Do I get this right? It is not feasible to run PlexAmp on an RasPi 1?
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
## Installing the NodeSource Node.js 9.x repo...
## You appear to be running on ARMv6 hardware. Unfortunately this is not currently supported by the NodeSource Linux distributions. Please use the 'linux-armv6l' binary tarballs available directly from nodejs.org for Node.js 4 and later.
Sorry, I believe that is correct, you need a newer Pi.
Node9 do exist for ARMv6, i just try it on my Pi1
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v9.x/node-v9.11.2-linux-armv6l.tar.xz
tar xf node-v9.11.2-linux-armv6l.tar.xz
cd node-v9.11.2-linux-armv6l/bin
sudo mv node /usr/sbin
sudo mv npm /usr/sbin
sudo mv npx /usr/sbin
to verify where node is install :
which node
which npm
to verify the version of node :
nodejs -v
I got node to install as well, but couldn’t get plexamp to load.
Same here. Installed Node v9.9 but…

Which is sad, because plexamp would be THE perfect way to use your old Raspi.
Slightly different question… which Raspi would be sufficient? Raspi2?
Indeed, node 9.9 for ARMv6 isnt enough to make Plexamp work on Pi 1…
I have the same problem. It seem to be a soft problem…
I will ask some help soon to resolve this, if i figure a way out, i will post the solution here.
Raspi2 is decent enough, unless you are trying to play 5.1 flacs with 96kHz/24 bit all the time.
[edit] actually, that was true for the old, mpv-based version.
I haven’t tried the new one on a RasPi 2, only on the RasPi 3.
Sorry!
Plexamp 2.0 can be run on a Pi 1 or Pi Zero. But is not much fun because the playback stutters (especially when a track is cached at the start of the track).
You can find my implementation on GitHub:
I hope the stutter is fixed when Plexamp 2.0 leaves beta status.
