Important 2025 Plex Updates
www.plex.tv
Personal Media and Beyond You’re going to be hearing a lot from us this year—we’ve got a ton of exciting...

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

    Plexamp is (or at least was) pretty awesome. It requires plex and plex pass for its full features. Jellyfin doesn’t have anything remotely comparable (though you could always just run Lyrion).

      Have you tried Symfonium? I liked Plexamp too, but I think Symfonium is even better, and it’s compatible with just about any music server.

        Been looking for a Plexamp alternative for a minute, I’ll check this out. Appreciate the recommendation.

        See my previous comment, I’m 100% on board with Lyrion server and client these days.

        I only use Plexamp now for local music when I’m driving.
