I have my stereo connected to my Plex server computer through a DAC. Is there a way to control the “session” of Plexamp on my server computer from Plexamp on my phone/laptop while on the same network? Other players like Spotify and Roon have this capability but I can’t figure it out on Plexamp.

I wouldn’t mind streaming via my Chromecast Audio but Plexamp cannot do gapless playback and my impression is they don’t anticipate being able to fix that anytime soon. Plexamp also cannot cast from the laptop version, so it only works on the phone.

I apologize, I’m sure this is covered elsewhere but I find these forums impossible to navigate. Thanks for any help!

There’s limitations with Chromecast due to the Sonos IP patent legal battle.

“Controlability” of Plexamp will come shortly. This has nothing to do with Chromecast.

Thank you! Desperately forward to controlability. I will become a true PlexAmp evangelist once I can play direct from the server computer and control it from my laptop/phone. Cheers.
