RasPlex 0.5.1 released - issues and feedback

Installed 5.1 on a new SD, swapped out my 5.0 on a Pi B and replace with 5.1 on the Pi 2 and so far its awesome.

Menus and loading the movies it snappier.

I'm using the Night skin (with RasPlex mode) as that is what I use on the main system Mac Mini. Great stuff, and very nice install

Keep up the awesome work

I installed the new version on the new Raspberry 2. Nearly everything is perfect, but I can not get the Hifiberry Dacplus to work . 

I tried using the config.txt command (dtoverlay=hifiberry-dacplus)

I tried to blacklist the lirc-rpi by creating a disable-lirc.conf in a newly created .modprobe.d folder in /storage/.config/ 

dmesg gives me

Any suggestions?

Hoping my hifiberry is here in a day or two, when I get it working I'll post how to. Can anybody with hifiberry please use this topic https://forums.plex.tv/topic/143241-rasplex-and-hifiberry-second-round/?p=837682 so we can keep everything together in one topic.

Thanks

Hey,

nice release. The only issue i have is that the watch status bubble (unwatched/partly watched/watched) does not work automatically. After every TV show i have to mark the video manually. 

Other clients (like my Samsung SmartTV) are able to change the status bubble. 

#RPi 2 with Raspley 0.5.1

So, i found a solution: I disabled old trakt (API v1) and now the watched flag is set automatically

So I am awaiting delivery of my Pi2!  In the mean time I installed RasPlex on a new MicroSD. Wandering if we still need to overlock in order to playback 1:1 BluRay rips?

Also does the RP2 need same amount of power? I have my current Pi B plugged in to my TV's USB port.

Thanks and any other input will be apreciated.

Mines happier with 1000mA. My telly has multiple USB ports at different mA ratings [for WiFi dongle, HDD, memory stick]


Plays content no problem. You can overclock it. I’m going to, to help the black remix skin work a bit more fluidly.

I didn't overclock and mine has no problem playing bluray rip in mkv format with all video, audio and subtitle tracks (~30GB files). I did have issues with my wifi being able to keep up with that bitrate and ethernet is not an option so i bought an Asus N66W and put it in media bridge mode and connected that to the ethernet port of the RPi2 and it works like a charm.

Interesting. I already edited the config file to overclock, now I am not sure what to do  :wacko:

On another note I almost forgot I also have to but new MPEG2 and VC-1 Licenses ! How do I get the Pi2 serial number again!? I Have to SSH in to the Pi!?

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Will older Rasplex 4.1 versions receive an OTA with 5.1 automagically?

This help´s: you have to disable FFMPEG AVIO in the Preferences

But, the Message "Video bitDepth is too hight: 10 (max: 8)" are still there

Interesting. I already edited the config file to overclock, now I am not sure what to do  :wacko:

Overclocking is recommended for the RPi1, but not for the RPi2 as no safe standards for it are yet established.
The overclock methods and values used for the RPi1 are almost certainly NOT applicable as-is for the RPi2.

On another note I almost forgot I also have to but new MPEG2 and VC-1 Licenses ! How do I get the Pi2 serial number again!? I Have to SSH in to the Pi!?

Yes, that is the standard method. And then use the command rcork posted in his reply: "cat /proc/cpuinfo"

This will produce quite a long text for the RPi2, since it includes info on all four CPU cores.
But just as with the RPi1, the serial number appears at the bottom of this text, after the info for the CPU cores.

It'd be nice to be able to update old Rasplex units.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/rasplex/files/autoupdate/rasplex/has not seen an archive update since 0.4.0.  The auto-updater feature is useless as a result.

Manual updates can't be done without the archive, either.

Just set the update channel to Pre-Release and then select check for update.

Yes, but was 0.5.0 only considered pre-release since it doesn't show up either?  I thought it was mainstream by the wording.  

I'll go pre-release if I must although I prefer stable for the living room experience.

Suit yourself. 0.5.0 superceeded by 0.5.1. Unlikely to be a 'stable' release for quite some time.

Went ahead and decided to take the plunge.  Update channel is set to "prerelease."  I get a message that I have the latest version (which is 0.4.1 installed).  I rebooted.  Same thing.

Didn't work for me either
