Need to restart Plexamp to pick up audio device (Mac)

Looks like I need to restart Plexamp for it to be able to pick up changes in audio devices. If I have disconnected my bluetooth heaphones and reconnect them playing on Plexamp seemingly outputs nowhere (but based on all indications it’s playing somewhere). Application restart helps and music starts to get outputted to the system selected device again.

Running Mac OS 10.13.2

Agreed, I had to restart Plexamp to get it to pick up my bluetooth headphones. All the rest of my audio played through the headphones, but Plexamp just kept on playing through my laptop speakers.

Yep, known issue. Will be fixed, probably early next year as our audio expect is busy doing christmassy things
