Plexamp for Raspberry Pi: Creating server.json from scratch?

Plex Labs

I no longer seem to be able to get a Plexamp 1.1 installation up-and-running properly, in order to steal it’s server.json for my Raspberry Pi setup.

Does anyone have a step-by-step of how to create the file from scratch?

Specifically:

  1. Can the player identifier be any unique GUID we choose, or is Plex looking for something in particular?
  2. There seem to be a ton of ways to generate a Plex “token” - from X-Plex-Token, to oauth tokens, to “client identifiers” and “time-limited PINs” - but it’s not clear which method or which token Plexamp is looking for as the user.token in the server.json. How do we generate that, exactly?
  3. How do we determine the “library” on the server?
{
  "player": {
    "name": "PIPLEXAMP",
    "identifier": "[1. can this be any GUID, or is it something specific?]"
  },
  "user": {
    "id": [numeric user id - I already have this],
    "token": "[2. which 'token' do we use here?]"
  },
  "server": {
    "identifier": "[GUID server id - I believe I already have this]",
    "library": "[3. how do we determine the 'library'?]"
  }
}

Is there anything else that needs to be in the file?

Thanks in advance!

I too have the same question. I am desperately trying to get Plexamp up and running again all my Pi3s and 4s.
