Notes:

  • *:Not all Subsonic or OpenSubsonic servers provides all the functions (See OpenSubsonic or your server website)
  • *: Symfonium as OpenSubsonic initiator support all the OpenSubsonic additions that are relevant to Symfonium. (So currently all of them)
  • **: Requires full sync enabled for Plex
  • ***: Transcoding is done on the phone as the server does not support transcoding, this allow playing incompatible medias, but not reducing bandwidth usage if your network is slow.
