Would be interesting to be able to add a ollama instance and pick a model to be able to give something akin to Spotify Blend or DJ but all processed locally!

I’m on the same network as my Plex - however I think currently I can only access it through the internet. I would prefer to just access it locally

Local Server Access

In the list, it could be nice to be able to go to a specific section of the list while typing a letter on the keyboard. For instance, typing “G” will scroll directly to the first element of the list which starts with the letter “G”. Not sure about the behaviour when there’s no matching item in the list.

I use Plexamp headless. Would be nice if I could use your app to send my music there, just like with the normal plex apps.

From Reddit:Is there a global hotkey support for Chromatix? I couldn't find anything yet.If there is not, please consider adding it to the Feature Requests? It would be great to be able to start/pause/skip tracks as I can do in Musicbee or other players.

Add global hotkey support

At present, managed accounts (such as those created by Plex Home) may not work with Last.fm scrobbling.It seems that only users listening from their own server can currently scrobble tracks.

Last.fm improvements

Chromatix is bundled for macOS and Windows using Electron.It should also be possible to bundle the app for Linux, but I’m not a Linux user with any knowledge of the platform, and my first experiments building for Linux didn’t work.I think the ecosystem may be quite complex, requiring different type of builds for different Linux distros.I hope to pick this up again down the line to get this working, as it’s been requested by a few people.

Linux app

Add, edit and remove playlists.Playlist management will require the implementation of various other UI features first, such as context menus and popup/modal windows, and a drag-and-drop interface for reordering items.

Playlist management

Add, edit and remove tracks from the play queue.This is a commonly requested feature. There’s a lot of different ways this could be done. I am inclined to make queue management behave in a similar fashion to Spotify.Queue management will require the implementation of various other UI features first, such as context menus and popup/modal windows, and a drag-and-drop interface for reordering items.This is planned, but I cannot provide an expected timeframe.

Queue management

I use the “lyric” feature in Plexamp a lot. Would appreciate a similar “get lyrics button” that opens the lyrics up in a popup/sidebar of some sort.Cursory research shows that while Genius (by far the optimal source in my opinion) has a free API they do not offer any actual lyric content over it due to legal issues. However, there seem to be a number of maintained clients that fetch Genius lyrics by scraping the web page directly, such as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://github.com/zyrouge/node-genius-lyrics">https://github.com/zyrouge/node-genius-lyrics</a>. Plex uses <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://www.lyricfind.com/">https://www.lyricfind.com/</a> but that costs money and the song availability, at least in Plexamp, is very substandard compared to Genius.Obviously when the implementation options are as problematic as they seem to be I would understand that this feature may not be feasible for the project. Maybe something like node-genius-lyrics could be implemented in the desktop version only, set to default as off depending on performance?

Instead of rating songs out of 5 stars, be able to to just “star” a song.This would essentially add the ability to like a song, without me having to actually rate it out of 5.This makes it easier for me to keep an updated “&lt;3 Tracks” playlist.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" data-featurebase-content-key="68385dda7680fcc0d8fb4940/post/68b63fa9e7bbe0fcbb740af4/019907e8-68c3-7bb9-9259-ca1151fb1235/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png" src="https://68385dda7680fcc0d8fb4940.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/68b63fa9e7bbe0fcbb740af4/019907e8-68c3-7bb9-9259-ca1151fb1235/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260422T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260422%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=1a0d563e76f6f7fcee4025c1d54ba73bf41edcb7d8bcd595a9d19299e6e3ddf6" data-featurebase-content-filename="image.png">Plexamp has this feature. Maybe they just rate the song 5/5 behind the scenes and abstract it away from me the user.

In addition to the recently added “track view” for artists, an alternative “detail view” is planned, with the intention of showing all tracks by an artist, broken up by album, as per the attached design mockup.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" data-featurebase-content-key="68385dda7680fcc0d8fb4940/post/683886d41b3d46cea0fd4dea/01971ccc-90fd-78f0-98e8-03ecbc477dc5/b64u-RnJhbWUgMTAwMDAwNzIxOC5wbmc.png" data-featurebase-content-filename="Frame 1000007218.png" src="https://68385dda7680fcc0d8fb4940.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/683886d41b3d46cea0fd4dea/01971ccc-90fd-78f0-98e8-03ecbc477dc5/b64u-RnJhbWUgMTAwMDAwNzIxOC5wbmc.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260422T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260422%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=cc02690dcd92695f10b7a576573f8873d6f68fe4d9c6f2b362c3a15b0b9ff6fc">

Artist detail view

Just tried the app (mac &amp; browser) and note that none of my lossless or hi-res ALAC files can be played … I get a playback error.I have tested with a few mp3 files and they play OK.Unfortunately, ~95% of my library is ALAC so the app doesn’t currently work for me.Any plans to support ALAC playback?

i.e. AirPlay, Chromecast and Sonos support.Getting all 3 of these things working may be challenging, as they all have different API’s with varying levels of web app support.I don’t have a timeframe for making a start on this, but I hope to add this capability at some point down the line.

Smart speaker integrations

Along with <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://chromatix.featurebase.app/p/jellyfin-integration">Jellyfin integration</a>, multiple account management is intended to be added, so that you can log in to multiple accounts across both Plex and Jellyfin at once, with easy switching in the user menu.One of the bigger complexities here is that user preferences are currently linked to your Plex account ID. A new system will need to be created where preferences can be linked to multiple accounts, and remain consistent even if you log in/out of additional accounts.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" data-featurebase-content-key="68385dda7680fcc0d8fb4940/post/683891525156e7feb6df7729/01971cf7-6ab7-7ae9-864a-6f5c0f7f6fdc/b64u-RnJhbWUgMTAwMDAwNzIxOC5wbmc.png" src="https://68385dda7680fcc0d8fb4940.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/683891525156e7feb6df7729/01971cf7-6ab7-7ae9-864a-6f5c0f7f6fdc/b64u-RnJhbWUgMTAwMDAwNzIxOC5wbmc.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260422T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260422%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=8e0f489d83be0adc0771c275ae1d8c9a77b8ed14944d77b6b23f80a80d86dec7" data-featurebase-content-filename="Frame 1000007218.png">

As an alternative/addition to logging in with Plex, integration is planned with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://jellyfin.org/">Jellyfin</a> open source media server.Note that Jellyfin and Plex have slightly different features and provide slightly different data. Not all features from Plex will be supported with Jellyfin integration, and vice versa.There is currently no timeline for when this will be complete.

Virtualisation of long lists of content means that if there are a high number of entries, only the elements actually in view are rendered.Until virtualised grid view is implemented, users with large libraries with 1000’s of entries may see performance slowdowns when browsing grid views.Note that list views have already been updated to use virtualisation when rendering more than a certain number of items in one go.This isn’t a glamorous or exciting feature, but is essential for users with large libraries, and before wider promotion can be done for Chromatix. Chromatix is using <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://tanstack.com/virtual/latest">Tanstack Virtual</a> for virtualised rendering.
