Hello!
I'd love to use rasplex since everything @home is relying on Plex. Sadly I need my Pi to run a lot of other tasks at home. These tasks just work with raspbian :( So just a little heads up please! Any ideas when the raspbian version could launch?
Thanks a lot for the great work!
I doubt that will ever be the case since they are using openelec as a base. You could do what I did however and run Raspbmc w/ the PlexBMC addon. I've actually found the menu perfomance to be much better this way (mostly due to raspbmc being on gotham instead of eden). This would suit you as Raspbmc is based on Raspbian.
Hope that helps. :)
To note, I have a few issues with the Add-on currently. Resuming after watching on another client can be hit or miss on whether it picks up that it's been watched or start at the beginning. And I haven't been able to get the add-on that lets you cast from mobile clients to work (gives a script error). Just things to consider if you do go that route.
That could actually work. Emulationstation would also run on raspbmc! Someone told me I just could install XBMC on raspbian. But I could get no information on performance. You don't happen to know about thar, do you?

More technically stated, RasPlex is a complete port of Plex Home Theater (formerly Plex Media Center) for Raspberry Pi. RasPlex currently runs on OpenELEC for reasons of limited man power, but there is a working raspbian port that just needs some time to be brought up to speed. RasPlex was created on Gentoo linux, but that port has since been abandoned for performance reasons. We regularly merge in changes from Plex Home Theater and OpenELEC. Once things cool off a bit and we are more stable (or we get the man power), we will maintain a raspbian release as well.
This is from the rasplex homepage. And this text is the reason why I'm asking. Anybody got news on that?
Hmm, guess I hadn't seen that before.
You could definitely install xbmc straight away on a base raspbian install. I haven't done it however and couldn't tell you the performance. I know Raspbmc has done some optimizing for xbmc and it performs very well on the pie.
I think thats the solution for now. Will rebuild after rasplex runs on raspbian. Thanks a lot for your input!
