1.33 and 1.34 both lags when video first starts, the audio stream plays fine. If I pause and hit info I see the cache increasing. When it stops caching and I hit play the video speeds up to catch up to the audio for a second or two and then plays fine. The frame rate jumps as soon as the caching is done. This happens on every video I have tried so far. This caching only takes a few seconds to occur but it is enough to be noticeable as the video starts. Nice work on this, not complaining just giving feedback.
Hi guys,
1.33 tested: "original" wifi dongle from element 14 (http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-48541/l/wi-pi-wlan-usb-module-for-the-raspberry-pi) does not work - not shown as an alternative even after enabling wifi. There is no menu to setup the wireless connection. The Did not try via ssh since the system is not close to the router.
I don't have a powered USB hub to test if the system is able to see the dongle if I insert it after boot and hot plugging it make the system to reboot. Is there any way to make it work?
The dongle works fine with Rasbmc.
Thank you!

small bug ??
after i have downloaded the image and used the writing to Sd card option
it says please download and select an image to write .
shouldnt it say writing is done have fun whit your RaspberryPi ??
insted of asking me to do what i just did. :))
just a suggestion
regards
Chrimprider
I feel dumb asking but...
1) How do you shutdown/start the Raspberry Pi using SSH?
2) How do you shutdown/start Rasplex using SSH?
I've seen posts saying to run "shutdown -h now", but from what directory do you run this? Does this shutdown the Pi or Rasplex? Or both? I can't find a file called "shutdown" anywhere on my SD card. I can run "halt" from the /sbin folder but I'm not sure if this is shutting down the Pi or Rasplex?
Sorry, not a Linux/Unix user. Any help would be greatly appreciates.
Is there any way to make it work
I didn't manage to get 1.34 working with the 'new' wifi, but 1.32 worked with the 'old' wifi setup. I needed to manually enter the various details (WLAN, wlan0, SSID & WPA key) but it worked without anything more being required.

If you're logged in as root, try 'which shutdown' and that should indicate where it is. Most systems will have it in /sbin, I believe. (Mine's not to hand to check though). It would normally be in the path, so won't matter where you are when you run it & will shutdown the whole OS. Also, it may be aliased such that all you need is 'shutdown'...
I didn't manage to get 1.34 working with the 'new' wifi, but 1.32 worked with the 'old' wifi setup. I needed to manually enter the various details (WLAN, wlan0, SSID & WPA key) but it worked without anything more being required.
I am in the same boat. After manually entering all the relevant info, my wifi adapter worked fine in 1.32.
It will not work at all in 1.33 and 1.34 with the new settings dialog. No SSIDs show up, and there are no options for manual entry. Additionally, wifi defaults to "off" and wired to "on" upon reboot like my settings are not being saved.
A little more info on my setup. I'm using an older receiver (Denon avr-2807) which does not support DTS HD or DD True HD. Can this be the problem? On Argo, I'm seeing "DTS Digital" on my receiver. Can the buffering be caused by some kind of transcoding from DTS HD to DTS Digital? I don't see any CPU spike on my PMS when watching the movie which leads to believe there is no transcoding happening.
I have a limited supply of Blu-rays. The only movie I have that is MPEG-4 and DD 5.1 is Open Season 1 (According to BDInfo). I figured this movie had the best chance of playing without buffering. However, I can't even get this movie to play. Very strange? I also tried a few movies with MPEG-4 and DD True HD and those buffered worse than the movies with DTS HD.
Also, how do you tell what version of Rasplex is running on the Pi? I can't seem to find a setting in Rasplex that displays the version. When I boot up Rasplex, I see the version briefly displayed on the monitor, but that is it. Is there a way to get the version in the settings?
I think it is because the PI is decoding the DTS track in software so starts to choke on the video (if the PI foundation can sort out licensing for hardware decoding the issue should go away). I have no idea why your Open Season will not play, maybe see if you can borrow a disc or download a test track from the internet (there should be some released under the creative commons license around that you could use).
As far as i know you get the version number at boot but it is not available anywhere else at present.
I didn't manage to get 1.34 working with the 'new' wifi, but 1.32 worked with the 'old' wifi setup. I needed to manually enter the various details (WLAN, wlan0, SSID & WPA key) but it worked without anything more being required.
Thank you for the advice.
I tried 1.32 and it worked. Got the wifi working. But the Pi crashes after few minutes.
I tried 1.35 also but with no luck, same wifi issue.

1.35 is great, love the quick response in the menus and loading video. I still have the caching issue mentioned above. If I pause am
Nd wait until the caching is done (usually around 55 mb) then the frame rate jumps from around 11 to 35 fps, and the video plays fine after that with no stuttering. Could this be a wifi issue?
Well to be sure just try with a wired connection and see if the issue also happens there.
Hi,
it there any way to manually configure the wifi settings?
ssh on the pi and add the config by hand?
I don't mind hardcoding the wifi setup for the time being since I will use the Pi with the same settings.
I tried to see how the wifi is activated in 1.35 but with no luck.
I did not find the "usual tools": iwconfig, iwlist.
Thank you
Hi,
First I would like to thank everybody for Rasplex, it's great.
I've a small problem, since version 1.33 wireless doesn't work for me.
With 1.30 I can see the led on my USDB WLAN Stick blinking but on 1.35 (and .34) nothing, it look like the driver is not able to load the right firmweare (see message "[ 73.124219] r8712u: Firmware request failed").
Here's what I've with 1.30:

Any idea ? Maybe the firmware file is not the same on 1.35 ?
P.s.: sorry for the long post.

I have a problem with the latest .35
After a clean install on a formatted SD card everything boots fine, but if I shutdown it won't boot back up. If give the error:
*** Error in mount_storage: mount_common: Could not mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 ***
[19.529870] System Halted
I've managed to reproduce this 4 times with different SD cards. Whats the deal?
Just installed rasplex, had plain openelec for pi + plexbmc before. In general things works but I have a couple of issues:
- I only seem to be able to control pi through a usb keyboard now. Before I could get along with either only a mouse to do initial settings and then the free xmbc remote control app in iOS
- The remote xmbc remote app doesn't seem to work at all with rasplex and the necessary settings like http control does not seem to be available
- I'm interested in setting up live TV and tried to get to these settings by changing skin. When doing this the Plex library is unavailable
Am I doing something wrong??
Just got my RasPlex set up, and I seem to be having some trouble. Videos and music that are actually hosted on my server work fine. When I try to play streaming online content (Netflix channel, YouTube channel, etc.) I get a "Please Wait", and nothing happens. When I go back to my server, I find that the media is playing ON THE SERVER.
Any thoughts?

Channels are not supported yet so your mileage will vary.
@mjr1284. I had a similar problem and this was my solution: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/65429-solved-frozen-splash-screen-black-screen/
@Boomshaw, thank you for your help. Before reading your post I had ordered a new 2.1 a USB power adapter from monoprice and tried it out with no luck. Your post made me think it had something to do with my SD card even though I had safely ejected the SD from each time and had successfully installed and ran the Rasberry Pi OS image without issue.
I received my new SD card yesterday and repeated the steps to load the Plex image on. Well success! The new SD card works flawlessly. I haven't had a chance to do much more then go through the initial setup wizard and try a quick TV episode, but it's definitely working now.
For anyone who comes across a similar problem, check your SD card. Originally I was using a TOPRAM 8GB SD (SDHC) Class 10 card. I went with it because it was cheaper and it was still class 10, but I definitely spent more time trying to figure this out than the $10 savings was worth. The card I replaced the Topram with is the SanDisk Ultra 16GB SD (SDHC) Flash Memory Card Class 10.
Thank you everyone.
Please ignore this, I made a duplicate post by mistake. Sorry.
Is there any way to disable the auto update feature? I want to stay on 1.32 until Wifi is working again. I got it seyup and working last night, but it updated itself overnight to 1.35
thanks again
