Future of Plexamp on Raspberry Pi?

Sorry, I was really just spelunking and wasn’t taking notes and I don’t remember everything altogether. I do remember that some of it was specific to the PMS you are connected to which is what made it not something that could be made into a recipe that anyone could easily follow.

All the clues are already available in this forum in these threads:

…and in this github repo:

But as I said, it was not straight-forward and some relatively advanced linux command line tweaking was required.

EDIT: While we wait for @elan to drop the good news about plexamp 3+ 4+ for the pi, DLNA + UPnP + HiFiCast (or some other similar UPnP controller app) will at least let you push your plex music through a pi.

Hopefully when @elan waves the green flag, there will be some less-than-voodoo method of telling the new and improved pi-plexamp which alsa device to pour its bits into rather than just hoping for the best and blasting away. And if it could maybe let go of that device when it’s done playing, then I promise I’ll never ask for another christmas present from Plex Inc.
