Transcoding in better quality than 480p whith plxXBMC.
I am using Raspberry pi Model b with 32GB class 10 SD card.  
Installed Raspbmc on the SD card and then the plex plugin plugin.video.plexbmc-v2.1.1  
And on the side I have Plex Media Server VERSION 0.9.7.7  
  
Everything is working smoothly when transcoding in quality 480p and I can play all files and the GUI is looking good.  
But I get error after I change the transcoding quality to 2Mbps, 720p.  
So streaming is working fine up to 2mbit 720p.  
  
The error I get is:  
"  
 PLayback failed  
 ---------------  
one or more items failed to play  
Check the log file for details.  
"  
  
Any ideas ?  
  
Ps.I would put the log file here but I cant find it. :)

I’m having the same issue. Apart from a smaller storage cap of my SD card my details are exactly the same.

Issue has been identified (a change in xbmc frodo which was mangling the request). Will be fixed in a release shortly.
