I’m having an issue when I pause the music then hit the play button nothing happens. The button turns from the play button from pause, but the counter does not continue and no sound. Switching songs does not help. I have to quit out of Plexamp in order to get music to play again.

I can confirm it (Windows 10 with v1.0.1). But! I don’t have to restart Plexamp just wait about 10sec after hitting play button again.

Ok – maybe I am losing it, but it is working now. Sorry for the false post…

I’ve just tried pausing, and indeed pressing play again induces an unavoidable 8-10s delay before music starts.

Windows 10 Enterprise fwiw.

We’ll look into the Windows resume issue.
