I really love the WiiM Amp so far. Most music I listen with the Amp is using Plexamp + Chromecast to WiiM Amp.

A native Plex Integration would be highly appreciated. Integrated in the WiiM Home App and additionally as Plexamp compatible player in the network since listening to music with Plexamp is way more fun.

I would absolutely beta test this feature.

I must say, the Plex source UI via the WiiM app has come a long way since its launch and navigates damn well. Additionally, play data is now sent back to your server / scrobbled.

At this point it is very close to a full replacement for Plexamp.

Does it support radio station, guest dj and sonic adventure now then?

I still don't see the point of mimicking the existing Plexamp functionality in the WiiM Home app. Why not just implement endpoint functionality so WiiM can focus on other aspects in their app...

It probably takes two to tango for that and Plex may have other priorities
 
Yes that would be the main hurdle to overcome, but Elan (Plex co-founder) made it clear a while ago that they would love to work together.

Yeah, as you’d expect, I’m aware of that but that doesn’t mean the resources are available to do it.
 
Plex definitely seems strapped for resources much of the time. Their client support list is outrageously long and their product development has been shifting away from power users to more explicit revenue generation.

I need to be in the WiiM app to link additional rooms, anyway, so no big issue for me to browse there while at home. Only time I'm in Plexamp now is to download albums for mobile listening.
