I’m having fun sorting out the headless app. This, I’m hoping is the simplest of the issues i’ve encountered. Plexamp headless is installed, it runs, it works. wooohooo!! However… I’m connecting via ssh using putty. So far so great. Except if I close putty, the headless app drops. What can I do to…

Hmm. I think I’ve done something a bit odd when I installed. I’m not on a Pi though I don’t think that should matter. The installation path is different but I’ve accounted for that when copying the service. Not sure if this is where I’m having the problem. 4. Install the Plexamp service if you fe…

yes it was! I still needed to manually copy plexamp.service possibly because there was a version already there. But afterwards it’s up and running! Obliged!
