Plexamp Siri shortcuts

Hi,
I wanted to try out Plexamp with Siri but when asking her to “Play Library Radio with Plexamp” she just responds with the following:

“Plexamp hasn’t added support for that with Siri.”
And gives me a button to open Plexamp.

Am I doing something wrong here?
How is this supposed to work?

Technical details:
iOS 14.0.1
iPhone 11
Plexamp Version 3.2.0

Go into the shortcuts app, Gallery tab, Shortcuts from Your Apps > Plexamp.

Ah, so that’s how it’s done.
Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Addendum:

„Play Library Radio on Plexamp“ still gives the same negative response. But since the shortcut’s suggested phrase was just „Play Library Radio“ that exact phrase now plays in Plexamp and no longer in Apple Music.

I‘m happy :slightly_smiling_face:

I found this, the options are “love current track” “hate current track” "play all downloaded tracks, play library radio.

love/hate - never use. - Downloaded? got a big data plan - I stream direct, rather than downloading. Library Radio - not even sure that that is?

That isn’t much - I was hoping for something light "hey siri - tell plex to play playlist rocknroll, or play artist beatles, or play album or even better “siri tell plex to add this track to playlist xyz”

Hi, is possible to use siri shortcut to play specific artist on library? Thank you.

Any chance we could get a shortcut for random album radio?

You might already know this, but you can now ask for anything you want w/o a shortcut, e.g. “Hey Siri, play Radiohead on Plexamp”

I think we can do that!

That was darn fast landing as an update. :wink:

Any chance will ever see HomePod direct streaming support now that Apple just discontinued it? Amazing they take years to allow third parties access and then promptly kill it off… :frowning:

Out of interest, is there a list of all the Siri voice commands that can be used with PlexAmp?

Unknown. I submitted a request to them a few months ago and never heard back :man_shrugging:

From the release notes thread: Plexamp Release Notes - #23 by elan

play rap music in plexamp
play happy music in plexamp
play with a little help from my friends in plexamp
play with a little help from my friends by the artist joe cocker in plexamp
play the recently added playlist on plexamp
find taylor swift in plexamp
show me the brand new playlist in plexamp
add this track to my testing playlist

Thanks for the Siri commands - I knew I’d seen them somewhere but couldn’t remember where. Main reason for asking was to see if I could get Siri to start shuffling a particular playlist.

That’s rather disconcerting and mirrors my experience with the developer program support and trying to get responses. :frowning:

Appreciate the candid response.
