That link seems to be showing windows from a gui. I’ve been following processes to setup headless plexamp, which has me installing a lite raspberry pi os, which is command line only. I followed instructions to a T to put in config files with my wifi information, and spent hours mucking about with command line commands, the wifi adapter is there, it can see my wifi network, but it will not join, and all AI can do is walk me around in circles with useless BS. It seems no one can make a simple guide to setup a headless plexamp pi.
None of the guides I found for setting up the headless pi app work.
You charge money for the ability to use this app, yet there seems to be no way to make it work, it seems to be a pile of garbage best I can figure, and there seems to be no support or anything.
you could just flash the official headless plexamp image with the official raspberry pi imager and set the wifi config prior to flashing. I mostly setup my raspberry pis through SSH, so don’t forget to enable that before you flash your image.
No one has provided any method of getting a damn Pi to work with plexamp. Now it won’t even show me a library - and it’s really bummed about that. That’s just great!
It seems to me, you got many options in the posts above but you’re not letting us know if you even checked them out (or what guide you were using that’s not working for you).
At this point, this feels more like a random rant (no offense).
I suggest, maybe you take a deep breath and share some details of what exact steps you took (maybe with a reference to the guide you’ve been using) and where you got stuck?
I’ve set this up multiple times now, all with nothing good resulting.
This guide seems to get something to load…
But then I have no sound out my HDMI!
I dicked around with sound settings on the pi itself by ssh-ing in and asking AI for assistance, and it found the HDMI was in some sort of funky mode that wasn’t playing PCM, but I don’t even know if that has anything to do with anything, and it walked around in circles telling me to set the same damn things, until finally one of the AIs mentioned adding a f to a string in a config file that changes the driver to something legacy, and then it shows the right mode, but only 16bit not 32 (for my 24 bit audio), but I don’t even know how or if plexamp cares about any of that, because NOTHING TELLS ME ANYTHING ABOUT SETTING ANYTHNING UP TO OR FROM ANYTHING!!!
So at some point before dicking around with hdmi or stuff, one of my setups showed that it was playing, but no sound - maybe it was sending it out the analog jack. Which - I cannot help but be amused at how kodi just about tries to block you from using the analog out and gets all bitchy if you point this out, while plex here seems to be hard coded to it. I set it to hdmi, and then it wouldn’t play anything, which led me down the dicking around with config sound settings with AI path that went nowhere.
And I wiped and tried from the start, because there has got to be a default path that makes sense. But no - around in circles again, and now THE LIBRARY WON’T EVEN LOAD, AND ALL IT CAN DO IS BE BUMMED AND SAD WITH IT’S UNAPPRECIATED SARCASM!!!
So, yeah…I really feel like this is a solid heap of garbage!
A player that has no capability to actually access the library, and can’t output audio, is a pretty damn useless player. I don’t understand why no one can even get the most basic functionalities that a player needs to have to work out of this pile of garbage!
Who do I talk to about a refund for my license? If you can’t even make a player play, then I have no intent on letting you thieves keep a dime of my money!
