Add option for autoplay to start guest dj

In plexamp, you have the option to enable autoplay, which will play another album from the artists you’re listening to when it ends

Id like to see the addition of an option for autoplay, that lets you choose to start a guest dj based on the queue instead.

Guest DJs are focusing on expanding a play queue, e.g. by inserting tracks based on what’s already in your queue. Now that a queue has run empty… what should continue?

Isn’t that basically already covered by existing options like going for an album/track/artist/genre radio station?

I use guest dj and radio interchangeably - the point is, when my current queue stops, the only option for autoplay is, as far as I can see, to play the next/previous album from the current artists.

Having an option to automatically start a radio, DJ Freeze, or something similar based on the last track before the queue ends would be cool, instead of just having the music stop.

If you’ve enabled auto-play, you should see a card representing what Plex will play at the bottom of the play queue. You can swipe that card left/right and pick from a number of options… playing the next album is one of them, but you can also start various radios based on what’s playing.

As far as I can tell, that currently isn’t the case - am i missing something?

I know I can go to the related tab and choose a sonically similar / related track, but this doesnt autoplay

Your screenshot looks like you just added a single track to your queue. From what I remember, auto-play will only trigger if there’s a queue created (e.g. by playing an artist / album / …).

Here’s how this will look:

Hmm thats weird. Above is just me playing a single - here is an example by playing an album - I am unfortunately still not seeing any autoplay

You do. It’s the card / box at the bottom of your queue:

Silence

The party is over.

You can swipe that box (left/right) to select other auto-play options.

Oh you totally can, I would have never guessed! And after setting it to track radio, it seems to work even after app restarts or starting new tracks. If you had not told me, I would have never guessed I had to swipe it, tysm. Maybe what it needs is some UI love then? :wink:

2025 clean-up: Option already available (implemented)
