Hello!
I’m goin’ to switch my main Raspberry (Pi5 with IQAudio DAC Pro) from OSMC-Kodi to Raspberry OS-Plex Server. 3 USB hard drives connected with tons of MusicBrainz tagged .flac files (and a medium number of Full-HD films).
I’d like to listen to the same library with my old Raspberry Pi3 in my bedroom. As far as I understood I’d need a Plex player, connected by wifi network to the Plex server, on this Raspberry Pi3. Is it correct that the best solution affordable now is the Plex Add-on for Kodi? Or maybe PlexAmp (with which distro?)?
My 2 stereos have got only analog inputs, so I need 2 sources (the 2 Rasp Pi), but obviously I’d like to maintain only one library.
Eventually in case of better solutions I’ve got no problem with buying the Premium Pass.

Thanks in advance
Alex

Plexamp Headless is almost certainly the best option, however it’s a Plex Pass only feature. It’ll run nicely on Raspberry Pi OS (or any other Debian-based distro as far as I know).

Just be aware that a lot of the best parts of Plex for music are enabled by Sonic Analysis (also a Plex Pass feature) which is unfortunately not able to run on ARM-based Plex Servers (including Raspberry Pi).
