We are looking into that, you can download the latest release here https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/releases scroll down to find the 0.5.1 release and flash to a class 10 SD card.
I'm pathologically lazy :P i'll just wait for the automatic updater to work, thanks for the hint anyway

Awesome. Any way to get the update blob for manual updates in the mean time? Starting from scratch sounds painful.
Also, sorry for being annoying yesterday.
Decided to try 0.5.1 on my Raspberry Pi model B 512MB yesterday out of curiosity, it's on it's own power supply, hardwired to the network.
I never experienced the rainbow symbol, so the power supply is fine.
Feedback: Setup went somewhat smoothly, apart from a few black screens where I thought the setup had frozen/failed (Longer than 20 seconds). Navigation in menus was quite snappy, however there were a few negatives:
1. Bringing up the navigation bar whilst pausing a video was extremely laggy, took ~8-10 seconds to show after pausing.
2. Button presses seemed to lag i.e. Press left, right, up, down navigation keys on remote and nothing happened for 5-10 seconds, then RasPlex seemed to catch up and do it all at once.
3. After pausing a video and then pressing play, it took between 3-6 seconds for the video to resume.
4. Once resumed, the video did not continue to play from where it was paused. Instead, it appeared to have just frozen the picture when paused, but continued to play in the background i.e. Pause at 1m 12s, unpause 30 seconds later, video continues from 1m 42s.
Reverted back to 0.4.1 for the time being and all is well again.
Really looking forward to the bugs being ironed out in the latest revision, as I have 4 Raspberry Pi 2's sitting here waiting to take the place of my old models. Keep up the great work guys! :D
Pi2 0.5.1. Is awesome. Minimal lag.
Do the change!
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.
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.

Thanks for the info! I got it up and running in no time;) Running stock (no over-clocking) and installed VC-1 and MPEG2 codecs. My BluRay 1:1 MKV's seem to be running smooth. Everything else runs as it did on the old Pi. At this point I don't really see a huge improvement over the old over-clocked Pi.
Maybe when Rasplex merges with new OpenELEC 5.x. code I'll see some more improvements.
Either way it's a solid built and I am glad I was able to upgrade the hardware without any setbacks!
Pi2 - Not working for me
Installed the Pi2 version (confirmed) using OSX installer. Samsung 32Pro. Boots initially, runs resize2fs, then counts down to reboot. After that just a black screen. Green LED has activity initially, then starts to blink once every second until it eventually stops blinking.
Tried raspbmc and openelec 5.0.3 which are working great.
Ideas?
PI2 performance on 0.5.1 is just great.
But if i try to resume a transcoded file, it always starts from the beginning :-/ any fixes for this yet ?
Is there something big changed in this release, normally i use this script to install hyperion https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/wiki/Installation-on-RPi-with-OpenELECon my Raspberry, the installation succeeds but i can't connect to my lightberry with hyperion it won't do anything but with the 0.4 version it works like a charm.
New rasplex user here with RP2. MKV plays back flawlessly, however I noticed ATSC .mpeg recordings from over the air using HD-HomeRun transcodes by default.
Can rasplex direct play regular mpeg2 videos?
Thanks!
All works great except on startup on both of my Pi2s it has the following:
/sbin/init: /etc/init.d/11_udevd: line 27: can't create /proc/sys/kernal/hotplug: nonexistent directory
However it seems to start up and play everything fine except some judders on HD TV / Films
Is this important? Any way to fix the judders?
Have you turned off FFMPEG AVIO?
Regards
Same issue with the line 27 error, on the Pi 2 running 0.5.1, it shows up after a freeze or crash ect and while it still works afterwords all of the on deck and recently added content that pops up from your libraries stops showing up unless you re flash the image other than that and the error it throws on start up I don't see anything else affected.
Only if you buy and apply the appropriate licence from raspberrypi.org, costs a couple of dollars/pounds. Information is in their Shop section.

For things that already worked well on the over-clocked RPi1, you might not notice much difference with the RPi2. After all, when a delay interval is already down to a tiny fraction of a second you can't really notice if it's halved or quartered yet again. But some other things can now be done well with the RPi2 which did not work so well with an RPi1.Thanks for the info!

That work is underway, and it's expected that the next public release will be OE5-based.Maybe when Rasplex merges with new OpenELEC 5.x. code I'll see some more improvements.
Most of the results you describe above seem abnormal and do not match my results in testing the same version on my RPi1.Decided to try 0.5.1 on my Raspberry Pi model B 512MB yesterday out of curiosity, it's on it's own power supply, hardwired to the network.

That was a good one, to be sure, but there are better versions coming... ;)Reverted back to 0.4.1 for the time being and all is well again.
Why wait ? Why condemn the current RPi2 version based only on RPi1 tests ? That makes no sense to me ?Really looking forward to the bugs being ironed out in the latest revision, as I have 4 Raspberry Pi 2's sitting here waiting to take the place of my old models. Keep up the great work guys! :D
Figured it out - apparently the pi2 doesn't like my HDMI/DVI converter for the older monitor I was testing with. Hooked it up to the receiver and all is well. Didn't care much for the pi1, was too slow for me, but Rasplex+Pi2+ios is perfect!

Bought the mpeg2 license, video is fine, but audio breaks up every second! (I see the DD icon keeps flashing on my receiver)..
RasPlex:~ # vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2
MPG2=enabled
What might be the problem? I tried multiple files (these are over the air recordings from a HD-homerun network tuner). This has never happened on my other devices so I suspect something on the pi is causing this. SD card not fast enough? the pi2 should definitely be fast enough to playback mpeg2 1080i videos...
FYI my pi is connected to my network via ethernet cable (not wifi).
This release is great on pi2, thanks for it.
Except this noisy rainbow icon all is perfect.
How to disable it ?
THanks
Ok done by adding avoid_warnings=1 to config file

That rainbow icon is showing because your Pi2 isn't getting enough power, you should use a 2A power supply, and check the length and quality of your USB cable.
Adding that line to your config may get rid of the icon, but your Pi2 will probably be randomly unstable.
Hi!
I found an issue with multipart movies. The resume option dont work properly because the movie starts always from the beginning. The issue exists in 0.5.1 and 0.4.1.
Hi!

I am convinced that i experience this myself as well. Even though I up until now have thought it was due to stopping on Samsung TV-Plex (where resume on these movies works) and then resuming on RasPlex. Have it on both RPi and RPi2 and on 0.5.0 and 0.5.1...Very anoying when the kids move about the house watching their stuff.
Will try to validate that it is multipart later on but looks like we have the same issue....
