My router in 'media bridge' mode turns off its own WiFi and DHCP and becomes basically a fairly dumb client, to which I can plug in wired devices (the NAS). I can't touch it (much) because the people in the basement apartment uses its wifi too. The rental house is a combined modem/router. That's what I'm thinking - so it's probably not a PLEX issue (see comment above about it complaining about bandwidth). Once in a while, PLEX can't find my saved media, but restarting the FireTV stick seems to fix it. So - is there anything I can do to tell PLEX to do its thing differently, or is this a network issue? It SEEMS like it should work just fine, and it did, when I lived in my old house and my NAS was on my router. The problem, thus, is that since my FireTV stick is wireless and connects to the house router, it needs to jump from house-router, over wifi to MY router, then to the NAS. I think the problem I have is that I'm renting a place with wifi internet, so what I've done is to install my ASUS router as a 'Media Bridge'.īasically, it connects wirelessly to the house router, then I have a few ports to connect to my laptop and my NAS. I run the server on a weak NAS, so not a lot of power to transcode. This should in theory limit the bandwidth between the routers, but it's still better than the no connection (and Plex Relay) that I suffered before. I now have the bandwidth to the FireTV stick to play things in original format.

In addition to the new AI offering, the app has several other music discovery options, including the ability to use a variety of DJ modes, go on machine-learning “sonic adventures,” use “mood radios,” travel back in time to rediscover oldies and more. The company notes you can limit its results only to music in your own library via a setting next to the API key. They’ll then need to create an OpenAI account in order to enter an OpenAI API key in Plexamp settings to enable Sonic Sage. To use the option, users must be a Plex Pass subscriber and they must also subscribe to TIDAL’s streaming music service, which is Plex’s music partner. For example, the company suggests users could ask for things like “mellow ballads by heavy metal bands,” “upbeat electronics tracks from The Chainsmokers and other DJ duos,” “psychedelic indie rock like Pink Floyd,” “70s grooves by powerhouse women,” and more. The new feature, dubbed Sonic Sage, lets users create their own playlists by using natural language to describe what they want to hear. It later expanded from the desktop to iOS and Android, and got an overhaul, becoming a subscriber-only service. In Plex’s case, it’s using the feature for its music player side project for the time being, not its main media player app.įirst launched in 2017 as the debut project from Plex Labs, Plexamp was introduced as Plex’s spin on the classic Winamp media player app, even offering visualizations to accompany your tunes. Spotify, notably, launched an AI DJ to both introduce and select music for its streaming app users, while other third-party apps like Petey are now using ChatGPT to make Apple Music playlists. The update follows other efforts around using AI interfaces to program users’ music selections. The company announced today a new feature called “Sonic Sage,” powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, that will build unique music playlists by scanning users’ libraries and leveraging their TIDAL subscription. Plexamp, the music player originally incubated by the Labs division of media company Plex, is tapping into ChatGPT with its latest update.
