I love Rasplex. The .30 release so far has been flawless for me.

I just have a question: since there is no stand-by mode and shutting down requires unplugging the power cable to restart the machine, is it safe to leave the machine on (in plex main menu for example), or is there a risk of over-heating or some other bad stuff potentially leading to frying the box? :)

The RPi does not support sleep states. It should be safe to let it run but unplugging will save some energy…
