Plexamp Headless on Moode 9+

[ehsan2023]

I was highly interested in being able to use my plexamp client to stream music to moode.
Over the years, I used to use a simple solution called plexdlnaplayer to bridge my plexamp client to moode's UPNP renderer.

So I haven't touched a headless plexamp installation in quite some time. 

My question now is:

- do you actually need plexamp headless? I mean does it add any additional features or do we simply need the option to stream from a plexamp client?
- how much overhead does plexamp headless add?

I'm asking these questions because a solution like I described above is simpler, its only a tiny, tiny docker container or app (depending on your preferred usage) which bridges plexamp client of UPNP. There are no licensing problems and no distribution problems.

Anyway, I am really happy to see work happening on integrating plexamp clients with moode.

- do you actually need plexamp headless? I mean does it add any additional features or do we simply need the option to stream from a plexamp client?
If you wish to use raspberryPi as an independent Plexamp player without using your other devices to stream. I am not sure if you solution changes the file format or quality during transfer but that is also another risk while using a middleware.
- how much overhead does plexamp headless add?
Nothing noticeable as per my experience. I use Raspberry Pi 4.
