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 !

    But as i said, i don’t like that fact that the linux desktop app is basically just the ported android app. The user interface is clearly made with a touchscreen in mind.

      Same on windows, it’s weird at first but you get used to it. Probably the best option if you must go through the Plex server.

        That’s why i asked specifically for people to recommend me players that can access plex. Because i don’t want to get used to it^^

      Plexamp works fine with a mouse for me. Kinda reminds me of winamp in some ways. How long did you try using it for? Yes it’d just the android app ported but I feel like thats a good thing for it.

        I just don’t like the UI on a desktop. It works beautifully on a phone, i don’t like it on the desktop.
