  • plexdlnaplayer

    There is no built in way to cast Plex music to DLNA speakers. This project will be the bridge.

    • If you want to use Plex they dont show up as speakers though (limitation of plex dlna implementation iirc, but there are ways to "discover" them, such as https://github.com/songchenwen/plexdlnaplayer). i haven't been able to use plexamp though (Airplay works as fallback for me if i want to play something that wont work in app), but it works like a charm through the HA music player, with plex as DLNA server.
