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.
Mount your music drive and play it with any desktop audio players. Or switch to jellyfin which has a number of compatible players.
As i said, i already have my drive mounted. but i wanted something that uses the plex API directly so i can always have the synced playlists.
I dont think thats a fundamental Linux philosophy
it is, thats what people hate about systemd
If you're so worried about the 'Linux philosophy' then why use Plex at all?
