I would like to be able to play my files from plex, but also surf the internet with a web browser, is that possible ?

Rasplex works amazing with my rpi2.

Im very picky about sound quality, used a lot of different solutions (appletv1/2/3, roku3, runeaudio and everything in between) and this is my preferred one, sound quality is great.

thanks again.

What size sd card would be needed if i cache my entire librarys artwork ?

Would a 16gb sdcard be enough for 4-5tb of media ?

How does one calculate amount of space required ?

Evening all. I decided to upgrade my Rasplex client pi from a 2B to a 3B+ yesterday and I'm kinda wishing I hadn't. This thing, no matter what I do, WILL. NOT. BOOT.

Downloaded the installer, and per some documentation on a rasplex forum the RPi2 image should work for PiZeroW and RPi3/b+. It doesn't. I've literally tried 20 different sd cards and imaging with 4 different computers and nothing works. Insert card, power Pi on and it sits at the Rainbow splash screen. Put the same SD card in my RPi2b and it boots to Rasplex. Have successfully flashed Raspbian to an SD card and confirmed the RPi3b+ boots fully and works 100%.

WTF is going on here????

But I am really not seeing much of an improvement. When I watch some 1080p content its still 'jerky' in some scenes. With my roku plex app and the same content I do not have these issues. This is a pi3 and I offload all audio decoding to a receiver. I checked and the content is direct play h264.

I have a bunch of recorded TV (4000+ films and 3000+ TV shows over 10+ years) that I encoded to a format that worked with my WD TV (MP4 container, h264 video, MP3 audio). Re-encoding these isn't an option.

Rasplex can't direct play these, but they play just fine if I set it to force transcoding. If I don't, It thinks is can play them, but they stutter and don't work.

However, I have a bunch of other later HD content from DVDs and TV shows. These direct play fine, but if I force transcoding my NAS (Atom processor) lacks the grunt to transcode.

So I have to keep going into settings and enabling/disabling force transcoding, depending on what I want to play.

Is there a way of changing settings to force the server to transcode certain types of content for Rasplex, but not other content? Later encoded content with AAC audio seems to work just fine.

Is there a way to enable song lyrics to display on Rasplex like they do on my iOS app? I have Plex Pass and love the song lyric feature.

I am running OpenPHT 1.8 on a Wetek Hub and the thing keeps turning my TV on randomly throughout the day and night. Is anyone else having this issue? It is super irritating. I ultimately shut down CEC pass-thru on my AVR and plugged in a Flirc for remote control as a work-around.

I understand that I can't use a single Raspberry Pi as a server and a player for Plex, but I am trying to conceptualize an "all-in-one" player that can be used when there is no network available.

With 1 Raspberry Pi configured with Rasplex and another configured with Plex Media Server, can I direct connect the Pi units with an ethernet cable and have it work?

I have been running RasPlex on a Pi3 for about 6 months. Just seems like it has slowed down soo much. Navigating libraries takes forever for Coverart to populate. I have precached a million times, even did a fresh install of RasPlex. This slowness is experienced with the default skin as well and the Aeon Flux skin.

It is driving me nuts as it really impacts the enjoyment of using it as my media client. I would really like to install a couple more in my house, but am hesitant since Im now not happy with how this one is performing.

I do not have it overclocked at all. I did it for a while and all it seemed to do was make the system more unstable.

Anyone else have this experience?

Running Plex on a Pi3 with a slow 8 gb card that came with the kit.

I've been getting the "not enough disk space to convert item" warning a lot lately (seemingly more than it used to) so I upgraded to a 32 gB sd card and cloned the previous card using Win32Diskimager. I'm still getting the same warning. Is it because I cloned the previous card and it's only allocated for 8 gB of space? What's the best way to fix? Thanks.

On a similar note, I haven't upgraded to the latest version of Plex because I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet (yes, another Pi noob who just followed a YouTube video to initially set it up). I was temped to just load a fresh copy on the new SD Card and start from scratch but I've put quite a bit of time into organizing my Plex.

