Did you include mkvtoolnix and ffmpeg package in the Minibian image?
Sofar I can play everything I throw at it when I use my Samsung TV as client, which is my main use of plex. But when trying HD movies with my iPad or iPhone as plex client they can't play it without constantly stopping and buffering. Could be cool to have the same possibilities on my i-devices.
I'm trying to install this on the latest xbian.img. It all goes smooth untill i try to launch the plex server. I get this response.

I didn't, I made it as vanilla as possible. I'm able to watch HD media without those plugins on portable devices. I would try experimenting with the Quality settings in your agent.
Ok thanks to you guys my PMS is running now.
But I do have one huge problem the server doesn't download covers and movieinfos.
It uses self-created / found covers.
When searching in fix incorrect match no match is found.
Very strange i have no idea why it doesn't find anything.
Edit /chroots/wheezy-armel/etc/resolv.conf with correct name servers to fix that
After reading this thread, i think i will start to build rpi2 for plex server... im ordering rpi2 today and i will download the image you build..
btw when all is done, is it headless (only some command shown on monitor) or it have a gui in it (raspbian desktop or something like that)?
Hi, yes if you use the guide you can go headless as soon as you boot up. Check your router for the IP address or hostname of your raspberry pi and use putty (or similar) to ssh to the device.
If you use the image I posted on Page 6 of the thread you need to use a keyboard and screen to fix the network. delete the entry in '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' and put in your DNS servers into /chroots/wheezy-armel/etc/resolv.conf
I'm using the image you posted on on page 6 and Plex is now running but I'm having difficulties adding my movie folder that is hosted on a WD Mycloud NAS. Is there anything else that is needed to be installed so this can be seen by the Plex server?

Thanks.
Have you mounted your drive as described on page 6?
If you can see the media in the chroot/wheezy.../media/ folders then you can access it.
You won't have a dropdown menu in the plex gui to add the folder instead you have to input the correct folder path
Example:
/media/Shows/
/media/Movies/
Don't forget linux is case sensitive and the folder has to exist so dont forget to create them.

After that you can go headless.

thanks for the image and your guide, my rpi2 is running pms flawlessly right know.
im installing lxde to make thing easier, but after im done with samba server and torrent downloader i will run it from console..
btw can you recommend a remote desktop application for rpi2? i wish teamviewer can be installed on rpi2.. :D

Yeah, I've tried but not having much success. Ive added this to /etc/fstab
In your Plex Web GUI you would only add /media/MyCloud.
When trying to mount the share manually i get the following error;
root@raspberrypi:/chroots/wheezy-armel/media/MyCloud# mount -t cifs -o credentials=/smb-credentials,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,rw,soft //192.168.0.12/Movies /chroots/wheezy-armel/media/MyCloud
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.0.12/Movies,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I must have something wrong on the NAS itself. Ill keep searching.
