Just got the update for Plex Black skin on my C2. Took me a minute to find the update (navigate to where you switch skins, select Plex Black Update.) Looks beautiful again; make sure you hit the author with a donation.

So the stuttering i’ve been experiencing on the C2 is a known issue and won’t be fixed until OpenPHT V2?Is it stuttering only on VC-1 files, or others too?
Everything i play stutters.
Can anyone advise if the Odroid C2 will fit in the raspberry pi case. In particular either of these two;

It may probably fit in there, but the screwholes are in a different position and the SD card slot is also differently located. You should use a case which was manufactured for the Odroid.
@Seanhonour I personally used this one
A C2 will fit inside an rPi 2/3 case, but needs modification depending on how you plan to use your C2. Here are some notes from the American Droid website about using the C2 with an rPi case:
http://ameridroid.com/products/raspi2b-case-black-abs-rounded
NOT COMPATIBLE WHEN USING MICROSD CARD ON THE ODROID-C1+/C2.
On the ODROID-C1+/C2, the 2.5mm power connector is blocked, but the USB OTG port is available for power input.
On the ODROID-C1+/C2, the IR receiver may be blocked by this case although the back panel is perforated and may allow the IR signals to pass.
On the ODROID-C1+/C2, the case must be removed to change the eMMC module.
You’ll note that using a transparent case would allow for the IR receiver to work and if you wanted to use the oDroid wall wart power adapter, you’d want to drill a small hole to pass the cable through.

Thanks for the suggestion, i had seen this case but not very keen on it.

Thanks for the info. If i would be unable to use the MicroSD Card with a Pi case then guess i would have to use a eMMC module? I haven’t used one of these before, is it the same process as installing OpenPHT on a MicroSD? Also can you suggest a good eMMC module that is compatible with the Odroid C2?
I have done a quick bit of reading and it looks like eMMC has quicker read/write speeds, so would get better performance out of using this instead of MicroSD?
I’m just using the Odroid 8GB eMMC. It’s the same imaging process and yes, you would get a slight performance boost in loading cached media files. But it’s not a big difference. You can flash them with OpenPHT since the last version and run directly on them.
If you wanted to use an SDcard, I’m sure you could cut a little slot for it to fit inside. Doubt you’d have external access to it without some careful cutting, but you could make room for it to fit in most cases.
Hey guys, since some days i experience problems with my blu-ray-remuxes. Sometimes the fps of the video cracks downs to a slideshow for some seconds and then goes back to normal. This just occurs with remuxes, so i guess its connected to the high bitrate somehow. Any idea how i can fix that?
Hi!
Can anyone confirm if the “wifi module 5” from hardkernel works with 1.8.0 or not?
Hello
Love this build, fantastic work, thank you. Just as good as a NUC for a fraction of the price.
I have however an annoyinf issue…my settings are not being saved. When I setup all my preferences, PLEX account etc…it works fine. If I shutdown and reboot I’m back to default settings again…any ideas?
I am using an SD card. Thank you!
EDIT: looks like I need to resize the partition, no space left. Any ideas?
EDIT2: created new image on resized SD card partition, working now

Snappy, responsive OpenPHT device using Gigabit Ethernet.
Audio codec support:

My God, how could I miss that !!!
I want one right away !! Where can I buy it?
Again, thanks to the Team, it’s a great job.
Wow. Looks like they’re available now. ameridroid.com/products/odroid-c2. I got mine a few weeks ago and it is the best Plex client yet. Get it now. They go on back order all the time.

No doubt. I use mine as my main playback in a ~$10,000 home theater and this <$100 wonder is the star. I’d trade my speakers for different speakers, upgrade my amp, I actually need to hang a new screen…but there is nothing out there that does what Plex + OpenPHT + Odroid does better (Shield is larger and uses more power, HTPCs are unwieldy, and the standard Plex apps are miserable UX)
Is there a way to get OpenPHT for Odroid embedded to auto install updates without user intervention?

Not exactly auto install. You can set it to auto-update and it will auto download the update file for whatever channel is selected. You’d still need to restart it once it was downloaded I believe. This works for all embedded OpenPHT setups.
I wonder if somebody got the problem when “allow hardware acceleration” is enabled there is only a blackscreen during playback but sound plays nicely on all media, but this is only true for files without the hevc codec which play without any problem.
I’ve got mine !
No worries with the installation, it works really well. The interface is really more fluid than on my Pi. The audio passthrough works great.
On the other hand, I occasionally have audio or video cuts. I tried to change some settings but it does not seem to have any influence on the problem.
Has anyone else had this kind of concern?

Nope. No cutouts on mine. Are you sure it’s not the file(s)?, The network? Or the server?
I don’t think so. Nothing has change except the Odroid instead of the Pi.
Maybe it’s the HDMI cable. I don’t have a 2.0 cable.
