Since Windows IoT can run universal apps now, is there a way to get the Plex app running on a Raspberry Pi 2 for example?
Might be interesting to get the app running in autostart for a home theater setup.
Next best thing would probably be the PHT running on linux but I do prefer the app interface.
No idea. I’m not super-familiar with IoT.
If the device can run Windows apps, it can run Plex. We’re still a Windows 8.1 app in case that that matters.
I would love for this to happen. I have had a lot of problems with RasPlex and am curious if Plex on Win10 IoT would be better.
Would it be possible to get access to the current Windows 8.1 Plex client appx file?

Not in general, no.
What would you do with it?

From what I have seen you can deploy your apps on IoT devices just like on Windows Phone.
Normally you would need the source code to deploy but it might work with the Application Deployment Tool which can deploy the compiled packages directly.
I don’t have a Raspberry Pi 2 yet to test it out though.
Hello,
I have one RaspberryPi 2 with Windows iot already installed and i want to try install plex on it.
But, as said mochuchuwa, we need the Plex client appx to do this.
Sorry for my bad english, I’m french.
Can you link me to some guidance on how you’d install a precompiled appx on one of those devices?
Once Windows iot deployed on the Raspberry Pi, we have access to a web interface that allows applications deployed in Appx format.

Interesting. But kind of weird there’s no store. So what do you do with other apps?
I use my RaspberryPi only as Plex client.

Usually you compile the apps yourself and remote deploy them from Visual Studio just like you do for Windows Phone.
I guess Microsoft didn’t really think the Windows store through. There is an option to download the raw appx from the Windows Phone store but that option seems to be missing in the Windows store so you can only grab the appx by sniffing the network traffic while installing an app.

Can you install multiple apps and switch between them?
edit: Also, that web interface looks really interesting so I might need to get a Raspberry Pi 2 too.
It is possible to install several apps, but only one can run at a time.
Window iot is single-task.
Do Win32 apps work, or just modern/appx? How does touch work in this world?

According to the FAQ UI is only supported via UAP UI stacks (XAML, HTML, DirectX).
Console applications and general Win32 applications can only work headless.
Touch & mouse control probably works just like on Windows 10. It is Windows 10 after all.
naguy - did you mean that you actually are running the Win 8.1 / AppStore Plex app on Windows 10 IoT on RaspberryPi? Did you snag the appx file from another system? Any chance on a micro tutorial? How is the performance?
larray - I’m not running the Win 8.1 / AppStore Plex app on Windows 10 IoT .
I tried with a beta version that I had kept on a HDD, but I get an error certificates for installation …
As soon as I managed to run Plex on Windows IoT on my Raspberry Pi, I would do a tutorial.
also very interested here guys. would like to experiment with my pi and win 10 iot.
If you have Windows 10 IoT working and you just need an appxupload, PM me.
I am willing to buy the Win10IOT kit if someone can confirm there is a functioning client. This would be a good interim solution until I can figure out how to get a DNLA C&C to work with Plex.
What is the current status of this? Has anyone got it working on a RPi 2? If no one tried, I’m happy to.
