On the Download RasPlex page it has the following for Windows:
Windows / fallback
Currently, we don’t have an automated installer for Windows, so you must get the build and install it yourself. To do this, use win32 disk imager with the latest build.
Those are extremely basic and parsimonious and leave me totally confused, and I am guessing that I am not the only one.
I have run Plex for Windows for quite a while, I have been playing around with RPis for several months and I am a little bit familiar with Linux/Unix so I am not a total newbie. But I have no idea what you are telling people to do.
Am I supposed to download one of the files like rasplex-0.1.27.img.gz from Sourceforge, and unzip the file. How do I "install it yourself"? Do I need to have a functioning OS on my RPi already? If not what do I install? I see some mention of OpenELEC.
Will your Linux install instructions work for Raspbian running on the RPi?

1- download image and extract.
2- download disk imager and run/open.
3- select image within imager and write to sd card reader/writer device.
4- pop card into rpi and plug power in...
Until the installer is made, this is the method i use. it works very well on windows.
Here are some links to go with notye's instructions:
1- download image and extract.
2- download disk imager and run/open.
3- select image within imager and write to sd card reader/writer device.
4- pop card into rpi and plug power in...
Thank you for this. I was a bit baffled by the installer page as well - but this to me sounded like writing any other raspberry pi image to an SD card. I followed the normal raspi image installation instructions from here: http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup, (in my case, command line linux) and everything went smoothly.
Thanks again!

PS - 7zip on linux did the trick for extracting the image file - I'm sure it would work on Windows as well.
