[Popular] Raspberry Pi Client

I tried it and it did not even see my PMS. All the reports I have read say it's pretty slow. I shall try the latest build.

It works, most of the time. I've had it reset on me a couple of times and it doesn't like the queue feature. It crashes on that alot saying could not play queue. Apart from that it's solid once you find the work around for these bugs. Like not switching movies too fast or actually loading a playlist of music, haven't tried more than 1 movie so wouldn't no. The Up Next certainly doesn't work, and it sometimes looses it's settings. That's the latest build, been waiting on an update for a while but things look a little stale in the forum and on the site. 

That's with basically using it to receive android casts, I don't use the interface at all as it's painfully slow, precaching sorted some of it out but it still takes ages, especially when sorting. I think the Pi version would be better if they just used it as a caster... as it works perfectly fine that way. I haven't tried many other skins, as mine wont keep settings long enough to change them, but some of them did give some slight increase in loading times from my tests. 

I have two rasplex on my network One is hooked to a Samsung tv. Who’s smart hdmi connects to the perfectly. Letting me use the factory remote to work.

The secound is connected to my bedroom tv and it is a cheap 32 Visio and use mobile app on a tablet or my phone as a remote. Plex pass member.

Suggest you upgrade to 0.5.0, https://forums.plex.tv/topic/138768-rasplex-050-issues-and-feedback/?p=819924

I did yesterday Ned! It's working a lot better must say. Pretty much most of what I moaned about above has been updated. It's not crashed on me yet, but I've yet to play music through it, but so far so good. Was a nice surprise to see the update there, literally just after I'd posted above. 

Grand stuff, recommend everyone to get it updated.

As a bonus, if you install the Plex Black Edition Skin by @DeadEyeFlint, you can also play video files not in your PMS library either from the SD Card or an attached USB hard drive, even when you have no network connection.

Great if you want to use it in the car or on holiday.

I'll give that a check out. I had installed that skin before so may give it a go again as that's quite awesome! Cheers for the pointer. 

With the release of the new Pi2 which has a much beefier CPU and 1GB ram maybe the Pi can now be a better plex client :-)
