Hi,
i am searching for a new Plex client for my parents. There are so much clients i need some help with.

What i am looking for

  • cheap (i use myself raspberry pi)
  • should direct start to flex → very important, it will be only used for flex
  • 4k support
  • if no 4k support should play h265 1080p
  • minimum DTS support better DTS-HD and/or TrueHD
  • with remote (they have no TV with CEC)
  • small → no htpc
  • not that power hungry
  • uses the flex media player ui
  • lan port
  • fast in open, browse and play, or if not all it should play without long buffering

If hope you can tell me some little boys for that. :slight_smile:

Odroid C2 running OpenPHT

For the remote you’ll need to recycle some old remote from e.g. a win´dows media computer or similar. The Odroid has a IR receiver on board. So you’ll need to adapt the IR mapping to the particulkar remote you have.

Alternatively, there will be soon another device also supported by OpenPHT with a very similar chippery inside: Wetek Hub, which comes ready with a remote.

Sounds great, but is not with official PMP Software correct?

Who cares as long as it works?
The Plex devs are “interested” in the Odroid, they said.
