RasPlex with Berryboot

On any installed SD card of RasPlex, or of OpenELEC(XBMC) for RPi there is a file simply named “SYSTEM”.
You can take this file as is, copy it to a computer and rename it to whatever you like with a “.img” type extension.
For the most recent RasPlex version I’d use a name like “BB RasPlex 0.4.1.img”
(The “BB” prefix is just to ensure that I never confuse it with a ‘full’ RasPlex image, for standalone use.)

That file can then be stored on a FAT32 USB drive (together with other such images) to supply install images for BerryBoot.

this is very old, is it still true? i’m looking at RasPlex-1.6.2

It is true in principle. Recent RasPlex versions installed in that way still launch fine under BerryBoot. But unfortunately there is a compatibility problem with existing BerryBoot releases as they use slightly older RPi kernel routines than those for which the latest RasPlex versions are compiled, and this causes various problems. So until a new release of BerryBoot is made that is based on a newer kernel, I have to recommend NOT using recent RasPlex versions under BerryBoot.

Is the advice above still current? I run Rasplex/Retropie using MultiBootPi.com image and only issue I have is the cache doesnt seem to update - my PMS has current artwork but my Rasplex doesnt pick the new files up with artwork

Have in mind that Multibootpi.com is using Noobs so some things could be different

Hi,

same problem here. I was able to install the old rasplex images but they won’t update to new version. So I’m looking for a way to get a new version on my berryboot Card.

Is there a way to create a squashfs image from a woking SD-Card with rasplex (singleboot)?

Update it manually and it should work, just open the correct fat16 partition of rasplex and drop the new files.

I have successfully moved in that way an updated installation from an SD to another SD with noobs

Usually you just need to move the SYSTEM, kernel.img and theirs md5 for updating it, and after that I was able to update it from inside Rasplex
