Okay, so let me start by saying that I’m sorry I haven’t been around the last 9 months or so. I know I kind of disappeared. I suck. The real world sort of ate my life there for a bit, but I’d like to get this moving again if possible.
To that end, I would like to posit that I am not the best person to run this project. I’m not a serious C/C++ programmer. I have a job that eats my time and a house rather seriously under renovation. If I was a realistic sort I wouldn’t have started trying to make this thing work in the first place, but I am, sadly, realistic enough to realize that I just don’t have the time to commit to maintaining this, getting it to the point that it is a real, packaged, available project people can use on a daily basis.
So. I am not the person to run this show, but I suspect that person may be out there. If you think you’re that person, this would be the place to say so. I really do want this project to survive, so if someone who has experience managing an open source project like this can step up, I’d definitely prefer to hand it off to him or her. I mean, you can always just clone the git repo and go from there (and I wouldn’t blame you), but what I’d really like to see is someone I can hand over the existing git repo to and be a contributor rather than trying to drive the bus.
Did any person apply?
Maybe it’s time for a kickstarter project…
with the new Plex Home Theater build including: airplay and audioengine
The Linux build would be almost perfect!
This is sad, how do people watch their media on a tv? doesn’t anyone see the benefit of getting a linux version fully stable. I want to take this project on, but I don’t know if i’m the guy to do it. I’m a java developer, though I did C for 2 years, i’m pretty sure i’d be in over my head with this, but if nobody else is going to do it, I guess it can’t hurt. I’m also worried i’d be writing the same message on the board as you, I have a full time job, and after a while i feel i’ll lose interest in a side project like this. Finally, I don’t even know the current state of this. Is this only supported on debian releases? is their arm support? What i’m really interested in, is getting a working version of plex on an arm processor, so that it can be put on a rasberry pi, or xios DS.
Elan recently on the following blog post with some relevant info:

With this, I sincerely hope that they follow through, as I feel the raspberry pi would be the perfect Plex client.
¿It its to hard to do app that only play videos and little by little add new stuff to it? Just asking…
