Support for plex

[amino]

Hello,
Here's another vote for supporting plex as a media source. It should be possible considering other apps such as Symphonium have done it.

If it mirrors that, you should not need Plex Pass for the mere act of "casting" from the app to your device. You would get gapless bit-perfect playback, but would miss out on "sweet fades" and other features that are specific to Plexamp.

In a previous post I linked to a Lumin site that stated a Plex Pass subscription is required if casting from the PlexAmp app, but that could have been dated from when the PlexAmp app was subscription only.

I use RoPieee and if I want to use the PlexAmp interface then I need a Plex Pass subscription, as you do if you want to use PlexAmp on the rpi, so I'd be very surprised if the PlexAmp app works with a PlexAmp endpoint on WiiM hardware subscription free, but who knows.

A "PlexAmp" interface in the WiiM app would be madness (from a Plex perspective), but that's not to say it won't happen.
