![]() ![]() Initially headless PlexAmp was running on the same linux kernel as Volumio but an older Node version than volumio (so the trick was to have 2 node instances running) - but they have moved forward to a new linux kernel and a newer Node. The Plex side of this plugin is to provide Plex audio + Plex metadata in Volumio and the PlexAmp side of this plugin is to allow Volumio to act as an endpoint for the PlexAmp mobile App. ![]() So I mostly have been looking at better error logging and handling of unexpected responses from Plex.Īs far as headless PlexAmp integration, PlexAmp uses a similar platform to Volumio so in lots of ways they can work together well and this plugin was started to help that along. He was pretty helpful but they have different priorities and an open public documented API is not one of them, but by scraping together enough information from other projects on Github I was mostly able to understand how to integrate, but I believe some of the problems people have had are when their Plex Setup is different and therefore the undocumented Plex API’s behave a little different than I expect. Thanks - I did briefly chat to the CTO of Plex in relation to the PlexAmp side of this plugin. The Album view doesn’t seem to work on music libraries that haven’t been ‘sonically’ analysed - I try to pull in ‘similar’ sounding albums into that view but obvously on libraries without sonic analysis it not handling it correctlyĪnyway, hopefully I can figure out what is different about other peoples setup and get you guys playing some music with this plugin.The latest artist list seems to query all Plex Media (not just music) - I have a dedicated Plex server just for music so I hadn’t noticed this the other day but I will fix this ASAP.You should be able to view this list in the settings (but obviously there must be some error that I am not getting that is happening in most other setups that I need to investigate).īeyond that I have to fix a few bugs over the weekend: But in the settings it should show (at least it does for me) a list of Music Libraries on specific Plex Servers (I have 2 local network servers and 3 music libraries). The plugin then queries all servers for a list of ‘Music’ libraries and again for now I pick the first music library it finds. ones on people home network - I will add support for remote servers soon) - you might see an ECONN error in the logs if the plugin cannot connect to the ‘first’ Plex server returned by the Plex Cloud e.g. What is suppose to happen after the initial linking with the PIN is the plugin will query Plex cloud for a list of Plex servers - at the moment, I just pick the first Plex server from the list and I only support ‘local’ servers (i.e. ![]() I think for this version I will add lots of error logging (until we get it working reliably for everyone) and that will hopefully show me what is different about other peoples setup. I will do some testing over the weekend and hopefully release a fixed version. Guys thanks for trying the plugin - I obviously need to work on the initial download / setup. ![]()
