When will be the Playlist Problem fixed?

Does RasPlex work on a Pi 3? I downloaded the 1.6.2 image updater, using my latest raspbian image. When I inserted it into my pi 3, it did boot up like normal but the plex interface never started.

I used the Pi 2 OS and 1.6.2 release through the download option, the UI is now present. I connected my Pi3 to my HDMI monitor, my keyboard, mouse and the audio out to my Bose Soundlink Color speaker. Then I tried to play some music. I’m not getting any audio out. I looked through the settings and couldn’t find anything relevant.

How do I boot the RasPlex box up to the Raspbian UI so that I can update it? Or do I need to ssh into it from my PC and work through everything that way?

Rasplex doesn’t use Raspbian, look at changing the audio output in Preferences, @NedtheNerd has a very informative and useful Audio Guide in this forum section, read it!

Please enable debug logging and share a log.

I Have this Problem also in OpenPHT.

I tried following the Setup instructions and i have a Pi3 but it starts up on a rainbow screen and doesn’t do anything.?

NM figured it out

Since the last update, the forward seeking is very slow. Before the last update it jumped instantly, now I have to wait 2-4 seconds. Is it possible to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

System:
Client: RPi2 with Version: 1.6.2.123-e23a7eef
Server: Ubuntu Server on a HP MicroServer Gen8.

Have you read this https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/223036/guide-configuring-seek-steps

If you want to back to the old way set ‘Skip delay’ to 0.

@NedtheNerd Thank you so much! Now it works fine again :slight_smile:

Was wondering if any other users are still having the problem with playlist not loading? i updated to the most recent rasplex version and still cannot get the IPTV .bundle channel to work. this problem is the same on openPHT Iam on 1.0.1.2396 on an Ubuntu server. i can see all the channels, however when i go to play a channel it appears to load, but there is no picture some channels will not load at all. Channel works great on android or through a web browser. could it be something with the playlist file itself? i have trimmed it down, re-saved it but still no luck. Thanks!

Anyone tested this release with berryboot?
