MoOde is miles ahead of Plexamp with respect to a pure sound path and offers excellent support for internet radio which Plexamp does not offer at all. Plex / Plexamp is many miles ahead of moOde with respect to building and maintaining playlists, as well as generating “smart” playlists, and also handles media metadata automatically for you in a fairly sophisticated way. Why wouldn't you just use the one you prefer? What is the benefit of doing this, it looks like you're just going to have two things that essentially have the same function?

I feel the headless PlexAmp lacks some control over the DAC hardware that Moode provides and the Equaliser is very primitive so having both options on the one bit of hardware is great IMO So It can do things like create 'radio' stations based around sonically similar albums that I have in my collection. This sonic analysis is then available to all clients including the headless RPI client. album reviews, lyrics (almost like Roon) and if you run Plex on an Intel machine (with a GPU) you get some ML / Sonic analysis. The headless RPI option (And the ability to run side by side with Moode) mostly means I can have a single set of playlists, a single source of "playback tracking" what I have played recently etc So for me PlexAmp (and Plex in general) provides a central location for my music not only on my network but also when I am away from home (via its excellent IOS and Android Apps). Would love some more integrated solution but this is great for now. Great, thanks for this guide will set it up later. Next we’re going to install nvm which allows us to install specific versions of node: If you don’t know how to SSH into moOde, check the first part of the setup guide. All of the following commands take place starting in the /home/pi directory (which is where you should be when you access your moOde install via SSH). NOTE: you do need to have a Plex Media Server and be a Plex Pass subscriber to use Plexamp (but this is probably not an interesting topic for you if you are not).įirst you need to get SSH access to your moOde install. 8.2.2+ on a Pi (I have this running on a 3B+). So here is a step-by-step guide to installing Plexamp (v. In practice it’s not that bad in my opinion. Each one takes a little time to let go of the alsa device. It actually works OK side-by-side with the only real kludgy part being that when you stop playing something via moOde / MPD you have to wait a few seconds before you can start playback via Plexamp and vice versa. It would be a lot of work (and I’m short on spare time right now)Ģ. With the new 64-bit moOde I’ve been itching to put them together on one Pi.Īt some point I may have time to attempt a cleaner integration with Plexamp acting like an external renderer much like the roonbridge component (and throw Tim some PRs), but having looked at it, I have to admit two things:ġ. It’s been long-awaited by certain Plex gearheads (including me). Plex has recently released an all-new headless 64-bit RPi version of Plexamp.
