I recently had to install Plex Media Server on my Mac (long story involving having to bisect the Linux Kernel, joy!) and create a new Library that contains just music in order to keep using PlexAmp goodness.
I’ve noticed since switching to this newly set up server (localhost), PlexAmp doesn’t properly change the album art and track info when the next song starts playing. Nor are desktop notifications triggering. The next track (or when using Album Shuffle, album) properly starts playing… the app itself just seems “stuck.”
Any ideas on things to try to resolve this?
Interestingly and perhaps related, I just noticed the “play next random album” keyboard shortcut is also not working.

Would be hard to conjecture w/o some logs. Maybe there’s a conflict with port 20000?
Here are the only console logs I see for Plexamp (these are from a period that included a song change). Should I look somewhere else than console.app?

Can haz Plexamp’s Application.log Server.log for the period in question?
