I have an RPI sitting here doing energy monitoring for my house, so i tried running plexconnect (not plex media server) on the rpi but its too slow.
What is the view of the RPI2 with an ARM7 soc? Is it likely to handle running plexconnect (not plex media server), anyone getting ready to try this?
So many people have raspberry laying around doing small jobs, it would make sense to run plex connect type services off it, if its powerful enough.
Why not using the PI (2) with RaspPlex directly?

My first tought aswell.
Maybe he prefers the PlexConnect/aTV interface.

Correct. And my raspberry is really an energy monitor, its not located where my storage is located, my storage is connected to another device. But mostly i use the DNS feature so i can use USA netflix. I know i can do this in linux, but then i would need to change config on ATV for different apps.
it would be very easy if i could just use the energy monitor machine. Considering how sloooow plexconnect is on raspberry, how could PMS work on this machine, zero transcoding?
Will plexconnect run nicely on RPI2 (yes i know its a bit of guess until some one tests it)
Some people cannot afford to leave the PlexConnect machine awake 24x7. But it's possible to install dnsmasq in some routers, and I think that dnsmasq can also be installed in the RasPI. This way PlexConnect needs not be running 24x7 (only the dnsmasq service really needs 24x7 availability). I think that the RasPI can also send the magic packet to wake-on-lan the machine where PlexConnect (and probably also PMS) is installed.
Would that solve your problem ?
Technically you could also run the PlexConnect DNS on the Pi, and the rest of the stuff on you PMS machine...
Thanks how would i either run dnsmasq or plex connect (plexconnect probably keep it more consistent) to handle the DNS for ATV and reach the plex connect/pms machine only when trailers is requested?
