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 !

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.
