Hi all,
I have got some troubles getting RasPlex to work.
A couple of days ago I first saw infos about the RasPlex project and was very amazed and directly ordered a Raspberry Pi from Amazon (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B008PT4GGC/ref=oh_details_o05_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to get my not very smart 42LG6000 in my bedroom to work with Plex.
In my living room I've got a Synology Nas with Plex Media Server Version 0.9.7.28 (Plex/Web Version 1.2.22) connected to my Samsung TV. It works great nearly a year now.
But the troubles came faster than I thought.
First I used the Official RasPlex Installer for Windows and flashed the 0.3.1 image to a 16GB SD card from my digital Camera (level 10).
Then I plugged the HDMI, Ethernet and power cable (Micro USB Charger from a Mobile, 4.75V, 0.55A).
RasPlex booted up, showed me the install wizard and first I did not know how to use it without Remote :) The Pley app on my mobile did not find the Rasplex so I pulled the power cable and connected a USB keyboard.
Now I switched the Simplink in the LG menu to on to get the LG remote work (would be great to have that in the description; it needed several boot processes before I recognized the CEC information...;o)).
The Problem:
After I entered the settings I saw the Plex-Folders served by my Server. But after 1-2 Minutes, the Screen went black. oO
That happens now everytime I want to us RasPlex. Sometimes after 1 Minute (in the boot process), sometimes after I was able to configure the newly imaged SD - but I never was able to start a movie - I was able to browse, saw the movie icons but thats all. The screen wents black to fast.
Several times I smashed the image when powering the Raspberry of (I assume). After powering it off I got the following message within the next boot (within all SD cards):
***Error in mount_storage: mount_common: Could not mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 ***
*** Starting debugging shell... type exit to quit ###
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
#
The only thing helped was to put a fresh image back on the SD card.
The LEDs so far (while I'm writing, ~30 minutes):
Orange: on
Green: blinks (normal frequency)
Green: on
Red: on
Green: blinks (mad frequency)
What I have done so far:
- I used 2 more SD cards (one level 4 (micro with adapter), one level 10)
- I used 0.3.1, 9.9.1.5 and rasplex-crashissues.img.gz, same as above - the screen wents black after an erratic amount of time, but never more than 3 minutes...
- I surely put images new on the cards for 15 times now
- I changed the HDMI cable
- I used at least 4 different power supplies.The first one is really weak - I did not think about it, but I raised the power more and more. The last try was with the 5V, 2A from the Galaxy S4 - but with no success at all :(
What else can I try. I would really really appreciate to get this to work...:'(
Cherrs,
Manu
