So we got Free version of Plexamp :)
I tried it on Linux Mint and I’m directed to FlatHub, which states:
★★ You’ll need a Plex Media Server and an active Plex Pass to use this app ★★
Installed it anyway, but:
I guess they didn’t update that version yet?
Edit ~24 hours later: I just got the update. It works now.
Edit 2: … but media keys don’t seem to work :(Too little to late imo. I long switched to jellyfin and can use all the features that plexamp offered for free in various apps of my choosing
which apps? I tried jellyfin and plexamp works better than any of the jellyfin android music players I tried.
Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat
Plex has to be one thing where I like the bloat. It makes it feel like a fully featured streaming service that I control instead of just a fancy looking video folder.
If Jellyfin had a good Xbox app I would switch immediately.
If you don’t mind using Xbox Media Player you can enable dlna in jellyfin. It’s how I typically stream to my smart tv
Doesn’t hold a candle to the plex setup. I might be able to deal with it, but I would miss the UI, and my wife wouldn’t go for it at all.
Why use this over Spotify? I don’t actually own music so is there any advantage for me?
