I want to be able to stream live music to plex, and listen remotely. Similar to what Shoutcast and Icecast do, but I’d feel more comfortable with Plex’s username and password, https
You mean something like aggregating internet radios or live audio streams into Plex?
There used to be a suggestion discussing such an option but it was closed with regards to a note in the feature suggestion guidelines on integration of 3rd party sources.
My own audio. I currently use Rocket Broadcaster with Icecast, but trolls are always trying to hack my Icecast.
I literally just posted a reply to another guy whose a DJ.
I’ll reiterate that Plex is for PERSONAL USAGE. It’s ToS even states that it’s a Personal Media Server. It was never meant for commercial usage in my mind or in their manifesto. Use Sam Broadcaster if you are doing internet radio. Plex does not provide that functionality and it’s never been a part of it’s functionality since it’s inception.
Additionally, have you not checked out any of the other apps located here: 3rd Party Applications — Icecast
This IS for personal use. If you read what I wrote, i have been using Icecast. But plex seems more secure.
I want it to stream audio from my software, not Plex or Plexamp. Until they have REAL smart playlists, Plex player isn’t the solution.
Plex is it’s own ecosystem now. It has its very own API to work with some third party apps. In the last 5+ years they have made it extremely clear that they have no interest in allowing other uses for their server and clients since they shutdown what was known as Plug-ins, which MIGHT have given you a small fraction of that functionality. That’s no longer the case now. It’s a walled garden. I don’t know what else to tell you other than it’s not going to suit your needs.
PlexAmp compliments the use of Plex Server and nothing else. Plex Server doesn’t work with much of anything else unless it’s a utility or reads from its database. Streaming your own audio from another app INTO Plex wasn’t its use case, but feel free to create a voting post for it.
Everyone can disregard. I had a thought pop into my head, and it works. I just plugged my digital RF Modulator and stream it as Live TV. Giddyup!!!
