![]() ![]() Now I'm curious to see how well the Emby apps work. The Plex app on Tizen (Samsung TV) is pretty flakey and picky, but this is could be a Samsung thing - the TV stopped supporting my Sony bluetooth headset after a recent firmware update, so it could be het the Tizen OS just sucks. That said, Emby seems to have really caught up since I last looked (~5 years ago) and now seems to have all these features, too. The most valuable aspects of Plex, to me at least, is it's transcoder (I travel a ton), how pervasive the Plex app is on smart TVs and other devices, and the fact that user don t have to buy apps for their devices if you have Plex Pass. I'm just very diligent about making sure that all of my movies and shows have the "show or movie name (releaseyear)" and shows have well-defined season subfolders, so if I have to re-match stuff, at least 90% of it will match automatically. I wish Plex actualy saved ALL it's settings int it's DB/folder structure to make it more portable. I appreciate this approach, VS Kodi's, which spams a bunch of metadata files into the media folders. Unfortunately the best resource for this is the Plex subreddit which is currently part of the blackout.Ĭlick to expand.Well, if Plex pulls a "twitter" move and enshitifies, it would be easy enough to switch because the server info is self-contained and it doesn't mutilate or depend on the source files nor touch the file structure. ![]() I'm not exactly sure what is contained in the Windows Registry, I assume it's the same stuff that was in the ~/Library/Preferences/ on the mac, and I didn't even bother with that file when I did my move. After everything was settled, I removed the old paths and everything's been working great. I shut down the service, copied the Plex Media Server Folder from the old to the new, restarted the service, and then added the new paths to the media to each of the libraries. What I did is set up the new server, not really configuring any libraries and just making sure it wasn't set to automatically empty the trash. I didn't care about that, I just didn't want to have to redo my libraries, playlists, etc. Rediscover, curate, or completely lose yourself in the music that made you with Plexamp. ![]() Most the pain is when you want the new server to BE the old server in terms of external sharing and the like. Imagine loving music so much that you pour your heart, soul, and engineering know-how into creating a completely custom music player for audiophiles just like you. This new build is still in the early stages, but the setup is much less complicated than earlier attempts.Let me caveat this with I have not done Windows to Linux, only Mac to Docker, but from my reading before I did it, If all you're worried about, is libraries, metadata, watch count and the like it's not difficult. There were a few beta builds back in 2019, but that version required an authentication token extracted from earlier versions of Plexamp and an old (now insecure) version of Node. This isn't the first time 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 enhanced audio chip and optical output. You can also install the Plexamp server as a system service that starts at boot, for a more Chromecast Audio-like experience. ![]() Once it's 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.
