RasPlex 0.5.1 released - issues and feedback

I still get stuttering on some of my 1:1 blu-ray rips. The Pi2 is overclocked to 1000/500/500/2 and I added the gpu_mem_1024=384 line.

Anyone else get the same?

For me it only works with FFMPG AVIO turned on. I think it is now turned off by default so make sure to turn it back on  B)

Yes, using FFMPEG AVIO will work for high bitrate content that doesn't need transcoding, if you need transcoding you need to switch it off until the Rasplex team can figure out why it stopped working for transcoding.

I installed MPEG2 and VC1 codecs and rebooted and things seem ok now. It could have been a transcoding issue.

I can't find it now but earlier in the week I followed dlanor's instructions to download a typical rasplex TAR release, navigate to the TARGET folder and extract the SYSTEM file. Add the .img extension to it and you can now use this in Berryboot. Worked for me!

wow thanks..that was easy like hell :D

Rasplex runs much better on Raspberry Pi 2, but OpenELEC 5.0.3 a lot faster :-)

Are there any differences between Berryboot and direct install on SD Card?

65

Forgive the noob question, but isn't Rasplex on a Raspberry Pi a known quantity?  Same OS, same hardware.  Why are there any tweaks required to make it work?

I just ordered my Pi 2 and wanted to know if there was a set of tweaks or config changes required to make it fluid.  Thanks.

Dear all,

I run 0.4.1 (B model) for a couple of months now without any issues (well, except for the not working AirPlay, which would be a very nice feature to have ;)).

Yesterday I made a clean install of 0.5.1 and since then I can't resume any video from where I stopped it--the half-filled circle doesn't show up anymore. Related to that, every time I finish an episode of a TV show, the On Deck screen leaves it marked "unwatched" rather than "watched". I have to set it to "watched" manually.

It's really annoying (especially the resuming issue) especially since nobody else seems to have this problem?

Cheers,

SnakeP 

Had the same problem - did a reinstall of the SD card and the 2'nd time around it worked !

Hi,

I've installed the new version, and I wanted to try using my USB DAC, but didn't work. Is there any way to use it, or the new improvement is only the Hifiberry, an IQaudio DAC?

Thanks

I'm having an issue with the AC3 stuttering on a few high bitrate files. The video is playing smoothly but on my Denon receiver i can see the Dolby icon flicker on and off, as if the audio track data is cutting in and out. The same file plays correctly on PHT on my macbook hooked up to my receiver over HDMI. It also plays fine on Plex for Roku and Plex for Xbox One. I only see this problem on Rasplex. In the PHT log on Rasplex i see a bunch of these messages which repeat while this problem is happening

Did that now too, but didn't help. :(

is this based on openelec 5?

Nope I think it's still based on openelec 3. I stand to be corrected but I believe the rasplex team recently brought on the guy who built a version of openelec 5 with pht. Performance was reportedly improved with openelec 5 so this bodes well for the next major release of rasplex.

Okay, back on 0.4.1, problem gone. Could it be that 0.5.1 requires a specific version of the PMS?

You still need to check that your config.txt has the dtoverlay=lirc-rpi is there, if not IR will not work. I have checked remote control on the iOS app and it still works OK (howver limited it is).

I can confirm that this is a problem when updating from 0.4 to 0.5.1. The update didn't replace the config.txt (my old overclocking settings are still there) so it doesn't add the dtoverlay=lirc-rpi line, which seems to be a new requirement for lirc.

The fix is to edit the config.txt manually:

mount /flash -o remount,rw
nano /flash/config.txt

Add dtoverlay=lirc-rpi at the end of the file, save, and reboot.

Still waiting on my RPi2, but can I just use the same 0.5.1 install when I get it?  Or will it require running the installer again?

Builds are different for RPi1 and RPi2, you'll need to use the latest GetRasplex (old Rasplex doesn't work for RPi2) to make sure you get the correct build

Reinstall is required !

May I suggest some form of version indicator for the GetRasplex program?

The download info inside appearing in it when you try to download rasplex 0.5.1 seems to indicate a new installer being available. I promptly got hold of the latest one, but it was the same one I already had.

Ah, no I wasn't. I was using the one from the GetRasplex page on GitHub. It gave me a error msg though "The "/installers/windows/..ndows/GetRasplex.exe" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file." But that page also had a link to what seemed to be the last one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rasplex/files/latest/download?source=files. Turns out it wasn't the latest after all. I guess the reason is that the new one is hosted on GitHub, but the link on the GetRasplex page is pointing to the old one stored on sourceforge.
