So what's the right structure? Works fine for me...
How are you guys liking this integration? I really want to move back to openelec from my windows 7/PMC setup. I really like PMC, but i need the speed of openelec and it provides me with better GPU utilization. Plus all the nice extras that xbmc does that PMC removed. I do though love the navigation of PMC, so hoping to have a nice compromise. Thoughts? Do I need to use a special theme? If i am running eden with xbmc, what is the recommended theme and plexbmc version i should use?
Thanks!
i got the same error. maybe our xbmc is too update to date.
That could be the problem...
I'm using [Pulse-Eight's CEC-compatible version](http://packages.pulse-eight.net) which is based on Eden 11.0
its not working for me, iam using the Windows version btw.
Hey I don’t want to sound like an ■■■■, but shouldn’t we create a new thread for all you guys having issues with the raspberry pi?
I think most of the issues are not related to plexbmc, and I feel like the thread has been “hijacked”.
Again, this is just my 2c, and don’t want to sound harsh.

I am having issues playing high bit rate files with this plugin as well. I have an openelec install on an appletv1, broadcom card, usb gigabyte ehernet. 1080p will not play, freezes with the plugin, sometimes i get a cache full popup but most of the time it just freezes, never gets to the movie screen. TV shows, sound starts before picture, sometimes picture doesn’t even start. If I use XBMC to stream directly using a smb share, it plays just fine, i’m bypassing Plex and plexBMC all together. Any clues on what needs fixed?
dadrepus;
Monitor the CPU usage on the server wen trying to play the 1080p file; plex may be transcoding when it doesn’t need to, which would explain the stuttering, an is a problem that can be direcctly addressed by the author (or the Plex devs)
I am trying to mod my XBMC skin to allow a little bit of integration with plexbmc
I want to try and link directly to the movies option in the plexbmc plugin (more specifically, all movies and recently added movies)
I can access the plugin using:
ActivateWindow(Videos,plugin://plugin.video.plexbmc,return))
can I add anything after “plugin://plugin.video.plexbmc” to go directly to all movies and skip manually selecting “plexbmc > movies > all movies”?
I’ve been testing the PlexBMC add-on in ‘XBMC for Android’ on my Pivos ‘Xios DS Media Play’, as an alternative to the real ‘Plex for Android’ app (which I’ve also bought) and it does work fine. But I assume it would work even better if I could use the skins that were designed/modified specifically for the needs of a Plex client.
But unfortunately all those skins (that I’ve found anyway) always show up as ‘Broken’ in the XMBC dialogs for installing new skins. I take this to mean that those skins are compatible only with older versions of XBMC. And in my case downgrading XBMC is simply not possible, since those older versions of XBMC were never ported to the Android platform.
So I’m wondering if anyone has reworked any of those PlexBMC skins for newer XBMC releases, or even made new PlexBMC-adapted skin modifications for current XBMC versions.

Hello
I have openelec installed on my raspberry pi with xbmc 12.0 alpha7. I’m trying to get PlexBMC to work on this version.
When I install version 1.9.9.4, I keep getting the message “unable to lookup host x.x.x.x”. I have PMS running for a while now and it’s working very nicely on my iOS devices so that is not the problem. The network connection on my raspberry is fine too…
A push in the right direction would be great
PS: connecting with the bonjour service does not give me this error, but just an empty list…
Thanks!
I am receiving meta-data for video and music channels, but when i try to play a video nothing happens. Why is this happening?
What happened? Are there gonna be any updates or is it dead, again?
I'm also wondering if this client is dead in the water. It's really too bad the Plex devs have not released a solid client for Windows. The current version is stale and laden with bugs. Doesn't bitstream HD audio under Windows and playback stutters consistently, where as XBMC plays the same videos perfectly.
I hope this project is not dead, because XBMC Frodo Beta 1 apparently just broke the plug-in functionality.
Neither Movies, nor TV Shows work anymore on the default Confluence skin. Under the Quartz 3.3.9 skin, Movies kind of work (only if it is the first option chosen), but TV Shows don’t. I also tried several other skins, but the only one that partially worked was Quartz. Tests were run on both a Mac (10.8.2) and a Raspberry Pi (Raspbcm) with the same results. The problem happened on both 1.9.9.4 and 2.0 Beta4 versions of PleXBMC. I was not able to try the PleXBMC optimized skins, as they never worked on Frodo Alphas in the first place.
Let’s hope Hippojay finds some time to verify and fix the problem, otherwise it seems users relying on this plug-in will be stuck with Eden.
UPDATE Oct 21, 2012: Never expected PleXBMC optimized skins to work on Frodo Betas, because they all failed on Alphas, complaining of missing dependencies.
I don’t know why, but today I decided to try installing ‘quartz.plexbmc-fd018ca’ (0.4-1.0.3) once again. I’m really surprised (and happy) to say that the skin installed successfully. Mimicking what happened with above mentioned Quartz 3.3.9 skin, with ‘quartz.plexbmc-fd018ca’ (0.4-1.0.3), Movies sometimes work, but TV Shows don’t.
As stated in the thread. XBMC Frodo Beta 1 brakes PleXBMC .
Here is a log of what is going on -->Pastebinlog
Are there any solutions for ATV2 Frodo Beta 1
I can not seem to get Plex XBMC to work
Thanks all
After line 3016 in plugin.video.plexbmc/default.py add these 2 lines:
<br />
if param_url and param_url.startswith('http'):<br />
param_url = urllib.unquote(param_url)<br />
This should fix it for frodo beta 1.
Cheers,
Joris
