Plexamp for raspberry pi install#
The idea is that you could install the headless version on a low-end PC, which could output audio based on commands from another device.
Plexamp for raspberry pi windows#
You can already install Plexamp on mobile devices, as well as macOS, Windows and Linux, but there has been work in the past on a "headless" version of Plexamp as a streaming target. Plex lets you store a collection of music files to stream to any other device with the Plex app, but the Plex team also has a dedicated music player called Plexamp with a cleaner interface. Might be worth a look.Īnd after that huge thread, here are the latest build instructions from the CTO.Plex is one of the best services for hosting your own media collection and streaming it to all your other devices, and now the developers at Plex are working on a way to stream your music to a Raspberry Pi. The below is an effort to get plexamp onto the raspberry pi with mpd to get gapless and a few other things working better. It's cross device and fits into an existing Plex household very nicely. I purchased a Hifiberry and currently use Roon, but landed here because I have another friend that doesn't want Roon and I think a Plex endpoint might be the best option. There are lots of audio hat's that can work with Raspberry Pi's - I did compile a page of this a long time back which I've linked below. It supports Raspberry Pi Audio hats and such like which means you can choose RCA or Optical or whatever you like. That way you use the built in Plex sharing. I had a friend that used Rasplex on the Raspberry Pi and set that as an Audio endpoint. One thing I've found that is really nice and easy to use the Spotify plugin in LMS which allows playing and controlling Spotify directly from the iPeng interface instead of having to mess around selecting the device in Spotify and then controlling the audio in iPeng. I have to reboot the RPi endpoints occasionally, like once every month or two at the most. I've never had any problems with buffering or stuttering even with 192k/24b files, although there is the occasional hiccup which I suspect plagues any digital distribution system. I use iPeng on my iPhone and iPad for remote control of any of the endpoints or simply listening via headphones on either device, knowing that I'm not getting hi res because of the constraints on the Apple devices. And for my HiFi system in the living room, I went down the path of using a Pi display with a Jivelite enabled providing USB output to the DAC. For example, I have a RPi Zero and a JustBoom DAC Zero in a little box connected to an older receiver in the garage. I run PiCorePlayer on a variety of RPi endpoints with various output configurations, depending on the location. The same RPi also does double duty as an endpoint.
I run Logitech Media Server (LMS) on a RPi 3B+ which accesses the music stored on the NAS. I use both Ethernet and WiFi for streaming to the endpoints.
It's more about keeping things organized. I use XLD to rip CDs that I own and have a script that adds them to the NAS and the iTunes library even though I don't really use it any more. I store both my music and video library on a QNAP NAS which also has a native Plex app. I've considered PlexAmp, but my current system works so well, I've been reluctant to mess with it. This probably won't answer your question directly, but it might give you some ideas.
