plex-mpv-shim VS finamp

You could also use something like https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim

My best client experience is nvidia shield, and using plex-shim-mpv. It uses mpv as the client and supports every format I watch, specifically ASS subtitles for anime get direct played.

I found this thread: https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim/issues/31 It seems that changing the config to use http (insecured connection) may solve this issue. I have remote access enabled and I'm signed in to the Plex server, so maybe that's why I didn't have those issues.

I just don't worry about it until I try and watch the movie and it has black bars, then I just use plex-mpv-shim to watch it, and handbrake it after.

Have you tried this? I use it all the time when watching stuff on Plex. It direct plays every thing I have minus 4K. Note it doesn’t offer the Plex gui. Instead I used my phone to find what I wanted using the Plex app and then cast it to the player

The plex experience in a browser was never great for me, whether it was transcoding or subtitles. Once I started using plex-mpv-shim, all those problems went away and it's a fast and seamless experience with directplay every time.

I have Jellyfin setup alongside Plex, and the one thing that's keeping me from moving fully off Plex is Plexamp [1]. It works flawlessly on my phone/laptops, includes a ton of features and is a pleasure to use - especially compared to Spotify or Apple Music.

I am aware of FinAmp [2] and music players for Jellyfin, but they aren't comparable to PlexAmp yet.

Use Finamp.

Ah ok, I've been looking into OPUS transcoding in Finamp, it should be possible on Android. There are a few bugs with Jellyfin that makes it a bit awkward, which can be seen here

Sonixd is great, I also want to release Finamp on desktop at some point (I am the developer :) )

The changelog can be found at https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases/tag/0.6.11

I use finamp for This!

Note that the donation is to me personally. Some other Finamp contributors also have a sponsor page, such as Chaphasilor, who's been the main person behind the redesign.

I listen to music on my phone with Gelli. This does not scrobble music either. I'm open to switching apps but finamp seems also not to support scrobbling.
