[FEATURE REQUEST] Better Integration with HEOS

Currently it seems like Plex works with the Sonos home system, but not with the HEOS system. I would dearly love to see this implemented as Plex is such a wonderful web client. Plex is available on the HEOS via DLNA and the Plex Media Server feature but the PMS does not enable playlists. So when we make playlists in the Plex web client, they are not available in the HEOS app, and when we make playlists in the HEOS app, they are not available in Plex.
From my perspective, there are two ways to accomplish this: 1) As PMS already does work as a DLNA feature with HEOS, just make the playlists feature available on PMS or, more ambitiously 2) Make plex a valid music source for HEOS, alongside things like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, etc.

For more discussion on this please see here

Is this likely to ever be implemented??? Hello??

This should be definitely a top priority as Denon is much more audiophile company than Sonos. Denon (Heos) gear has better hardware (amps, elements) and better connectivity.

Yes, I agree! So how do we mobilize people around here to make this happen? Have you voted on the feature requests?

Awesome! Any ideas about how to rally people to get Plex to adopt this or at least get a response out of Plex?

The more votes the higher the chances it might be considered at least I guess. But this is not a guarantee…

+1 from me too

Yah! Have you voted?

Yeah why not…

Added a vote as this is a feature I’d love to see

Just finished setting up Plex Media Server on a Windows 2019 Server. Not super difficult but not a simple click and install. Was excited about many of the features. Did not even occur to me that Plex has really poor DLNA support. First my HEOS systems (Marantz and Denon) wouldn’t fined the m3u playlist. No problem I thought, Plex has these really nice automatic play lists. Well when they didn’t work my next google search brought me here.

Guess I am switching back to serviio. My only complaint with that was the album art images are served in low resolution. Guess I can live with that.

Could you vote on this feature, at least? Thanks! I may try Serviio though as well, as Enby is great, but is missing some good features with its Android integration! Please vote here!

Please just bring this feature and then I could cancel my spotify and easily stream my sound on my multiroom setup with heos.

At the moment I have to use bluetooth (so I have to stay in range) or use the DLNA solution witch is pretty unhandy to get fast to your music.

or buying an chromecast audio from ebay :frowning:
