Interesting ... could you point me to some other thread link about this. maybe its a server related issue then
It's definitely a server related issue as it happens in PHT on my PC, Plex Web and the iOS and Android apps. I'm not sure if there's a specific thread on the issue
Edit: found a thread reporting the same issue http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/65861-dts-icon/?hl=%2Bwhite+%2Bbox
Rasplex newbie. Love the project. Looks great and understand it's a work in progress. I've searched the forum and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I'm running v0.1.35 on a Raspi Model B 256M. Installed fine found my Plex server which is pointing to a QNAP with all my content. I can play music and view photos fine but can't seem to get any of my videos to play. I can run them locally on my server. All of the videos are straight DVD rips to .VOB. I checked the /storage/.plexht/temp/ log file and I see the following error:
ERROR: OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer
Apologize is there is another thread for this or if this was covered somewhere but again, new user, and searched the forums and Google in vain.
Thanks for any help and again great work on the project!

Do you have the MPEG2 licence for the PI installed?
Hi!
I upgraded to 0.1.36 today and now the PI doesn't boot anymore (could not mount /flash/SYSTEM).
Currently reinstalling, just wanted to communicate this
Best regards
Martin
Reinstall woks.
Do you have the MPEG2 licence for the PI installed?
I have not. Sorry, found the link and the file instructions. Will give that a try.
Hi,
when I saw RasPlex was out, I immediatly ordered a PI (512Mb).
Two days later, I was testing RasPlex v1.32. It was quite slow and buggy but really promising.
Since I'm running v1.35 I didn't has any freeze. The PI is hidden behind my Panasonic Viera, with CEC support and powered but an USB cable and it's just great !
So thank you to the dev team and people who started this project ;)

I have my license file and edited the config.txt file however am getting the following error when testing the codec:
VCHI initialization failed
I see a couple of other people received this same message but I didn't see any replies that potentially fix this. Has there been any developments with this error?
I looked on this forum and checked out some other resources.
Does rasplex actually work over WAN? I've setup my server @home and am now trying to connect to this server from our office.
-I tried to fill in the server manually with both hostname & ipadres
Nothing really happend. I get no "Movies" or "TV Shows". Just the normal "fresh boot" menu and that's all.
For the record, streaming from my home server to my iphone/ipad works perfectly. So it's not a routing / setup issue.
Am I missing something or is this just not yet supported?
Solved my problem with the HDMI handshake. Turns out it was an issue with my receiver. Did a microprocessor reset and it's working fine now.
1080 playback is definitely choppy, 720 as well. SD seems to work fine. Video playback was better in 1.31 although I still had freezes. Still early in development so to be expected. You guys are doing great work. I wish I could do more than just post in the forum but I have no coding experience.

Ok I got rasplex setup now connected to my movie database (+/- 50 movies) and TV shows database (15 shows with 500+ episodes).
There's one issue left. WHen I start a movie/tv show ep it says "Please wait" for about 1-5 seconds and then nothing happends.
Anny suggestions?
Does RasPlex 0.1.37 auto cache if left alone or do you need to scroll through the entire movie list to get cached images and info?
Also, has anyone had any success overclocking without crashing? Specifically to Turbo settings. Other distros of XBMC do not crash on my unit but RP does however only 5 seconds after starting a movie.
if you are in the movies section it will cache alone without scrolling
Hey everone,
since the WD Live Box I had before doesn't fully support the Plex server, I moved to a Raspberry Pi which arrived just yesterday.
At a first look everything seemed to work flawlessly but at a second look I have problems playing movies with an DTS sound track. So I searched the forum and came across various posts stating that the RasPi is trying to decode the DTS - and indead this seems to be the case. When I play such a movie, the CPU is constantly at 98 - 100% and every 4 to 5 seconds the movie stutters.
So I moved to the config and changed some values according to a topic I found dealing with the DTS problem. In detail I moved to the following values:
arm_freq=800 core_freq=350 sdram_freq=350 over_voltage=0 force_turbo=0 hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_force_edid_audio=1 config_hdmi_boost=4 hdmi_drive=2 gpu_mem_256=128 gpu_mem_512=256
The topic said to use force_turbo=1 but I didn't want to change that value because of the warranty problems. With the values given I got an error message of my TV (Sony KDL55HX755) stating that an unsupported audio input was detected. So I removed the hdmi_force_edid_audio line - and I was back to stuttering.
I also found this topic (http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/64293-patch-from-popcornmix-that-allows-for-dts-decoding-without-stutter/) which says that RasPlex should already include a fix of the DTS problem - so I'm not sure if I'm experiencing a problem with another basis or if it is still the same.
As for my hardware configuration I'm using a class-4 SD card at the moment and RasPlex version 0.1.37.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can modify this /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold and change the value from 95 to 60. What this does is determine the max load on the CPU before turbo kicks in. Currently it waits for the CPU to be under 95% load before overclocking, but if you lower it to around 60% then it tends to be overclocked all the time without setting the warranty bit.
I've noticed that with Version 0.1.35 everythign seems to work pretty nice except for the low res images. Once upgraded to 0.1.37 the USB has all sorts of misreads with my keyboard. Is this already a known issue with this new bleeding versions?

0.1.37 seems to suffers from issues probably coming from the last OE merge. we're working on it to try to clean that up :)
Thanks a lot for your answers.
@PhAzE: Will give this option a try. Do I have to set 'force_turbo' to '1' to make this work or can it stay on '0'?
@LongChair: Is your remark with the OE merge only valid for the USB issues or as well for the DTS issue? Or to put in other words: the fix mentioned in the link in my post above - is this already included in the current version of RasPlex so that there shouldn't be any DTS-issues or is this still an open point to be addressed?

The DTS issue only exists when trying to decode DTS on the rpi (meaning, not passing through DTS to a DTS-capable receiver but decoding to 2-channel audio on the pi). The CPU just isn't beefy enough to handle it without hardware decoding, which the pi can do but DTS has not licensed its ability. In my experience, the only thing that helped was a pretty significant overclock (that I unfortunately don't know what it was now), but also caused SD card corruption when I left the pi on overnight. I've since acquired some heatsinks that I hope will help, but I haven't been able to run into that overclock config again. I think the core freq was bumped up pretty high, though.
