HiFiBerry Digi+ on RasPlex

I was wondering if someone managed to get their HiFiBerry Digi+ working on RasPlex. It is working on both OpenELEC 5 and 6 by only adding these lines:

dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
dtdebug=1

When I add these lines one RasPlex, HiFiBerry is selectable from the setting menu. However, when selected the GUI freezes and a hard reboot is needed to bring it back form the dead.

Yep, it works fine with my RasPi 2. The sound will drop for a split second every now and then when I’m using the coax output, but no problems otherwise.
Have you tried reinstalling RasPlex? That’s always fixed any freezes for me.

I have it running from my RasPi2 with the Digi+ to my external DAC. Works just as described above.

I have been using it for a year or so. Flawless. I started using the Coax connection, but recently changed DAC’s and now have the optical connection. I have a HifiBerry Amp+ in another room. Works ok, it struggles with some very high resolution recordings. The Digi+ has never stuttered or anything. I am using hardwire connections for both.

I would re-install Rasplex. The setup information on the HifiBerry site is helpful.

But initialy a had the same probleme as you.
The answer is in the config file comment
You have to comment the line :

Apparently this was only needed for the Pi3 (which I have) and it worked indeed! I’ve switched tot an Odroid C2 a while back, but I had to see if your solution actually worked, and it did!
