Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I’m trying to create a script that will adjust my plexamp queue based on my activity, but I’ve encountered a strange behaviour in plexamp. The remote control feature works great on Wi-Fi, but once my device switches to mobile data, the port closes for some reason. I have tested running a HTTP server in termux and that works fine, so I’m pretty sure this is related to plexamp. This means that all of these methods of remote control don’t work:
- controlling plexamp via localhost (when on data)
- controlling plexamp over LAN when it’s creating a hotspot
- controlling plexamp via VPN
I don’t see a reason for this restriction. Telecom providers usually have a firewall, so it shouldn’t be a security concern. Or perhaps it’s to improve battery? Either way please add the option to have remote control always enabled. I wasn’t able to find any workaround via alternative routing, settings, developer settings or ADB, but I’m not an android dev, so I might have missed something.
Another proof it should work is that when I switch Wi-Fi off, the port stays open for about a minute where the app can be controlled remotely via VPN over mobile data before the self-imposed closing.
Any help would be welcome. Thank you.
