So, I saw that the rPi headless plexamp version was out of beta and wanted to update. However, I’m not sure what the steps should be to update other than trying to just follow the installation directions as if nothing was already installed.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by “select the player in the web ui”. I assume you mean in the settings, but not sure which. I did see that the name of the player had changed to “browser” and fixed that, but I suspect that isn’t what you meant. Still can’t seem to play music. I still can…

When in doubt, wipe everything and start over. A complete OS reinstall, etc fixed it.

Glad to hear it’s all working now!
