So i just saw the post here about harmonoid. Very good looking app, but it’s only for a local music library.

I have mounted the iscsi disk that i also use for my plex library so i could just use harmonoid to play my plex music.

But that’s not what i want. I want to be able to use the playlists i make on plex, use the files for which i made custom metadata etc.

I know the plexamp app is available on linux. But i see that it’s basically just the android app ported to linux and the whole UI is absolute garbage for a desktop imho.

So does someone know a good open-source desktop music player that syncs with my plex library and playlists? I really like symfonium on my android phone for it’s customizations but it’s not available on linux…but something like that? Or something like harmonoid but with plex support?

Thanks !

    Hmm, not sure what else sorry. Perhaps look into setting audio controls per app and adjust them for the Plex app?

      nah that’s only one part of the problem…my philosophy is that i want dedicated apps for every thing i want to do.

      I don’t want to use a browser to play my music, i want a browser to browse the internet and a music player to play my music. Because that way i can get the best results when i use a specialized app for every specific thing i want to do. You know, the fundamental linux philosophy^^

        Are you talking about the Plex app or Plexamp? I think Plexamp does have an EQ (and crossfading, but it’s just a toggle), and the UI is fine for me.

          The Plex App is basically just the web version inside electron afaik.

          Plexamp is the ported android version with a touchscreen in mind. I really dislike this application on my linux desktop. On android its really good. But not made for desktop…

        A browser does one thing: display web pages. If your media player is presented as a web page, a browser is a perfectly suitable choice.

            Mount your music drive and play it with any desktop audio players. Or switch to jellyfin which has a number of compatible players.
