Any sign of this getting a release? Would make a great Xmas present!
Sorry @“Jammy B” no embedded builds under the tree this year. Out of curiosity are you a NUC or a Pi user?

Both. Pi2 and a N2820 NUC. Both have their strengths. Maybe a Pi3 would provide matching performance of the NUC.
Pi2 is velcroed to the back of the playroom TV. Uses CEC and the factory remote.
The NUC is on the rack and serves two TVs through a matrix with harmony remotes.
Also got an ATV4 in the lounge and use that as my main.
Will stick with Apple TV and get another one to retire the pi2.
All Ethernet connected and no problems with playback. Just like the ATV UI.
Thanks for the answer Matt and Merry Christmas!

Not sure if you want to test at all but there is a nightly build available that you can install.
https://nightlies.plex.tv/public-test/plexmediaplayer/embedded-testing/
I have it running on a Mac mini and an intel setup similar to a NUC and working fine with a few bugs. One being no scrolling on music albums.
Other than that its been working really well using the nightlies.
Please understand any testing builds on nightlies are not supported and not necessarily in open testing. I think this build was triggered automatically by some upstream activity.
Although, there’s no harm if you choose to use it. You just need to understand that it’s unsupported pre-release software. It might bite. Or… it might purr.
We’ve been holding off releasing the embedded build because the navigation performance is slower than the 1.x builds. Some users on NUC may not feel the slowdown. I feel the slowdown on a Pi3. I imagine it’d be more exaggerated on a Pi2. The lack of scrolling on the music albums is another problem that only seems to happen on embedded. There’s something fishy in one of our dependencies.
Ho ho ho? 
Being one of the Ninjas that does heavily test PMP and assisting PMP users, I can tell you it works well enough with Broadwell CPUs and higher. As @mattseeley stated, the UI is much more demanding on the RPi SoC units. Please keep that in mind when you are testing it. This UI does quite a bit more than the PMPv1 UI.
Using PMP 2.2 on my NUC, works pretty well.

Nice. Good to hear. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the heads up/offer. I decided to install Ubuntu on the NUC yesterday and set it up for pi-hole/Homebridge/PlexPy/home assistant/unifi controller.
Ordered a couple Sonoff Itead smart switches and sockets to play with over crimbo.
If what @mattseeley says is true ref pi2 limitations. I’ll hold fire for a bit longer. The UI isn’t the fastest as it is now but useable. Any worse and it’s not worth it.
What about other higher power pi-shaped/flavoured boards? Is there anything out there with a bit more horsepower that can be stuck behind the TV that is compatible with embedded 2.2?

same here. None of the lagging that was in 2.1, and the new UI tweaks are much appreciated. Having tried almost every plex client under the sun I think this 2.2 nightly release is the best yet.
When going into different sub menu, the interface goes haywire still. Been a problem with all embedded previews. I have rolled back.
Was still somewhat laggy, compared to 1.x.
I am looking forward to a real release for embedded 
hey … I did a fresh fill update from 1.x embedded on a pi…
running latest 2.17x I think
the load is working and it boots up but obviously trashed my wifi setup / conman etc.
i can get to the settings menu and enabled SSH but I can’t SSH into the pi … nothing is working…
I am pining the pi, and it responds to my SSH request… i.e… I think the pi SSH is enabled… but
root/plex root/libreelec pi/raspberry etc passwords nothing is accepted…
how does one SSH into the pi these days and setup conman?
also… after years of working on this… why can’t you guys do it like rasplex/openpht and have a gui for system setup? I mean come on already!!!
thanks
I know this is an old thread. Just wanted to say I have installed a nightly, from 30th October 2018 on my Celeron NUC.
Seems to run very well.
