So i just saw the post here about harmonoid. Very good looking app, but it’s only for a local music library.
I have mounted the iscsi disk that i also use for my plex library so i could just use harmonoid to play my plex music.
But that’s not what i want. I want to be able to use the playlists i make on plex, use the files for which i made custom metadata etc.
I know the plexamp app is available on linux. But i see that it’s basically just the android app ported to linux and the whole UI is absolute garbage for a desktop imho.
So does someone know a good open-source desktop music player that syncs with my plex library and playlists? I really like symfonium on my android phone for it’s customizations but it’s not available on linux…but something like that? Or something like harmonoid but with plex support?
Thanks !
nah that’s only one part of the problem…my philosophy is that i want dedicated apps for every thing i want to do.
I don’t want to use a browser to play my music, i want a browser to browse the internet and a music player to play my music. Because that way i can get the best results when i use a specialized app for every specific thing i want to do. You know, the fundamental linux philosophy^^
At this point web browsers are essentially operating systems themselves capable of running a wide variety of specialised apps.
Are you talking about the Plex app or Plexamp? I think Plexamp does have an EQ (and crossfading, but it’s just a toggle), and the UI is fine for me.
The Plex App is basically just the web version inside electron afaik.
Plexamp is the ported android version with a touchscreen in mind. I really dislike this application on my linux desktop. On android its really good. But not made for desktop…
A browser does one thing: display web pages. If your media player is presented as a web page, a browser is a perfectly suitable choice.
Yes, but i don’t want to play my music via a web player. That’s the point. Therefore a web browser is not a suitable choice for me to play my music.
