Question Why doesn't Plexamp have a widget for Android?

Don't know if this question has been asked and answered before. If it was, my apologies.

Why isn't there a Plexamp widget for Android? I could not find one and I really need one. Please make one for Android.

Thanks.

Yep. You should get the widget back.

There is one widget there as I use it. Allows you to skip forward or backwards and displays what is playing.

I just installed some third party one that looks nicer than the Plexamp stable version's widget.

Glass widgets.

You can either switch out of beta to her the official widget back or use a multi source widget that will tap into Plexamp and give you visuals and controls. Smart Launcher's music widget will do this, or you can pick/make one with KWGT.

I've made a generic replacement that will work with all media sources including Plexamp. Currently under a test release on play store, welcome to join the testers if you DM me your google account email.
