Hi
I've just got my first Raspberry Pi and have installed Rasplex on a 16GB Sandisk micro SD.
From Windows, I can see the SD card contains the files written to it.
When I start up the PI with the SD card inserted, I just get a large rainbow coloured square on the screen. Is there anything else I need to do to get past this point?
Thanks
This is a full screen rainbow splash screen on start up. It doesn't progress any further.

Of course - what an obvious oversight. I have a Pi2. I was so keen to get things running I missed that :wacko:
Thanks for the help.
I wrote this on "Release 0.6.0 which wasn't the right place
"Just installed 0.6.0 and it works perfectly, on my raspberry pi 512 mb, yesterday i bought a Pi2, and the problem started, I get a multicolored square over my tv-screen and nothing more happens,maybe this is the wrong forum for this, and that I shoud ask at raspberry insted? If anyone has some suggestion for solving this I'll be very grateful."
But I have a rPi2 and I have used the image for rPi2 and I have that beatiful splash screen, but it is a little boring after 2 minutes. I have just bought a new card because my old was a class 4 but that didn´t solve the problem,so I dont know what to do right now.
Kind regards

Re my Splash acreen.
I downloded a new imagefile and wrote that to my card and then it worked perfect, someething must have happend with the first file.
It seemsthat the new raspberry is well worth its price.
Regards
Same problem here.. tried to download the image five times... always the rainbow screen <_< 0.5 works fine on the RPi2

When the correct RasPlex image of a recent version is correctly flashed to a good SD card and booted on the RPi2 you should never see the rainbow screen at all.
The fact that this screen is visible means that the real boot process never started, so no real bugs of RasPlex can be responsible.
There are several things that can prevent an SD card from booting, but the most common reason for this particular symptom is the use of an RPi1 image for RPi2.
Are you 100% certain the RasPlex image you downloaded for the new version is indeed the image intended for the RPi2, and not the one intended for the RPi1 ?
In connection with such problems it's important to realize that the old 'GetRasPlex' application doesn't name the download files properly, using identical filenames for the RPi1 and the RPi2 version. You do see a difference in its GUI when selecting which image to download, but either one will be stored using the same filename. And this means that anyone who downloads both images to the same folder (without renaming the first one) will end up with just one image file. Many people who own both an RPi1 and an RPi2 (so they need both images) have made this mistake, ending up with a single image that will only run properly on one of these RPi models.

Ok, thank you dlanor! I now carefully looked at the name of the downloaded file and with rpi2 it worked. Don´t know why the installer downloaded the rpi1 version altough i selected rpi2. Ok, now i´m happy :)
