Hi there Plex community,
I adopted Plex some time ago and have really enjoyed it. Im making some changes to my living room setup and have been researching RasPLEX. Im a DIY-er and thought this would fit my needs best.
Currently Ive got an Apple TV 2 (has run PlexConnect before) connected to my TV setup. I use the Plex app on my iPhone to AirPlay movies to the Apple Tv -- Not ideal. My Plex Server is a Mac mini thats always on. The server and home theater devices are connected with gigabit ethernet
I want to access my plex content with the Harmony 650 (IR) remote I use for everything else. I almost never use Netflix or other renting services... so plug and play plex ready options like Amazon TV and Roku are likely overkill.
That brought me to the Raspberry Pi 2.
Heres my list:
--Rasberry Pi 2 Starter Kit - includes a case, 2 amp power supply, wifi dongle and 8GB SD card. http://www.amazon.com/Guide--Clear-Case--Power-Supply--WiFi-Dongle--Kingston-Adapter--HDMI/dp/B00MV6TAJI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427233049&sr=8-2&keywords=raspberry+pi+2
--Rasplex 0.5.1
--FLIRC dongle - program to work with the Harmony remote. (Ive heard there are some power USB power issues here)
Id really like to keep using the harmony remote. Anyone see any issues here? Hoping this setup is snappy and reliable.
Thanks for your time and advice
Bill W.
