Having a clipped audio issue here with 2.31. If I bring volume anywhere above about 30%, output stutters or is completely clipped off with only clicking sounds being produced. Audio HAT is a HiFiberry Amp2 board.
I did not have this issue before updating to 2.31. Anyone else experiencing this?
Tried with etcher, dd and win32 disk imager. Librelec itself works fine.
I don’t think Plex are using a current enough LibreELEC build to support A+. Plex is at 8.2.5 and A+ needs 8.95.1 so my guess is you’re out of luck till they bump versions (hopefully to 9x)
Thanks, i think that’s the point. Gonna use kodi addon for now.
Any advice on any workarounds until a Plex build is available? I am also trying to use a pi 3a+ with no luck, should have done my research first before buying!
Best ask Hawkeye @gbooker02 but think you need LibreELEC 9 as a base for PMP
Nope, I’m not the one to ask as I don’t work on PMP. Updating the LE version to 8.2.5 was something I did as an experiment because it ended up being simple but that is the complete extent of my involvement with PMP. I’m not the person to ask. Also, please don’t send me any more PMs.
Oops, my mistake. I’m not clear on the process by which these builds are created but reading the whole thread again I now see these are community created with no support or advise from Plex themselves. The original poster and supplier of the build appears to be @stedaniels - I wonder if he has any thoughts - if only to advise if there is an active community over on Github or if we’re into DIY to get LibreELEC 9.
Hi guys,
Do you have an idea to boot this image on a RPI zero w?
PS : eatcher, win32, won’t boot. (rpi2-arm image)
Thx
Did you format the SD and removed partioning before flashing the image on SD with Balena Etcher? If you do that, the flash will be without errors. At least for me it works like that, if I try to flash a new build without doing anything to the SD it will always indicate a failure after validation.
I have encountered the same. There is a new 2.35 build which I am curious if multi channel works again.
Currently still using 2.29 because that’s working for pass-through AC3/DTS also.
But it looked like it had some issue with EAC3.
Still broken in 2.35 and 2.36. I’m still using 2.29 as well. Hopefully one day we might get another advocate for the Pi to take up the challenge of supporting this community build. I see the RP4 has just been released and I’m guessing the LibreElec core build will need updating as it still does for the Zero. Such a useful platform, the Pi, for Plex.
It’s also a tad frustrating that as the LibreELEC version hasn’t changed for a while, that any variation in passthru behavior would likely be in the PMP code, if only a PMP engineer were to happen by. 
The solution provided at 397769 works for me on my RPi2. If I turn off sound feedback then passthrough magically works again! I can confirm this works on both 2.35.1 and 2.36.
Many thanks - works for me too !
OK, dummy question. I’ve been trying to use Rasplex with an RPi3 for a while, seemed to get it going for a while some months back, then it won’t work again (does for short spurts if I fool with it a lot) and is just generally random and infuriating. I’m using it ONLY for audio music playing from a Plex server on a NAS, with a digital audio hat out on the Pi. I don’t care about video or even more than stereo, I just need it to be able to stay connected and not crash. So, dumb question is: should I try the ‘Plex Media Player Embedded’ here instead of Rasplex? I see all kinds of issues here as well, but it seems like I could live with many of them.
Maybe the 2.24.0.1-c1209fe2.RPi2-arm.img version (which I already downloaded). Can I assume I can just burn that onto a microSD for the Pi3, or is there more to it?
Or should I just look for some other kind of Plex player device. Or install Kodi and run Plex in that? Or something other than Plex, it’s starting to seem like maybe it’s just not the right choice for a music player.
Try the latest 2.37 build - now that I’ve sorted the passthru I’ve got no complaints. Works for music, and can simultaneously play slideshows. No visualisations which is a shame.
As you say, you just burn to SD card https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/and pop it in. Good price (free !) so give it a whirl. On a Pi your choices are pretty limited to Kodi or Plex. JRiver is pretty good for music if you have a PC, Mac or x86 Linux.
Thanks Kevin. I ordered a new microsd card to use, will load up the 2.37 build and give it a try.
I don’t care about visualizations, as I run my setup headless (as much as I can – there’s a display I can turn on to get things going). I thought about just getting a FireStick, but then I’d need something to convert HDMI output to an optical audio output to feed the system.
Unfortunately, JRiver won’t run on my NAS. Though I may just assign one of our spare PCs to do that duty instead if I can’t get the Pi working reliably.
I apologize if I’m being slow and missed it, but is there a step by step for installing the overnight builds to a SSD?
I have a NUC6i7KYK with an M.2 SSD which I’d like to use as a PMP box (overkill, I know, but its just sitting gathering dust). I know I could write the image to an SD card and go from there, but I’d prefer to install to the internal SSD if I can.
Thanks,
Paul
I need a later Kernel, LibreELEC 9.0 boots, but with PMP I cannot get it to boot, and XORG fails.
See here: PMP Intel NUC8I3BEK no drivers/network
Is there a way to manually update the kernels? OR get PMP built off LibreELEC 9 and up?
Sees so horrible, that you pay for Plex Pass and I cant use it properly. I have a work around using LibreELEC 9 and Plex plugin, but its horrible, and its 2 levels in, and the Wife hates it!
I just flashed 2.37.2 on my rpi 3b+ and it seems to work so far…
Is there any way to get librespot running on the system? I looks like there is no package manager on the system.
