Hi everyone, Given the number of questions following the recent removal of Plexamp, I wanted to provide a quick follow-up to clarify things. Why Plexamp was removed: Plexamp Headless (the version used on RoPieee) was abandoned. It carried an ongoing maintenance burden due to its JavaScript base and restrictive dependencies. What about Caldera Headless? A new alternative, Caldera Headless, has since emerged. It shares a similar goal, isn’t a JavaScript application (yay!), and looks promising. Why it hasn’t been integrated yet: Integrating a new service isn’t entirely straightforward. Moving forward, any new service must support integration with Verox’s Convenience Switching—otherwise, it’s a no-go. Thanks to @tgp-2 acting as an intermediary, there is now a clear plan for what needs to happen on Caldera’s end to enable this feature. Current Development Status: The foundational work for Caldera is already finished: account linking, service configuration, and audio playback are all functional. The future looks bright, but we are currently waiting on the Caldera team to implement the required changes so I can complete the integration. Hopefully this helps clarify our position on Plex. Thanks! ---

Thanks for the update Harry. As a user of both Roon and Plexamp, I am keen to see Ropieee (or whatever you end up calling it!) return to functioning for both systems. Meanwhile, my Ropieees remain on 2026.5. ---

The [latest Caldera Headless beta](https://forums.plex.tv/t/caldera-music-release-notes/939620/41) seems to have added the required changes 🕺 ---
