Big fan of Plex and even bigger fan of Plexamp. A few questions from me.

  1. Is external video player playback for the Android Plex client on the roadmap?

  2. On my Android phone, I have download quality on WiFi set to original. But when i download videos, often it transcodes anyway. The odd thing is that I can direct play these files that are being transcoded. How can I fix this, or is this just a bug?

  3. In Plexamp, in the Search tab can we please have the ability to easily switch music libraries. So I can choose which library or libraries are being searched? There is an drop down menu in the home tab that if placed in the Search tab would be useful.

4 I’d love to hear more about the development plans for Plexamp and any upcoming features and changes.

Thanks Plex team for your hard work!
