Hi all,
Love plex amp I have been waiting for something like this for a while. I wanted to request the ability to set the output and have it stick.
For example default system out may be internal speakers, but I want to set plex amp to output via a USB Dac. For windows it would also be great to be able to output through WASAPI to the output device (if you are not already doing this).
I do echo that if this can be run headless onto a raspberry pi (using the hifiberry output addons) that would be awesome as my request for this feature is so I can setup a headless computer running plex amp.
Thank you for building this app it’s awesome to see how well it works at 1.0
Plexamp appears to use libsoundio via mpd for playback, so if you really wanted to specify a particular output regardless of your system defaults you could play around with the configuration files. For Windows, mpd.conf is at %AppData%\Local\Programs\plexamp\resources\helpers.
I think soundio outputs via WASAPI by default. It’s not exclusive~~, but the logs suggest it’s checking the bitrate and sample rate and adjusting its output accordingly. So a 24bit/96kHz file should be going directly to my DAC without resampling. Which is exactly what you want!~~
Slightly off topic on a slightly old thread, but figured I’d put this here as this thread pops up on Google when searching for ‘plexamp wasapi’.
Edit: Right! Wasn’t looking close enough. As per below, WASAPI has to be exclusive/raw to be bit-perfect, seems we’ll just have to wait for it to be supported.
