![]() ![]() Since the technology decision is nowadays a commitment to a certain manufacturer or streaming provider. I personally already browsed for a well-suited device but didn’t buy it in the end, cause of the high price or maybe also because I didn’t really know what technology to go for. Surely, one could also just buy a streaming device that supports all the technologies necessary. ![]() What if I told you there is an easy way to give your HiFi system an upgrade by reusing that Raspberry pi which is getting dusty somewhere between your other tech gadgets. So many of us still have this old HiFi system, that did cost a fortune back in the time but isn’t used so often anymore since we mostly stream music from Spotify, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Youtube, and other streaming platforms. The forum post didn't mention whether you also need a 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS or not.This post shows how to use a Raspberry Pi to build an audio receiver supporting Bluetooth streaming, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and, UPnP. The only hardware requirement is a Raspberry Pi capable of running 64-bit software. Go to the source link below for installation instructions. Google doesn't currently sell any Chromecasts or smart displays/speakers with a dedicated audio output, and while there are Alexa smart speakers with this feature, Plex's integration with Alexa isn't great. With Chromecast Audio and Echo Input now discontinued, there are far fewer options for casting your own music collection to your home speakers. It's unclear at this point when (or if) headless versions of Raspberry Pi will be supported at the same level as Plexamp on other platforms. This new version is still in its early stages, but setup is much less complicated than previous attempts. There were a few betas in 2019, but this version required an authentication token taken from earlier versions of Plexamp and an older (now unsecured) version of Node. This isn't the first time that Plex has experimented with a remotely accessible version of Plexamp for the Raspberry Pi. There's even support for the PiFi Digi+ board, which attaches to the top of a Raspberry Pi and adds an improved audio chip and optical output. You can also install Plexamp Server as a system service that starts on boot, for a more Chromecast Audio-like experience. on any web browser on the same local network, or choose the Pi as the output in the Plexamp app on other devices. Once it's downloaded to a Pi and opened, you can play music through a web interface. RELATED: How to Set Up Plex (and Watch Your Movies on Any Device)Įlan Feingold, CTO and co-founder of Plex, shared an early build of a Plexamp server for the Raspberry Pi on Tuesday. It's like the now discontinued Chromecast Audio or Amazon Echo Input, except just for Plex (and uses existing hardware). The idea is that you could install the headless version on a low-end PC, which could output audio based on commands from another device. 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 "headless" version of Plexamp as a streaming target. Plex lets you store a collection of music files to stream to any other device with the Plex app, but the Plex team also has a dedicated music player called Plexamp with a cleaner interface.
