Hi. When I play music through my phone’s PLEX app, the music seems to have gapless playback, but when I use the online browser version, I cannot activate this feature. I have tried it on both Safari and Chrome. Is this forthcoming? I’m a jam-band fan (don’t let that deter you from helping me!) and would love to have this available.
It will come, eventually.
In the meantime, here is a workaround:
Gapless and loudness normalization was developed in plexamp.com first.
Install it and use it to listen to music.
If you find the plexamp user interface too restrictive, open the web app and connect it to plexamp and use Companion Playback.
Thank you for the quick reply. I will give this a try.
Is there true gapless in Plexamp now?
I seem to remember having to edit some obscure XML file to get an approximation to true gapless, in the form of a very short crossfade.
No changes on that yet.
You need to edit the file if you want to disable the overlapping of tracks.
Because regularly, gapless playback only happens if you are playing a full album.
The rest of the time it’s ‘overlapping’ of songs (the amount of which is determined individually for each song-to-song pair. The next version might bring a ‘settings’ menu where you can switch this off easily.)
Yep, I’m old and cranky, and thus have no use for any of this new-fangled «playlist» stuff. I want my classical music and Pink Floyd in albums, as nature intended.
So this is (or, more precisely, might well be) excellent news!
As I wrote above, if you play an album as such, it is pure gapless already.
