I installed Rasplex on my old Raspberry PI b+ and on my new PI 2. On the
old PI its rather laggy, on the new PI 2 it runs really really fast. I am very
happy with the result so far. The system seems to work more or less like
the App on my Samsung TV or the App on my android table. One thing
I am missing though. I can not browse directories on my Plex server
(Synoology NAS). I can do that on my TV and on my phone and tablet
but I can't find the feature on Rasplex.
It is a great adaptation to Raspberry regardless, but if there is a way, I

The lack of this ability is a limitation of "Plex Home Theater" for any platform, including the RasPlex implementation. Browsing media sections 'by folder' is a mode implemented only for the 'Home Movie' media section type in "Plex Home Theater". This browsing mode is missing for all media sections with internet-scanned metadata, such as Movies and TV Shows.
Changing this will have to be done in the official "Plex Home Theater" project, of which RasPlex is just an unofficial branch.
