No, Rasplex 1.8 won’t run on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. It sits at the rainbow square.

Eventually. There is some OS R&D work going on to enable 1.8 to run on the new rPi3 B+ model.

Just got a Pi3B+ - can’t use it - lame.
Does it work with the “Plex Media Player for Embedded Devices” img?

No, does not boot with the embedded image yet either.

@wdelarme
I don’t have a tuner, so I have not yet tried Live TV. But if I get one, I will let you know.

RasPlex = Plex Media Player
PlexPi = Plex Media Server
I think.

as noted here [https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/issues/606](https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/issues/606)
you can use the following build [https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/releases/download/PRE-1.8.0b%2B/RasPlex-1.8.0.0-573b6d73-RPi2.arm.img.gz](https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/releases/download/PRE-1.8.0b%2B/RasPlex-1.8.0.0-573b6d73-RPi2.arm.img.gz)
as long as you turn off auto updates it should be stable enough until a proper build is done for the Raspberry Pi 3B+

Just make sure you have a proper powersupply.

The current build for the 3B+ works like a charm.
Not a single problem encountered so far, but I’ll keep testing. It’s also incredibly quick - from initial power up to streaming content is well under the 1 minute mark. Extremely impressed !

So how’s the 3B+ going?
Other than being a tiny bit faster then the RPI2,3 does it do anything better?
Thanks

i have both the Pi 3B and 3B+… i must say im not seeing any performance boost… and if its there, i havent noticed it… i will say if you have a Pi 3B then a upgrade is not worth it.

Yeah i’m waiting for Kwiboo to get the Rock64 up and running. The PI’s are so far behind in hardware tech. I do want h.265, HDR and 10bit.
