PlexAmp casting oddities when Plex for Windows is running

Hi @captain_caveman2k,

Let me try and answer your questions point-by-point :slight_smile:

  1. Plexamp is not yet able to be a cast receiver. The feature is planned, but no roadmap or timeline is yet available. This is why it can see Plex for Windows, but Plex for Windows can’t see it.

  2. Strange. I’m not entirely sure why you’re seeing that. If you press the refresh button at the top right of the cast menu, does it update to the correct track?

  3. This was a conscious design decision, as many people don’t change the device name in Plexamp’s advanced settings. “This Device” is therefore more recognisable than the default app name (for platforms like iOS and Android, the default is the OS name, and not super-distinguishable).

  4. Probably a valid point! I’ll raise that with the right people and see if I can get some thoughts on this for you :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the feedback and for using Plexamp!
