Server Version#: 1.32.8  
Player Version#: plexamp 4.9.1

Radios are great, but I’d like to have more control on them.  
For example, I’d like to launch a random album radio for one or more specified artist, not the whole library (because I’m in the mood for them and not others).  
I haven’t found a way to do that quickly.

Another one is the autoplay after an album. Adding the next/previous album for this artist is okay, but it could be greatly improved with the possibility to launch a configurable radio instead.

How about `Artist Mix Builder`?

You can swipe the card at the bottom of the up next section to pick from

- silence → end playback
- next album
- similar album
- artist mix
- artist radio
- track radio (based on final track in the queue)
- a random(?) radio, e.g. „The 2020s“
- library radio

This create songs mixes where I’m looking for albums mixes (this is super important for me, cf [Android auto: next album from hardware keys - Plex Labs - Plex Forum](https://forums.plex.tv/t/android-auto-next-album-from-hardware-keys/862531))

At the bottom of the track in the player? I don’t see it, cf capture (I deactivated autoplay here)

With autoplay I only get the next album of the current artist (is there a way to have miniatures of image uploads?)

Can you swipe the box that says `Album suivant` to the left/right?

You should be able to select a % when uploading an image to define the size used to display inline. You can also assign any %age when editing your post (see the change I’ve made to your previous post, adding `,25%` as a suffix to the image code)

Indeed, that’s good. 🙂  
I would prefer something more automated (@ work focused, or for android auto) but it will work for the time being
