Feature requests

Feature description:

This is a Plexamp functionality, so I am not sure how possible it will be with Symfonium.

I use the 5-star rating system and would like to be able to tag tracks while driving. Plexamp works in an identical way

In Android auto, I would like the Heart Button to have three states:
Filled = 5 stars,
Not Filled = 0 stars
broken heart = 1 star

Problem solved:

I use the 5-star rating system and would like to be able to tag tracks while driving. Plexamp works in an identical manner
it solves the problem of being able to rate tracks in AA

Brought benefits:

The benefits are two-fold

  1. Customisation: For those who use the heart, nothing changes, the can simply like and unlike songs

  2. it ensures ratings can be used in AA

You can already configure the plex provider to map favorite status to 5 stars ratings.

Sorry, but I don’t understand your response.

I am referring to the favourite button within Symfonium in Android Auto. I am unaware of a setting within Plex that manages favourite status to star ratings.

Please point me to it if possible.

Thank you for getting back to me. I wasn’t aware of this particular setting, but my request remains.

This suggestion is an enhancement to the current functionality. Currently, the app only has a single state where “favorite” is equivalent to a 5-star rating. Adding a second option would allow for a 2nd rating. This can be 1 star or configurable if possible.

Then the off state. I hope that makes sense. I have shared some images of the 3 states from AA

Yes but Symfonium actually have a working system for favorites so that would break it :wink:

What can be done is add another special 3 state rating button exposed to AA that could be selected to replace the favorite.

Yes. that would be perfect :slight_smile:

I did wonder what it might break, but I have just discovered, so I am still exploring.

Thank you for considering it and taking the time and patience to respond. if you decide to go ahead, let me know and I will make a small contribution. Ta
