Plexamp Siri ‚Play Library radio‘ does not work

Hello together,

i cannot get Siri to play library radio.
Super useful while driving.
Whenever i say „play library radio“ or „play music“ like mentioned in the forums, plexamp starts playing, but only continues the song and queue that was paused already.
So if a single album was running, it simply continues with that one album.

In some years-old postings on the forums it was mentioned that defined shortcuts should be listed in Shortcuts → Gallery → All apps → Plexamp, but Plexamp does not show up at all in the gallery anymore, i assume changes in iOS happened in between.

Has anybody got a hint / idea how the „play library radio“ can be executed using Siri?

thanks

Unfortunately Siri doesn’t provide support for that sort of custom station. However, if you say “Siri, play music” and nothing is playing in Plexamp, it’ll start Library Radio.

Hmm well, sad to hear.
Especially because according to the forums this seemed to work already in 2021.

My main way of listening in the car is either a single artist/album or „random all“, which is the library radio to me.
„Play “ and „Play “ works great, are you aware of any other shortcut I could use to switch to „random all“-mode, without fiddling around on the mobile phone or car display?

How is it possible that nothing is played in plexamp? It always leaves the last song there, even when clearing the playlist there is still an active song selected.

Thanks!

just make a smart playlist with all tracks and ask Siri to shuffle it

Thanks, I have done so and named the smart playlist „music“
Now, while driving, I can tell Siri to “play music“ and i get what i want, thank you!

“play music” or “shuffle music” may produce different results, I’m not 100% sure.

Whenever I say “Siri, play playlist “name of playlist” and shuffle” it ALWAYS plays the wrong playlist. Cannot get Siri to work correctly. Sure wish this would work.
EDIT: Even leaving out the shuffle part it ALWAYS plays the wrong playlist even though I state the exact name of the playlist.

Unfortunately without a Plexamp log showing what Siri heard, it’s impossible to help.
