I am a long-time Squeezebox with LMS user with players ranging from the original to the Touch. The only player I never got was the Transporter. I run LMS on a small linux server which does double-duty as my Plex server. After playing around with PlexAmp, I decided that I would like to see if I can consolidate all of my music listening to Plex and off of LMS. The issue is that I need a streamer with a DAC to feed my vintage integrated amp. I decided to try and install PlexAmp on a Raspberry Pi with a HifiBerry DAC hat and found a couple of guides (@elan original post and a follow-up post which highlighted the nodejs version incompatibilities. I’ve tried to update nodejs and configured my token (taken from PlexAmp v1 running on windows) but I’ms still getting the following error when I try to start the service. Can anyone make any suggestions on next de-bugging steps? (disclaimer - I’m fairly out of my depth here - enough knowledge to be dangerous.) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/6/b/6b59655fbd3874abd4f40abfdb0dd2f972328465.png) ---

I made progress getting the service running on RPi, but I cannot get it to show up as a player. Any ideas of what or how to check that? Huge thanks to @odinb1 for helping me sort of the installation! His script can walk you through everything including setting up your HAT, getting the proper nodejs, and entering your token info. [bash-plexamp-installer/README.md at main · odinb/bash-plexamp-installer · GitHub](https://github.com/odinb/bash-plexamp-installer/blob/main/README.md) I followed the instructions of doing a fresh install of Plexamp v1.1.0 and grabbing the server.json file from there. Made sure to use the correct version of nodejs, and confirmed the service is happily running using systemctl status plexamp ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/6/d/6d9ec00fa8b04e8946ae62bbca09cf7d469eb5d2.png) The problem is I cannot see the player. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/5/8/58fb6440a4d20dbf52ce99479e63067ba007895a.jpeg) Any suggestions? ---

Raspberry pi OS does not come with a firewall enabled. So unless you enabled one yourself, there is none! Are you sure both devices are on the same network? Does the other device have a firewall? ---

Everything is on the same network. I tried the RPi both wired and wireless. Android is not firewalled and can cast to Google Home, or other Plex players (Roku TV Plex, and Plex web). Plex server runs on a dedicated Linux mint box. ---

For the RPi, you can check what port(s) the plexamp service is listening to by doing this using the process ID of the plexamp service: ```auto root@plexamp4:~# systemctl status plexamp ● plexamp.service - Plexamp Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/plexamp.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2020-12-21 12:47:38 CST; 24h ago Main PID: 592 (node) Tasks: 18 (limit: 3861) CGroup: /system.slice/plexamp.service └─592 /usr/bin/node /home/brodersen/plexamp/server/server.prod.js Dec 21 19:58:21 plexamp4 node[592]: debug: GET /resources 200 328 - 0.829 ms Dec 21 19:58:26 plexamp4 node[592]: debug: GET /resources 200 328 - 0.893 ms Dec 21 19:58:36 plexamp4 node[592]: debug: GET /resources 200 328 - 1.077 ms Dec 21 19:58:46 plexamp4 node[592]: debug: GET /resources 200 328 - 1.000 ms Dec 22 00:50:07 plexamp4 node[592]: info: [CLOUD] Registered device.

Using netcat to check for open ports from another Pi, I get: ```auto root@PiHole-3Bplus-2:~# nc -z -v plexamp4.kingsville.lan 20000 Connection to plexamp4.kingsville.lan 20000 port [tcp/*] succeeded! ``` So I know the port can be reached. Do you have a firewall running on the Mint machine? ---
