Hi all,
I’ve been having a weird recurring issue with the Plex Android app where my Music library just doesn’t appear, even though it shows up perfectly on:
Plex Web on my computer
My phone browser via http://192.168.1.13:32400/web
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
What works:
The Music library exists and works on a desktop
It’s accessible via the local web URL on my phone
Server is set to “Fully Accessible” in Settings > Remote Access
Running the latest Plex Media Server (just updated manually)
No restrictions in user permissions, and the library is marked as “include on home screen”
What I’ve already tried:
Reinstalling the Android app (temporarily worked, then failed again)
Clearing app cache and data
Signing in/out
Creating a new Music library — that one also didn’t appear
Testing both on Wi-Fi and mobile data
Tried to manually connect via IP, but the new app version doesn’t show that option anymore under Advanced Settings
Thanks,
Joseph.

Assuming you’re using the new experience app (version 2025.x)… Plex has started focusing music using their Plexamp app. Music libraries are no longer displayed in the “video” app.
Here are some feature changes that may affect you:
Personal Media features:
…
Music and Photos: We have built dedicated music and photo applications that are companions to the Plex app. Plexamp and Plex Photos are where access to music and photo libraries will live moving forward. As such, music and photos access will no longer be available within the regular Plex application when it gets updated to the new experience. Both companion apps are still in active development and can expect updates soon.
Thanks for the clarification — that makes sense now! I’ve gone ahead and installed Plexamp and will give it a go tomorrow. Appreciate the help
Not totally sure why it had to be split into three apps though… but oh well
None of us understand why either.
