I wanted to run both Headphones and PlexPy on my Mac. I saw in the config file that I could change the port from 8181, so I made it 8282. I shut down PlexPy, but now I can’t get it back. When I run "launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.drzoidberg33.plexpy.plist” in the terminal it says “service already loaded”. If I go to localhost:8181 or localhost:8282 I get nothing.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I restarted my Mac thinking that might reboot PlexPy, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Because you never unloaded it. You should “launchctl stop [label]” then “launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.drzoidberg33.plexpy.plist” and then “launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.drzoidberg33.plexpy.plist”

But, why are you doing the port in the plist? You should be changing the port in the web interface settings.
