1. I’ve installed node with `sudo apt install nodejs` it appears I have version 12.22 installed. 2.Unpacked the plexamp download to `home/pi` 3.When I run `pi@audio-kitchen:~/plexamp $ node js/index.js` I get `bash:pi@audio-kitchen:~/plexamp : No such file or directory` Any idea what I’m doing wrong.? ---

To start rPi plexamp: sudo cp plexamp.service /lib/systemd/system/ sudo systemctl start plexamp To have it load on boot:: sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable plexamp sudo systemctl start plexamp See: [Plexamp on the Raspberry Pi - #11 by elan](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-on-the-raspberry-pi/791500/12) ---

You should be ok with the Hat from what I’ve read here. I’m using rPi Plexamp to stream to a Bluetooth Radio. ( I needed to install pulseaudio for the BT device to connect, but it’s not needed otherwise with Plexamp as its uses ASLA.) ---

> [@MuSic](#): > > but as soon as i installed the service to start from boot. It starts up automaitically but the cound is garbled, even of 44/16. > I’ll install the hat and try again Go to the web gui port 32500 on the pi and go to playback settings. Select the headphone jack there instead of default, and the sound will not be garbled. It took me a while to figure out that issue, but it works! I believe Elon commented somewhere about having to do that as well if you are using the headphone jack. ---

Thanks guys. So I found the setting for audio output in the web interface and could select my justboom DAC there. YAY playback through the dac. 24/96 plays well. Just got to get the rotary encoder working now so i can adjust volume. I cant get that working so I’m hoping Jusboom has some ideas that will help ---

Hi! Have created a bash for installing the Plexamp headless running on the Raspberry Pi! It does the full installation on a fresh setup of Raspbian OS 64-bit!

wow. thats awesome. Great work. I’m not really familiar with linux or pi or CLI but have made it work before. People like me need a simple install file and a GUI. On another notre, plexamp is playing music again for me…??? i did nothing. if it craps out again ill try your install. ---

My pi is changing ip. and when that changes the web interface seems to lose all the settings and DAC is no longer selected as audio device but even when reselecting audio device, plexamp pi no longer works for me. cant even see it on cast dialog. I know i have connection over wifi because i can SSH over the network into it ---

Ive worked out the audio working and then not. it appears plexamp has the ability to recognise my DAC and make it selectable with just the first part of the justboom install. but if i do the full justboom oficial install, modifying the config, it undoes the connection and it needs to be reconfigured in plexamp. ---
