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). Doing so, though, can decrease the performance of Plex until the cache is rebuilt.Plex has recently released an all-new headless 64-bit RPi version of Plexamp. While it isn't recommended, or needed, you can also clear out the Cache directory. Keep in mind that there will be a delay when viewing the photos again as the thumbnails would need to recreated and then added back to the cache. To clear the cache, simply delete all directories in the PhotoTranscoder directory. If you do wish to clear out the cache, then you can find the photo cache in the following directory: /Cache/PhotoTranscoder Other than that, there isn't any real benefit to clearing out the photo cache on your Plex server. The only real issue with the photo cache is that it can get large if you have a lot of photos. The thumbnail cache speeds up the viewing of the photo library as each photo won't need to have its thumbnail created. While the transcoding files are usually temporary - for the time it takes to stream the necessary transcoded file chunks - the photo thumbnails are persistent. The location of the media cache directory is: /Cache This directory will contain files such as photo thumbnails when viewing photos from a client, and temporary files for transcoding media. Plex also manages a cache directory for media. This way if something does happen, you can recover the directory. To delete the cache, you would just delete the directory associated to the item.įor example, if you would like to clear the cache for "The Move Database" agent, you would delete the following directory: /Plug-in Support/Caches/Īn alternative to deleting the directory, is to rename it or move it to a different directory. Within the above directory there are subdirectories for each plugin, channel or agent. The actual directory path would be: /Plug-in Support/Caches The cache directory for the plugins, channels and agents is located in the Plex data directory on the server. These cached requests won't typically cause issues, but knowing the location of the cache directories can be useful. When Plex makes HTTP requests through a plugin, channel, or agent, it caches those requests on the server. While it isn't something you will need to do very often, if at all, it may help if a plugin, or agent is causing problems. You may need to clear the cache from your Plex Media Server from time-to-time.
