Noob Step by Step for Plexamp install on Pi2

Plex Labs
1

I need some help, I think I am overlooking something. I am trying to get Plexamp installed on a Pi 2. I found instructions from Plexamp for Raspberry Pi Release Notes but I am confused about the first part:

  1. Download https://files.plexapp.com/elan/Plexamp-v2.0.0-rPi-beta.2.tar.bz2
  2. Get a server.json file from existing Plexamp on desktop install, install in /home/pi/.config/Plexamp/ . Sign out and back into your existing install to get a new identifier/token.

This is a fresh raspbian install, and there is no existing desktop installation. I just need some basic direction on how to accomplish these first 2 steps.

Thanks!

You need a Windows or Mac desktop version of Plexamp v1.0

3

What is the ā€œSign out and back into your existing install to get a new identifier/token.ā€ step about?

This means that you remove the server.json from the Windows machine, after you have successfully transplanted it onto the RasPi.
This is to prevent 2 clients using the same clientID, which will cause all kinds of bad behaviour.

and also, where is the actual plexapp for raspberry pi at?

step 4: you unpack the downloaded .bz2 archive into /home/pi
then you put the server.json file into this folder /home/pi/.config/Plexamp/
(caution: folders and files which start with a dot are hidden. You must navigate to /home/pi/.config by typing in its folder path. Then you create a new folder Plexamp in there.)

I cannot give you a complete introduction into Linux.
Youā€™ll have to do some research yourself, or youā€™ll have to wait until Plexamp 3.x regains the ability to be controlled by other clients.

Thanks for all the help @OttoKerner. I was able to install Plexamp, move the windows .json file into the /home/pi/.config/Plexamp/ directory, install node 9 on the pi, install the service file, and get the service runningā€¦it appears to be running:

The problem is that I cannot see this new pi Plexamp when I try to share from my Android app. Do you know what I can start trouble shooting?

I found Plexamp for Raspberry Pi - Running but not available to cast to

Looks like he was getting errors in his daemon.log file from having the wrong nodejs version, but I am not getting any errors. Not sure what to check for next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am now able to see the rpi on my Android Plexamp app, so I am making progress. BUT I cannot switch to it. It appears to select it, but then the audio track will start and then a second later it will stop. Any ideas?

7

Sometimes pause/play a couple times will wake it up? Iā€™ve seen that syndrome on the pi before.

Check the tail of the log /var/log/daemon.log on the pi for clues while the bug is happening.

I have found plexamp on raspberry pi 2 to be very laggy and unpredictableā€¦ so I stopped using the 2. if you can possibly manage a model 3 or newer it works much better.

Thanks @waltonbruce01 and @OttoKerner for the help thus far. I actually started over with a fresh install of Raspbain on a different Pi3. I figured I would detail out the the steps that I did so you could possibly see what I omitted or if I possibly made an error:

I first installed NodeJS 9.11.2:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ wget https://nodejs.org/download/release/v9.11.2/node-v9.11.2-linux-armv6l.tar.gz

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components=1 -xzf node-v9.11.2-linux-armv6l.tar.gz

I confirmed what NodeJS version:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
v9.11.2

I ran Plexamp on my Windows Laptop.
I created a new directory on the Pi -> /home/pi/.config/Plexamp/
I copied the server.json file from my windows Plexamp directory to the newly created directory on the Pi.
I deleted the server.json file in my Windows Plexamp directory.
I ran Plexamp on my Windows laptop and logged back in.

I downloaded Plexamp on the Pi:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ wget https://files.plexapp.com/elan/Plexamp-v2.0.0-rPi-beta.2.tar.bz2

I unpacked it:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bunzip2 Plexamp-v2.0.0-rPi-beta.2.tar.bz2

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tar -xvf Plexamp-v2.0.0-rPi-beta.2.tar

I opened the plexamp.service file and change the ExecStart line to read /usr/local/bin/node instead of /usr/bin/node

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano plexamp/plexamp.service

I copied the service file:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo cp /home/pi/plexamp/plexamp.service /lib/systemd/system/plexamp.service

I got the service running:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl enable plexamp
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl start plexamp
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status plexamp

Now when I load up the Plexamp on my Android device, I can see the rPi3 after I hit the share button, but I canā€™t connect to it to play music. It will pop a message in red saying Cannot Switch To Player. I have tried multiple times to no avail.

