I love the latest version of Plexamp for Android (Beta), but have noticed a couple of issues. When I choose genre radio, the same artist/albums keep showing up above and beyond the rest. Not sure if the algorithm that chooses them needs to be redone, or what but if I have a dozen albums from an a…

I guess that’s why I was mentioning that the filter/shuffle features work so great for me. It is a much more simplistic method to get the results for me. I know it probably isn’t as cool as having a mix builder, or radio, but that way I can achieve the results I’m looking for without all of the fuss…

style radio and genre radio are mutually exclusive. like you, I prefer my embedded metadata. we get genre radio. IMO mix builder > all. do note, there are 2 modes of mix builder (use the 3 dot menu); mix = only selected artists radio = selected artists + related/similar artists as for filters,…

That’s a lot of great information! Thanks for taking the time to post a reply. I’ll give that a try.

another mixbuilder tip: works best with 3-6 artists you may want to expand the ‘degrees of separation’ to 2 or 3 with a smaller library, 367 artists and 15 genre not likely to provide a lot of variety.

Is there any ETA on when the Randomness bug will be fixed for Plexamp? I have tried using the Genre or Mood radio features and it is constantly bringing up the same artists/albums and not even playing others at all. I would love to see this get resolved!

How do I update to the latest version? I’m currently on 1.18.0.1913 but I have no idea where you download the update.

The update process depends on your server platform. Some (Windows and Mac) should auto-update, if configured to. For Linux, downloading and then running the latest installer should do the trick: https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/ Edit: I should also note, you’re running a very old server …

Wow, I didn’t realize. I run mine on Nvidia Shield with an external hard drive. Do I update it through the Play Store?

I’ve not used PMS on the Shield, but my understanding is updates are managed through the Play Store like any other app, yeah :slight_smile:
