Hi all, I’ve got plexamp for the raspberry pi running on a 3b+ with a hifiberry digi+ hat running perfectly fine except for one problem. When there is no file playing plexamp will hold onto the audio device until I go into the rpi plexamp web page and manually change the output to a different devic…

Thanks for looking into it and being so responsive. my main desire for this is: my dac has an auto turn on and input switch feature when it seas a valid audio stream on one of its inputs and auto turn off when it has no valid audio stream. the current behavior breaks this functionality. The a…

[image] TimCecil: Is it possible to query what plexamp is doing and change the input through bash on the rasberrypi? it is conceptually possible for a enterprising person to figure this out, yes. i’m going to focus any time spent on trying to figure out a more … universally accessible solutio…

At the very least to answer my curiosity to see if it can be done. If anyone has any leads on documentation ab…

That’s exactly what a player would say!

Deprecated native solution has been integrated. Alright got something hacked up. Turned out to be way easier than I thought it would be. The only caveat is that it relies on tautulli in order to monitor when the pi is streaming and not. If you’re not running it already it’s quite a nice tool to go …

Wow, very cool! On my end I had an epiphany this afternoon and tried another direction, which seemed to work. Need to do more testing and it might be a little while, but it’s promising for native support.

Deprecated native solution has been integrated. So for those of you interested I discovered something wrong with the assumptions I made with my previous code. I assumed tautulli would only trigger playback start and stop when the stream was completely stopped. However it looks like these commands …
