Hi Rose team,
Would you guys please consider Plex App? As I use Plex to manage my music libraries. A lot of people who has servers uses Plex too here in the UK.

Hello,
We read all posts. No reply doesn’t mean we haven’t read it. However, depending on the circumstances, it may take a long time to check.
Dear Roselda
Have you taken any steps or plans to integrate with PLEX in the near future ?
I cannot find this information in the forum

Hello,
I’m sorry but no plan for DLNA/UPnP server and PLEX yet.
Hello.
Are there any news regarding the implementation of Plex? I am really a potential buyer of the RS150. However, it looks that its capabilities of being a player of external apps like Plex or HQ Player, are very limited. And there is no sign of moving from this present situation. Other competitors like Sonore and Antipodes are more flexible and open in this field. It could be a great advantage for Rose to load its very competitive product with this capabilities. If not, is like having a great swiss army knife, but without any chance to use it.
Hello ridom,
Thank you for your interest about ROSE.
I understand Plex / HQ player are good apps that are widely used.
However, according to development plan, it seems to be difficult to be updated in near future.
I apologize for giving you a bad news.
Many thx for your answer. And just for knowing. Do you know if those apps are installed in an external core, like a NUC, and Roon is in the system, can they be “read” and “played” by the Rose?
Curious, are there any other ways to play from Plex on the Rose RS520?
If you enable DLNA server in Plex you should be able to play to Rose (might need to enable DLNA on the Rose as well, it’s the little icon on the upper right of the main screen, next to the toggles for Spotify Connect and Airplay.

Thanks for the tip. I did what you mentioned but i don’t see my plex server on my rs-250a. How can access my library on my rs-250a?
I think rs-250a only acts as a dlna server as i can see it on my windows pc.
But why can I then use a DLNA player (Elmedia Player) to send my music to the Rose via this player, which is on my Macbook (music is also on the Macbook), and it plays the music.
Of course, the corresponding folders (Plex & MyMusic/Video) may need to have “share” for the device that accesses them.
A media server must be running, otherwise your devices, whether Roon software or something else, will not “see” them.
The media server provides a special protocol, DLNA.
I don’t have much experience with Plex…wait for @BorisM.

I don’t think you will see it from the Rose itself (I haven’t messed with DLNA in a long time, Roon is so much nicer). But I think you would need to do it from Plex or some DLNA controller. As I recall, e.g. Synology’s DS Audio which is the same kind of thing, sees the Rose as a playback device, and from there I could send music to Rose. Should work the same with Plex.

Plex doesn’t see rs-250a, the only thing i can do is sent music via airplay. Does airplay send the music file as native or does compressed it?
That’s what I meant by…

Are you using a switch???
Sometimes the corresponding broadcasts are no longer distributed.
Restart the switch.
You can also block access for certain devices in the media server. Has an entry slipped in there?
Uncheck the box “Restrict access to newly detected UPNP/DLNA devices”.

Airplay gets tricky, depending on where you are sending and to, but I don’t do Apple, so not sure on details. Airplay2 will most likely send compressed AAC.
On the Rose though, Airplay and DLNA are turned on separately. In Rose Connect look at the Streaming menu, you need to see something like

Yeah, Plex has a toggle in advanced configuration to turn DLNA server on.

Yes i got this on my android phone. So strange on my ipad i got only the spotify option.
That’s really not top quality, I thought airplay 2 send in 96/24
My windows11 pc is connected by wifi 6
I found on app store mconnect and it can find my rs-250a and send the music to it.
I try to find that option in plex but didn’t find it
