Hey everyone, I’m new here, and I’m looking to start a Plex server with a client of a Raspberry Pi that plays to a specific TV, but has a touchscreen so I can start, pause and scan through.

I also wanted the ability to connect with other audio sources such as Spotify, Pandora, etc.

I saw this post, but have not seen anything else really about this topic of combining Plex and Spotify. Has anyone accomplished this?

Very interested in the same solution. Want a headless RPI that I can cast both plex and Spotify to. I use the DAC+hifiberry card on this rip and send to my whole house speaker system where I can control where I want the music played.

Btw, already have raspotify running and it works great. Just don’t know if I can get all the packages installed on rasplex that raspotify would require.

I opened this thread on the LibreELEC forum. Might have some luck.
