You can already install Plexamp on mobile devices, as well as macOS, Windows, and Linux, but there has been work in the past on a \u201cheadless\u201d version of Plexamp as a streaming target. The idea is that you could install the headless version on a low-end PC, which could output audio based on controls from another device. It\u2019s like the now-discontinued Chromecast Audio or Amazon Echo Input, except just for Plex (and uses existing hardware).<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Set Up Plex (and Watch Your <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movies<\/a> on Any Device)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elan Feingold, CTO and Co-Founder at Plex, shared an early build of a Plexamp server for the Raspberry Pi on Tuesday. Once it\u2019s downloaded to a Pi and opened, you can play music through a web interface on any web browser on the same local network, or choose the Pi as an output in the Plexamp app on other devices. You can also install the Plexamp server as a system service that starts at boot, for a more Chromecast Audio-like experience.

This new build is still in the early stages, but the setup is much less complicated than earlier attempts.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear at this point when (or if) the Raspberry Pi headless builds will be supported on the same level as Plexamp on other platforms. With the Chromecast Audio and Echo Input now discontinued, there are far fewer options for streaming your own music collection to speakers in your home. Google doesn\u2019t currently sell any Chromecasts or smart displays\/speakers with a dedicated audio output, and even though there are some Alexa smart speakers with that feature, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/product-reviews\/B01NBB1INY?tag=htgnews-20\">Plex\u2019s integration with Alexa isn\u2019t great<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Head on down to the source link below for the installation instructions. The only hard requirement is a Raspberry Pi capable of running 64-bit software. The forum post didn\u2019t mention if you also need 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS or not.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3607085\/type\/am\/sid\/803133\/https:\/\/forums.plex.tv\/t\/future-of-plexamp-on-raspberry-pi\/717577\/161\">Plex Forums<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
