TLDR: Thanks to Elan and the dev team, and their never ending push to make Plexamp the best!!! I am now addicted to my music server and my music library, I hate you/love you for it. 
You also are responsible for me diving into Linux. I took an old PC and saved it from a landfill, put Fedora 36 on it, beat my head against the wall for 4 or 5 days trying to get it to work, and then spun up some Guest DJ mixes for the past couple days and am blown away by the DJ stretch. Hope your happy?
Long version. My 10.14.6 Mac PMS server cannot be upgraded / updated beyond 1.28.2.6151. Which means no guest DJ mixes and sonic analysis fix for me. So I decided to dust off an old PC sitting in the closet and install Fedora 36 and roll up a separate Music server just for Plexamp, for me and the family. This is new territory for me, I have run PMS on Mac since about 2010, with all my media. Now I have moved the Music to its own server just for Plexamp.
I am not comfortable in Linux or on the command line, but I am learning, and trying. Just wanted to share a little bit of my experience. The Fedora 36 part, oh boy, I have a lot to learn, and it was way harder to get Plex to see my hard drives than it should have been. I mean, holy cow, acronym soup, from fstab, chown, and others. But I muddled through it, following invaluable info from ChuckPA here on the forums under the linux tips and tricks. Thank you!. Once Plex could see my hard drives. It was no different than on my Mac server. There are support articles here on Plex forums which I used to help. But it took me like 4 days and like 24 hours just to figure out how to get my system to find hard drives. I tried so many things, crashed the system 3 times, wiped and started over, and finally managed to find the magic combination. I wanted to keep my music files on the Mac server, I just wanted to point the Fedora server to the file location. Seems easy enough right? WRONG so WRONG. Anyone else want to try this, just be patient and be prepared to spend hours reading and tinkering.
This leads me to my question/comment being new to Fedora. Isn’t there something that can be added into the Plex intial setup that can ask if you want Plex to make the hard drives visible to Plex? And then Plex kinda sorts it out and sets it up and asks for root password/authentication? Or is this something that is just insane to do? Not secure/allowed in Linux? I have no idea just asking, want to learn how things work, and as a new user of Fedora. The only reason I installed was fedora was for Plex and Plexamp. Anyway you guys at Plex can create a Fedora spin? Or a script or something that will configure for Plex? Just spit balling here.
Been running Plex server and Plexamp on Fedora for about a day and a half now after spending around 5 days just trying to get it to work. Obviously an experienced person will probably do this in no time at all. But newbies who read in many places to use an old machine as a linux server, and just want to install Linux and listen to music, its a huge barrier. Not being able to click on a hard drive or even have it listed in Plex to find it to add it. Coming from Mac/Windows where your hard drives are seen and you pick them from plex launcher and then to not even see them on linux. Makes me think there is something wrong with Plex and not something that is unique to Linux… Again this is for newbies. The combination of old computers as servers, Plex server and Plexamp. This is something that I believe more people are going to do going forward. I am excited to see how things go forward and am sticking with Fedora Plex Server. Once I get comfortable with it and eventually my old mac will be unable to keep up. I am going to roll with a Linux server.
So again, thank you to Plexamp and the devs here. All I wanted to do was listen to my music, and now I am also learning Linux and keeping some old hardware out of a land fill.
