I just installed the Rasplex and it is great for the beginning. I really like the built in Airplay feature.
Do you know if it will possible to control the Rasplex via upnp and other plexclient like the mac client?
I really like to control the clients with the plex app or plex touch for iPhone to send the movies to my tv. It is better than using an other ir remote.
I found huge performance increases when i have OpenElec use a usb drive with an ext4 partition as its disk. (modify cmdline.txt, specifically change disk=**** to disk=/dev/sda1). Besides the read/write performance increase from an SD Card to a USB disk (even using a class 10 SD Card), you can more reliably overclock the RPi because the main constraint on the overclocking in the first place seems to be SD write corruption.
I assume this will be possible in Rasplex considering it's built on OpenElec?

Have you tried this at all in your development?
Keep up the good work!
That's really interesting. And considering I have many 2.5" hard disks laying around in small enclosures, I might try this this weekend.

Alot of those on that forum were discussing exactly that. It would be nice to forget the SD card altogether but you need it to boot. I bought a 16gb class 10 SD card before I discovered this, I wish I would have got a cheaper 4gb Class 10. Oh well, it's only like 5$ difference. Gotta love the age we live in.
I'm thinking of using my PI as a IR-blaster (Using a ir-receiver and sending the signal to my devices hidden away).
But also using the IR-capabilities (once they are done) to let the PI send commands to the TV/stereo and so on, accepting commands from a simple web-page. Perhaps a menu in RasPlex to do this would be cool.
Also, I've seen projects getting the PI to act as a tellstick (or other remote socket receivers) router. It would be cool to get the RasPlex to do the same, so one can set up actions when a movie starts and so on.
File system protection against power outages, brown outs and improper shutdowns. Apparently the Pi has major issues with SD corruption due to the aforementioned.
On my raspbmc setup I have it boot from NFS. It runs quick, removes chance of SD corruption and makes it easy to backup pi. How about a trello card for this?

Sure this would work great but I'm not sure if this solution is wife / parent friendly.
Thanks I didn't even think to look at the config.txt file. It be nice to have an option to turn off overscan in the rasplex settings.
I am defiantly going to try the config.txt setting. Mostly because it takes me forever to go into the Video Calibration of the Video Output settings page and adjust each side just right.
One feature I would like is the ability to turn on transcoding for individual or groups of media, I record TV straight onto my NAS for PMS to pick up and streaming these files direct end up with the audio being out of sync with the video where as when it is being transcoded it plays perfectly. All other direct streaming is fine it's just these .ts files.
