A TV remote with skip buttons might work. You can't easily skip tracks with the CCwGTV remote but you can play/pause and jump 10s or 30s at a time.

Otherwise, you're going to get conflicts between what's picked by Guest DJ on PlexAmp vs what's picked by Guest DJ on the Plex client. This gives an arguably better now playing screen with an up next and also jumps the album image and text around which would be good for OLEDs. Only one device should be making decisions about your play queue at a time. Even if the regular Plex client had built-in Guest DJ, it shouldn't be getting turned on when casting from a different device with Guest DJ. After disconnecting, the play queue remains as it last was when PlexAmp disconnected.Īnd that's the way it should work when casting. Over on the other Plex client, those same two tracks also got added to the play queue. Then I turned on Guest DJ Freeze, which added two tracks immediately after the current one on PlexAmp. I confirmed that the play queue was identical between the two. I restarted PlexAmp with an empty queue, connected to my TCL Roku TV, and started a playlist. I'm saying that the Guest DJ on PlexAmp is going to continue modifying the play queue on your other Plex Client while they're connected.Īnd it does. I'm not saying that the plex client supports Guest DJ, in the sense that it's going to continue modifying the play queue even when disconnected. But trust me, if you get through the opening screen and get it set up, it does actually work really well as a remote target!

And the Android app is exactly the same apk on a phone as it is on GoogleTV - it's just nobbled on GTV to not work properly! It should, at least, have a single button in the middle of the screen when you install it - that is reachable by TV remote - for connecting to your server, and from there act like a headless device (which is in effect what it now does, given you can no longer access anything other than the Play screen on a TV device - you used to be able to control the entire PlexAmp app from a controller/remote app.) It's frustrating, and I had a long back and forth with u/elanfeingold a couple of years back about all this, the upshot of which was the development of the headless client which he felt was a much better way of managing the situation, despite the fact that many of us have our best sound systems connected to our TV already. A game controller also works, if you can connect one to a Firestick somehow? I used the NVidia Shield TV app which probably only works with the Shield, but there are others that purport to emulate a mouse. Available on almost any device, Plex is the first-and-only streaming platform to offer free ad-supported movies, shows, and Live TV together with the ability to. Ah, yes - you'll need something that acts as a mouse to control the cursor initially - just to get to the "Connect using the Website" button.
