But I’m not a software developer.

I don't miss customisation always left it as stock, don't care what it looks like as long as it works.. I think time is better spent elsewhere.
