I have version 0.3.1. I corrected my issue by forcing Transcoding.. now it seems to be working fine. but, the Channels dont work. I thought I read somewhere that they are not supported yet. I see them.. they just dont work.
Samspayed
samspayed and trpt4him, which versions are you running?
I'm running 0.3.1 version. But, I got this to work by forcing transcoding in the preferences. but, it seems like the Channels dont work.. (like the CW, ABC.. stuff like that).. they work in my Roku.. but, not with Rasplex.. I'm guessing its not fully supported yet.

I've never had channels work on the pi, so you're definitely not alone there. However, I have enough content to put that on the back burner for as long as they need :)
Since there is obviously no auto update enabled for these experimental builds, is there still a way to manually upgrade from 9.9.12 to the latest? (Without reflashing the card again)
I haven't tried myself on the new builds, but plugging the card in to your computer, or transferring the update files over to the pi via ssh or smb still might work.

Frosty: I was trying to do that but couldn't fine any update files past 0.3.1. Blah I'll just stop being lazy & reflash the card. I was just annoyed I flashed 9.9.12 only to find out .13 & .14 already existed.

I'm going to try updating from 9.9.12 to 9.9.14 tonight over the network just to see if it still works using the methods I posted earlier.
UPDATE: I was unable to update from 9.9.12 to 9.9.14 over the network. Not sure why, but it was so easy previously. Anyways, i'm on 9.9.14 now, but plex for iOS has an issue where i can't use it as a remote anymore. work around it with a usb keyboard plugged in and i'm good to go.

Option 3: Via SD-Card (not recommend)
Just replace the IMAGE and KERNEL file on the first (FAT32) partition with the ones from the target directory of the archive.
These method won't check checksums and may lead to a none-booting installation. Use this with care!
The Fat32 Partition doesn't have an IMAGE file, perhaps they mean copy SYSTEM & kernel.img??
Cheers Rob.

When I would manually update, I would copy a few files from the folder named TARGET over SMB to the pi, then reboot it. Very simple. I never bothered with physically removing the SD card since they warn that there's a chance it might not boot. In my opinion, if an SMB or auto update isn't available, the best route is a reflash.
Thanks for the tips all. Going back to my original problem it was the fact that I was working with two networks. With help I had to disable DHCP check box on the second router so that everything is now on sub addresses of the same IP. If that makes sense…this stuff is new to me. Thanks!!

Copying over the FAT32 contents from the rasplex-9.9.xx.img.gz to the Fat32 Partition of the SD card works - added bonus it also preserves all my settings and artwork.

*EDIT - I started over with a fresh image of 0.3.1, The Rasplex can now access my PMS remotely.
I'll update this if I manage to break it again and can tell what I did wrong.
I've installed version 0.3.1 on a 512MB RPi, things are playing well as long as I force transcoding at 3Mb/s or less. This is so cool!
Here's the issue I'm struggling with at the moment.
I can get the rasplex to connect to my server when on my local network, but I can not when the RPi is outside of the network.
I've had trouble reaching my server from outside my LAN before, but at the moment, I think I don't have network config issues. (Unless I've gone and configured my network in a way that is functional for every device i have except the rasplex, which is a possibility.)
The server has a static IP on my router, and the router forwards port traffic to that IP.
I'm using a mobile hotspot so I can test this without leaving the location my PMS is at. The PMS stays on home internet connection, the devices testing 'remote access' use the hotspot.
I can get PHT and the android plex app to connect from outside on other devices (laptop, phone) but not on the rasplex.
When rasplex is outside my LAN-
-I can get the Rasplex to sign in to myplex. (In the PHT "preferences" menu)
-I can see my videos linked in the "Queue" section. I think this verifies that the Rasplex is able to communicate with my myplex account.
Is there anything within the rasplex network settings that I might need to adjust so that it can find my server after it signs in to myplex?
Has anyone encountered an issue like this already? (I've only read about 4 pages of this thread so far, and I failed to find anything while searching.)
Thanks,
Mark
I figured out what was happening. The PHT is not remembering the myplex Password after a restart. I did not notice this. Remote access works as long as I enter the PW each time I start up.
To replicate the PW issue.
-boot a clean image of 0.3.1
-connect to a network outside of LAN where PMS lives
-Use the PHT preferences menu to sign in to myplex
-Browse and play content (not neccissary to replicate, just verifies that the PMS is available.)
-Shut down the rasplex
-Turn it back on. The rasplex will no longer be connected to the PMS
-Open the "Prefernces - System" menu.
---Note that it says "signed in"
---Note that the PW field is blank.
-Re-enter PW. The PMS content is available when the "preferences" menu is closed.
Is there a way to get the RasPlex to store the PW so it can sign in automatically upon boot?
*EDIT - I found a way to get the PW remembered for one boot.
This required saving the PW in plain text in a file. I know this is not a very good idea, so i tried it with a new temporary myplex account.
I edited the file /media/Storage/.plexht/userdata/guisettings.xml
In that file, you'll find a block of text like below. The password section will be empty.
plexusername
true
plexpw
If you edit the file, and fill in your PW, it will be stored and then all you have to do is boot the rasplex, go into the prefences, and hit "sign out" followed by "sign in."
The next time you boot, the PW will be gone.
The password dissapears whenever you hit "sign in." You can re-enter it, and have it show up on your next boot, but only if you re-enter it after hitting sign in.
I'm OK with having my credentials in the file. I'll play around and comment if I find a way to get the PHT to sign in on its own, and to not lose the PW.
It will be nice to have a workaround enabling me to stay logged in, until a better solution is implemented.
Thanks for this awesome software. I hope we all donate generously to help you fund the great work you do.
Hi Guys,
My Rasplex has permanently on screen an 'audio muted' icon. It doesn't seem to affect the audio (ie. audio works fine over HDMI), and I've looked through every setting to see if there some audio mute setting somewhere activated. If I muted and unmute via the playback controls, the icon still remains at the top of the screen. It is not the TV mute. I have changed the skin and it still appears. It is always on screen through all menus and video playback. It does not appear on my other plex clients - only the Rasplex. Running current firmware.
It's not a major issue, as everything still seems to work fine - however if I could get rid of it it would be even better.
Any ideas?
