SAMSUNG Wireless Speakers WAM-350 & WAM-550 with PLEX

I have 6 of these (3 / WAM-350) (3 / WAM-550) [ https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/wam-m3-m5-m7-wi-fi-bluetooth-speaker ]

Here are the specs for these:

Audio Processing: Dolby DigitalReady - DTSReady

AV Decoding Format: WAVUp to 44.1kHz/16bit - MP3Up to 320kbps - WMA (Yes) - OGG (Yes) - FLAC (Up to 44.1kHz/16bit) - AACDRM (free only)

Connectivity: USB (Service Only) - Bluetooth®2.1 + EDR - AllShare™ (DLNA / Yes) - TV SoundConnect (Yes) - NFC Tag Built-in (Yes)

There is an APP you can install on Windows and control/stream to these as well as an Android/iOS app. I would ike to use them to stream from PLEX over the network to them.

They do support DLNA (which I have not enabled yet on my server).

Would it be possible to use these with PLEX? I have reviewed the other topics posted, but found no definitive answer.

If these are not supported - are there any speakers which could replace these (have them all through the house) to stream music?

Unfortunately not. Casting to generic DLNA players is not supported.

Plex can only cast to other “real” Plex clients.
It can also stream to Sonos
and from the web app running in the Chrome Browser (and from Android mobile) it can also stream to Chromecast.

Thank You… I know these are OLD. They work great, it is a shame that nobody supports them - I think that SAMSUNG does not really even support them any more. :frowning:

What is meant by this item in the list of RECEIVER ONLY PLEX APPS?

  • Samsung Smart Hub (v2.006+, third-party)

    What is that? Is this the SMART HUB which runs on my Samsung TV? I have the PLEX App installed on my Samsung TV and it works great.

??? - Is there a specific SONOS which is supported?

“Samsung Smarthub” in Plex use refers to the old Plex client app by Orca, which runs on Samsung models up to 2014 (2015?).

“Samsung Tizen” refers to Samsung models from model year 2016 on. In the article, it is enclosed in the “Smart TV” category.

As for Sonos support, I can only give you this:
