I'm pretty sure someone is going to say look a the log files, but which one(s) and what to look for? So what I would like to know is how I go about diagnosing the issue. I think I have previously managed to get a command prompt to appear with a keyboard short cut, but any commands like reboot or similar entered were ignored. I have rebooted and stopped both the Plex items, left the machine logged in on SSH and after a few hours it had died (to SSH). Regarding installed software, aside from what comes as standard, the only things I've installed/setup up are Plex Media Server, PlexAmp, and Samba. When I say crashes, what I find is that it can no longer be connected to, if connect a monitor etc, I will find the that task bar, Raspberry button, etc have all gone, all I have is the background and a mouse pointer that is responsive. The SSD is plugged into a USB hub, which is then plugged into the Raspberry Pi, so the SSD is powered up before the Raspberry Pi starts and isn't drawing power from the Raspberry Pi, the socket to the Raspberry Pi has been modified to prevent back powering. The power supply is giving a solid 5.16V and has the capability to supply about 6A. It's booting from an SSD drive rather than an SD card. This is an app “as is” which works fine, but need definitely more.I have an issue with a Raspberry Pi that crashes after a few hours. I hope Plex Labs will build a full sized app some day with even more features. It’s also most likely a feature and not a bug, but I hate that I can’t focus it since it lies in the menubar area of my Mac OS. UI is great, but for my “old” eyes, it’s perhaps too small. While it is sufficient for my daily use, it’s not perfect. I have to manually go through my massive collection to get everything out of Plexamp. Grapevine is great, but for my underground library it is not. This can be considered as both advantage and disadvantage, but I’m quite sure many of my readers don’t have a home server so that’s why this is a clear downside. While I personally love servers and setting up my own media files, not many do. You can listen through your related songs with just one click, how great is that? Con: Needs a server This feature is familiar from Spotify or Google Play, but I’m amazed you can do the same with your own music collections. Mp3 and flac is all you need, but if you’d happen to have aiff or wma, let’s play it! Library and artist radios Great, huh? Supports almost any music format You can download the app for Windows, Mac and Linux. That means blazing fast performance, no lags or hiccups! Gapless playbackĭidn’t remember how much I missed this feature! Listening to a Pink Floyd and Devin Townsend is a godlike experience. Well, let’s skip to the pros and cons, shall we? Fast performanceĪpp is small not only by its user interface, but I read it’s coded well. Remember Winamp? Plexamp is just like the original Winamp, kinda. The biggest disadvantage was the lack of any solid desktop player.Īfter my occasional googling of music server and music apps, I stumbled upon Plexamp. The music server and gravenote didn’t convince me first. Well, there’s Plex! It’s the best media server currently available and couple of years ago they opened their music service for the Plex Pass owners. Open source server side software like Subsonic, Madsonic and variants are ugly and need lots of work. Less known Roon is great but very expensive for a system that doesn’t work from outside of the home network. Google Play Music comes close since it hosts all your mp3s, but it lacks in metadata. Spotify is near perfect, but for a big music nerd like me it still lacks some of the more underground side of music and has quite limited support for your own mp3s. I’ve been searching for the perfect music player forever.
