This maybe a very niche market to please, but from experience would allow seamless integration between every DJ within my business (and many other multi DJ businesses)
Many DJ apps (such as DJay Pro 2) offer Tidal/Spotify and other streaming services to DJ directly from…If we could do this through Plex it would allow us to play our OWN music that is stored on a server (even if it was used as a backup) at any event.
So… what exactly are you asking for?
Is this about accessing your Plex libraries incl. your linked Tidal from a different app? Which specific app is this?
Access to my Plex Media within DJ Software to allow my DJ’s to essentially stream the music, but they would be streaming from the server (owned) media.
The app we run is DJay Pro 2 from Algorithm. I did shoot them a message as well in case they are better suited to integrate this.
This sounds like something that would constitute “commercial” use of Plex, which would be in violation of the Terms of Service.
Even though my media is legally sourced and licensed? I didn’t know that :(.
It has nothing to do with your media. It has to do with the use of the Plex software itself.
I may be wrong, I’m no expert. Just something to be aware of.
Interesting…Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Hello everyone,
I believe there is a great opportunity for collaboration between Plex and Engine DJ that could significantly improve the modern DJ workflow and bring a real cloud-native solution into our industry.
Right now, Engine DJ does not yet offer true remote streaming or cloud access to a music library, and DJs must still copy libraries manually to USB/SSD devices or perform long exports. Meanwhile, Plex already provides a complete and mature infrastructure for local & remote streaming, secure access, NAS support, mobile apps, and excellent media management.
A direct integration between Engine DJ and Plex could enable:
– full streaming access to a DJ’s music library (local & remote)
– playlist preparation and track preview from any location
– instant sync of changes to Denon players without exporting USB drives
– elimination of duplicate libraries and time-consuming file copying
– modern workflow that matches the reality of 2026
This collaboration feels like the fastest and most realistic way to achieve a powerful cloud-enabled DJ ecosystem, without Engine having to build a streaming platform from scratch. Plex already has what Engine is missing, and Engine has the professional performance hardware. Together, they could create something truly unique in the DJ world.
I really believe many DJs would love and appreciate this development.
Thank you for considering this idea!

I totally agree with you! And yes, the idea is not about public streaming or content distribution, but simply private access to our own legally owned music library in the cloud.
For many DJs (mobile / wedding / corporate / club), cloud access to our own library would be a huge improvement — instant backup, remote playlist preparation, and no more exporting big USB drives.
Streaming from Plex to DJ software or hardware (like Engine DJ) would allow us to use our own music securely anywhere, similar to Tidal/Beatport etc., but with our personal collection.
This would be a real step forward — hope developers see the value!
