Berry Boot Recent image

dlanor,

Thank you.  This explanation was very helpful!  My USB SNES game controller will be arriving today, so I'll attempt the install of Retropie some time this evening.  Currently I only have Berryboot-> Rasplex.  Your above instructions were flawless.

Question:  I have rasplex set to always transcode in the settings for rasplex as I like to keep it set to 3-4mbps.  I'd assume that purchasing codec licenses would not benefit me due to that?

Yes. If everything is transcoded, then it's up to the Plex Media Server to deal with the separate CODECs of the files, transcoding these into a form that RasPlex can play natively without extra CODEC licenses.

Such usage does place a greater burden on the server of course, so it needs to run on a more powerful system.

The server machine should be a 'real' PC (simple NAS servers are notoriously bad at transcoding).
