Player Version#:

When scanning a QR code on my android device, that should take me to watch a YouTube video, it opens Plexamp instead. I cannot find a setting anywhere that would keep this from happening.

It did not do this prior to Plexamp being installed. Is there something I’m missing?

We should only be capturing URLs headed for listen.plex.tv, not YouTube, so I’m not sure what’s going on here.

This should not be happening, are you able to send me (DM is OK) the QR code please?

Also what is your device/Android version?

Here is the QR code that keeps opening Plexamp. It should be going to a YouTube video.

Here is a QR code on the same owner’s manual, that does take me to the correct location.

Not that you asked for a stranger to say anything, but I tested it on my Google Pixel 7 Pro and it took me to the correct places. I’m not sure why you’re getting taken to plexamp.