Any thoughts on what to do next? Not sure what to look for.

Thanks!

Sounds like you still have the Plexamp v1 running on the Windows machine, from where you copied the server.json file.

10

Wow cool thanks mike for writing this up!

The only thing I can think of that I did differentlyā€¦

Edit the server.json to give the pi a unique name. Use your favorite text editor on the pi or edit it before copy. This ensures that on the plex service side thereā€™s no confusion between player names and their identifiers. For example on my garage player I did this.

 "player": {
    "name": "GaragePi",
    "identifier": "3f20c5cf-580d-4328-a2a4-bcfd9a7b8d68"
  },

hope this helps

I did a new install of Plexamp v1.1 (from the file you sent me) on a new Windows machine this morning. I copied that server.json over to the Pi

12

Great suggestion @waltonbruce01. I actually named the player ā€˜RaspeberryPi3ā€™ on the Windows machine when I launched it, so it would already be labeled correctly when I copied it over to the Pi. I am really getting frustratedā€¦because this seems so easy!

13

Check the log for clues?

tail -f /var/log/daemon.log

do this while you are trying to connect to it and watch the log, see if there are errors, should put you further on track if so.

14

Thanks for the suggestion. I am pasting the output here for you to see:

Every time I push play on my phone, these two similar lines pop up in the log:

Nov 11 14:43:17 raspberrypi node[5237]: #033[33mdebug#033[39m: GET /player/playback/play?commandID=351&type=music 200 2 - 1.471 ms
Nov 11 14:43:17 raspberrypi node[5237]: #033[33mdebug#033[39m: [TREBLE] BASS: Resume.

I push play again, and those 2 lines show up. On my phone, the song starts ā€œplayingā€, then stops after 1-2 seconds. Is there anything here to go on?

15

those message all look fine I thinkā€¦

which audio hardware are you using on the pi?
hdmi, headphone jack, usb devices?

maybe you are running into some sound device issue.

16

Using HDMI for now. Planning on getting DIGI+ once I get this working. I did just reboot the pi and did a status check before anything:

Also, now the pi is not showing on my phone as sharable player.

just looking at mineā€¦ earlier in the log (use ā€˜moreā€™ instead of tail) you should see where it does some device negotiation.

I seem to recall needing to set the device to default (or change the device numbering) for plexamp to pick it up as the first device (in my case a hifi berry dac+)

Anyway it was so long ago I donā€™t recall the details and of course didnā€™t write it down like you have, lol.

Also looks like you have some DNS lookup failures there, are you sure this pi can reach the internet?

you are so close keep plugging

18

Thanksā€¦not sure whatā€™s up with DNS. I have 8.8.8.8 specified in the PFSense router and have no problem getting out to the internet with the Pi.

I reviewed the log after a reboot and didnā€™t see where there was any device negotiationā€¦could have missed it. Nov 11 16.txt (37.3 KB)

hmm, itā€™s not seeing the HDMI audio device?
totally possible you are playing out the headphone jack, have you checked?
See this from your log

Nov 11 16:01:14 raspberrypi node[468]: #033[33mdebug#033[39m: [TREBLE] Device 1: Default - enabled default - sample rates:

Just need to figure out how to enable HDMI audio and make it the default system audio I guess? Iā€™m a little beyond at this point, keep plugging :slight_smile: Mine has a dac+ and hdmi plus headphone jack but you only have the jack output showing.

maybe ā€œsudo raspi-configā€ and go check the audio section?

I havenā€™t checked, but the problem now is that the pi doesnā€™t even show up as a device I can play to
