Being a PlexPASS member now and this section is for new features, I want to bring another great feature into the discussion here again: PLEX as DLNA Control Point I had already started a thread on this a while ago here , but it got quiet in the meantime. Here’s what I have in mind: …

Hi, how can this feature been asked since nearly 10 years and still totally ignored by developers? You’ll find post about it everywhere on the forum… [image] Push Content to DLNA Renderers Desktops & Laptops I would like to inquire as to why there is currently no feature…

I’m on Linux, using pulseaudio-dlna and this does the job.

Still nothing? Would love this. I used Emby for a while just for DLNA music playback. Got tired of maintaining Plex for video content and Emby purely for music- if Plex had this I’d not need anything else.

+1. My main reason for trying Plex was to use it to stream my local music to audio equipment in the home.

Another BIG +1 for Plex(amp) working as DLNA server! It’s a shame to get such awesome browsing experience while it’s not possible to offload the stream to the Raspberry PI in my stereo setup. While I also have a Chromecast audio, it doesn’t play sample-accurate.

If you’re running the 64-bit version of moOde I’d expect you to be able to install Plexamp using the information in the link I provided. You can then control it via Plexamp on your phone/tablet/computer or its built-in web UI. I’d recommend giving it a shot.

Seems like I wouldn’t be the first one to try this and it does create some complications at the moment: https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=1113