I know rasplex can support HDMI and analog out, but can it do HDMI and USB audio out? I have my pi hooked up to my TV, then TV to DAC, and a direct connection USB to DAC. I'd like to be able to switch between the two inputs on the DAC without mucking around in the rasplex settings.

So, Recently the raspberry pi will crash and reboot the second you move the menu to a media folder.

(ive uploaded a video to youtube as my explaining skills are not great)

https://youtu.be/4y-3pHwga3Y

basically, when i try and select any menu (movies, tv and so on) it just crashes.

I cant figure out what may be causing it, i have reinstalled and even tried using it with the plex app on my phone to access the media that way but the second it loads a file it crashes.

The micro sd card seems ok as it installed perfectly fine.

I have the pi 2 model b.

I have this strange issue.

When using my projector i can't use TV CEC-remote.

So when i use the projector i instead control my rasplex from the android official android Plex app.

From it i connect to the rasplex device to use it's remote functions. Not casting, just remote.

Pretty neat.

But when i play media, it causes strange random image freezes.

Freezes the image 3-4 seconds, meanwhile the the audio continues.

Happens randomly once every 10-15 minutes, i.e if i skip back and replay it does not happen again in the same scene.

Took a while for me to figure out it that the plex app was causing this.

The workaround so far is that i start playing the media, then i disconnect the app to the rasplex and close down the app meanwhile it keeps playing on the rasplex.

Voila no more freezes.

I guess i will try see if can setup some type of bluetooth control for the rasplex instead.

How do I install IPSec VPN client on a Rasplex?

Just found out about this project and looking forward to trying it out. Any idea on when your case's will be out?

I am trying to add media to my plex server. I have connected a usb hard drive to my Plex. The media doesn't show up on when I try to add libraries.

I looked up online for a solution. I have a ntfs disk, I edited /etc/fstab file to mount my drive to /media folder. When I reboot the drive is mounted to media but I am unable to access it. Can anyone help me with this?

Is it possible to install a Package Manager on Rasplex?

I'm trying to add another user to rasplex through CLI and wanted to just check here as well before I moved on as I haven't been able to find much.

Basically I'm using Pi to WOL my media server from my phone in or outside my home network. I also have quad-boot setup though so depending on what was being used at the time (RetroPie,RasPlex,Raspbian, or OSMC) it may need a different user to ssh into the Pi. Which is fine, it would just be nice if I could have a single user created in all partitions that I can ssh into. I've managed to create a wol user for the other partitions but I'm guessing since rasplex is using openelec, it's quite limited as to what I can do here.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Realized It's not going to matter anyway as I can't apt-get, found a this and it seems to be working for what I need: http://openelec.tv/forum/12-guides-tips-and-tricks/12470-howto-automatic-wake-on-lan-script-on-openelec-startup

Twitch app has been running flawless for weeks until today. Anyone else having the same problem. All the currently streaming streams load and are up to date but upon attempting to view one I get an error that the channel is not responding.

For a while now, I have been missing cover art for some movies using RasPlex. In attempt to resolve this issue, I went online to Plex and tried refreshing the library. That did not work. I also tried updating the library. Now no cover art is displayed (but the description of the movies remain in tact). What can I try next to fix this issue?

I should add that the cover art all current DOES show on PLEX, but none on my Raspberry Pi, using RasPlex.

Hello I am having trouble displaying subtitles on rasplex +LGTV UH850V, the image is correct but the subtitles somehow don't show as one, and remain SBS? Any clue? Thanks

First things first, the pi is powered via a power adapter, not USB to to the TV. Whenever I turn my TV, the rasplex screen is dark and I'm unable to connect to it via the plex remote app on my phone. So I have to hit a button on a keyboard to wake up Plex, then Plex is connectable on my phone.

Is there a sleep/hibernate setting I need to turn off? I can't seem to find much in terms of support articles for this issue.
