Plex library shared access

[kenwonders]

I have a library on my Plex account that I can access and play perfectly through my Wiim Ultra. I have a friend with a different Plex account that I've given access to my library - he can access everything of mine on his Plex client on TV. He cannot however get his Wiim to see my music library. Is there some secret sauce to make this work or is it perhaps not supported?

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, access to remote Plex servers (or the lack thereof) is one of the main issues with the Plex integration in its current form:

Please @RyanWithWiiM @WiiM Team could you enlighten us with the smallest update please?

The current implementation seems broken in so many ways:
- no remote access (one of the main features of the whole Plex ecosystem of apps)
- playlists not fully showing (capped at 500 tracks)
- certain albums not playing (I've raised a ticket for this myself, but so far no solution)
- ...

All of this would be solved by Plex/WiiM enabling the WiIM devices as endpoints for the native Plex apps. I suggest you use the feedback form in the WiiM Home App and do a feature request like the rest of us

Really appreciate the response Pieter. What a shame, so nearly perfect for my needs, but not quite.

If your friend is on Android he could use Symfonium to access your Plex server and cast to his WiiM.

I'd imagine the remote server restriction has been imposed by Plex rather than WiiM.

For the moment (possibly a long moment) I've pointed him at PlexAmp on his iPhone with the cast option.

With PlexAmp you're limited to Chromecast (lacks gapless playback), and there was/is some incompatibility, I think with the Ultra, where all streams were being transcoded, but I don't know of a better option on iOS.

On iOS you can cast from PlexAmp to WiiM via Chromecast or (apart from Ultra) via AirPlay.
