This is super rough, but it’s a start. I use this hat for digital audio, it’s cheap and high quality.

  1. Download https://files.plexapp.com/elan/plexamp-v1.0.5-pi.tar.gz
  2. Get a server.json file from existing Plexamp install, install in /home/pi/.config/Plexamp/. Sign out and back into your existing install to get a new identifier/token.
  3. Install node.js on the Pi.
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt install -y nodejs
  1. Unpack plexamp-v1.0.5-pi.tar.gz in /home/pi
  2. Copy over plexamp.service to /lib/systemd/system/
  3. Get service running
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable plexamp
$ sudo systemctl start plexamp
$ sudo systemctl status plexamp
  1. Profit!

BONUS ROUND: If you get this USB relay module Plexamp will turn it off/on as needed. I use it to control my receiver.
