Server Version#: 4.34.4  
Player Version#: 3.2.2

I am running Plexamp on my Mac and iPhone. In Plexamp on my iPhone I can select the Plex web player on my Mac and use my phone as a remote, however doing this I lose all of the great features of Plexamp (e.g. Fades), however when I have the Plexamp app open on my Mac, I cannot see it in the Cast menu, and cannot control it with my phone.

Atm Plexamp cannot be controlled. It can only control, itself.

Is this functionality going to be added? If so, what’s the time frame? Thanks!

Yes, it’s coming. No deadlines, though.
