rasplex won't remember any settings

Third Party Apps & Tools
1

So i managed to fix most of my annoyances with rasplex (well, mainly just one - wifi signal strenght) and beed using rasplex very happily for few weeks...untill now. I came back home after few days and found rasplex to be unresponsive. Not the first time, so I just rebooted. I immediately noticed that all the PHT settings (audio output, subtitle font, display settings etc) were gone. It seems that PHT wont remember any settings at all - they are reset to default after every reboot. Rasplex settings are persisent (WiFi, ssh, bluetooth etc) after every reboot, but PHT are not.

Additionaly, subtitles stopped working. I can see them and select them from the menu, but they are not being displayed.

 

Any ideas?

I haven't got my RasPi yet and I was just reading forums but is your Pi's disk space full possibly? Sounds like your image cache might've filled up to the point that it's unable to update its settings. Just a thought!

Thanks for the reply.

It seems indeed that '/storage' and '/' are 100% full.

What shall I do now? I'm using 8GB card and those partition seem to be too small.

RasPlex:~ # df -h

How do I resize the /storage partition? I tried 'growstorage' option in cmdline.txt but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty surprised that the growstorage option doesnt grow the partition to the full size, this is what it's meant to do :)

I just read on facebook that "Growing storage should be done before first boot". If i understand correctly my best shot is to reinstall rasplex and edit the cmdline.txt before I boot raspberry? If so, how do I do it - there will be no ssh and I'm on mac, so ext4 partiton won't be recognized.

edit: ok my bad, boot partition is fat16, so I should be able to edit it

i'm on mac as well, and config.txt is on the readable partition, so just put SD in your mac, once the SD card shows up, open config.txt, edit the boot line to add growstorage option and voila .... :)

I dont think you need this only on first boot even if it's better to do it before you're SD is full :)

Yeah, I just edited my post, you are right, boot partition can be edited on Mac. Still, 'growstorage' didnt change anything, I just rebooted pi again to make sure. I guess I'll just reinstall and see if this helps.

Okay, I feel stupid now...you are supposed to add 'growstorage' to first, existing line of text, not to the new line.

It's working now. I'll see if this helped with PHT settings.

edit: yep, it did help and PHT settings are now saved after reboot. thanks everyone :)
