Hi

&nbsp;

And thanks for bringing plex to the RP.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I have yet to see my RP playback video from my PMS?

Every time I try to start a movie, it reboots? No exception...

&nbsp;

The RP is running the latest bleed build: 0.1.25 from a Kingston class 10 SD card.&nbsp;

Its wired network and using the original RP power supply.

&nbsp;

Any hints, ideas as to why this happens?

&nbsp;

Thanks in advance :-)

&nbsp;

/peter

&nbsp;

ps. I don't quite see any performance increase with the latest build compare to 0.1.17?

ARe you running a 512 or 256 rpi?

I believe it could be the default overclock settings by Rasplex are too high for some rpi's. &nbsp;This is also being discussed in the support thread. &nbsp;I think it's set to 900 with overvolt = 2. &nbsp;While doing some research about overclocking on openelec in the past I remember seeing a lot of people having trouble overclocking over 850. &nbsp;Pop your SD card into a computer and edit the config.txt file. &nbsp;At the bottom you will see what rasplex has set for the default overclock settings. &nbsp;I would turn it down to the values below and then give it a try. &nbsp;If you are still having issues, you may need to format and re-image your sd card. &nbsp;The crashes from overclocking your rpi too high can corrupt the SD. &nbsp;If it does work, you can try testing some higher values to see how high you can get it without it rebooting.

arm\_freq=800

core\_freq=350

sdram\_freq=450

over\_voltage=0

Thanks a lot for those settings timtlm! These (and a different PSU) finally made my RPi stable as well! Now I can actually start using and testing Rasplex :)

If those settings are more stable, I'll push them into the beta

Hi

First sorry posting in the wrong thread, Dale.

Now to my RP. It is the 256 version.&nbsp;

The only value that was different from the list that TimTim posted was the core freq. Mine was running 450. I then changed it to 350.

Although I haven't seen any reboots yet after the change. None of my moves will playback on the RP. They either return a general error about not being able to play, or appear to begin playing only to show a fullscreen black? They all work fine on ATV, iOS and Samsung SmartTV?&nbsp;

It's mostly resumed playback that fails with an error message, where as play from the beginning simple does nothing (no errors).

Although I have had 1 incident where after ca. 12 minutes of waiting the playback started (it was a 480p movie)

I have a spare RP that I just tried out with. But same results.

I must be doing something oddly wrong since it is this buggy and unstable?

Any other tips up your sleeves? ;-)

Thanks, Peter

I am seeing the same behavior. Reboots on attempt to playback any streamed content to TV via HDMI at 720P.
