OpenELEC presentation for PLEX?

[ziggimon]

Sorry for bumping this thread. 
 
I have been trying to get Plex for OpenELEC to run on my 1st gen ATV,
ran the intel bundle installer to write on the usb with success, but the ATV won't boot from it...
 
I know it's possible to run the standard OpenELEC, would love to have the PHT running on it. 
 
Mark Walker, do you have any idea to get it up and running?

Only go to the OpenELEC build thread in the Plex Home Theater forums and follow the guide on a 32bit VM and try to build the Plex-ATV project.

Hey there - first of all: Thanks for the good work on building PHT on openelec :)

I had an old AMD E350 Mainboard and some Memory somewhere hidden away for some time - pulled it out today to give it a try with OpenElec-PHT (Fusion Build).

Works quite good - navigating is really smooth.

Whats more of an issue: Playback of 720p material is fine. Audio via HDMI over the receiver works great too.

Only thing: 1080p-Playback is not fluid.

I know that AMD drivers are not the easiest thing with linux but I remember that 1080p playback with the E350 was good with an older Openelec-XBMC-Version.

So - any hints ?

Any plans to bump the underlying OE version to something more new? (Say 5.x?)

[sjorge]

Is there actually any work still done on this? It seems rather quiet on this front.

I just picked up a NUC5i5RYH for the sole purpose of running PHT connected to a tv set. Right now I’m having difficulty getting OpenELEC + PHT to boot from the internal M.2 SATA SSD. The BIOS is set to Legacy Boot (UEFI boot is unchecked) and the M.2 SATA is listed as the first boot option. The problem is when the NUC is powered on, it doesn’t detect the SSD; instead it tries to PXE boot. This of course fails, spitting out an error message: “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key”. It simply will not boot to the SSD from startup.

However, when turning on the NUC and entering the Boot Menu (F10), the M.2 SATA SSD is listed as one of the boot devices. If I select it from here, it boots from the SSD and goes straight into PHT. Similarly, if I open the BIOS menu at startup (F2) and navigate to the Boot tab, double clicking on the M.2 SATA SSD immediately boots into the SSD and loads PHT. Does anyone know what may be causing this issue?

Full system info:

• NUC5i5RYH
• BIOS version 0350 (dated 8/12/2015)
• 16GB RAM
• 250GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD
• OpenELEC-Plex-Intel-3.2.4-237-Plex-Home-Theater-1.4.1-47a90f0.x86_64
