[RELEASE] OpenPHT 1.8.0

Dev Community Apps & Creations
81

Is there any indication of a new version ?

82

Not a word

83

Still having audio lag. I think Iā€™ll switch to Plex Media Player or maybe Kodi.

84

Nearly four months passed since 1.8.0. I had hoped that we get new versions at shorter intervals.
No offense to the developers! Itā€™s just frustrating from my point of view because Iā€™m using Plex/OpenPHT every day and likewise often Iā€™m looking for the next step of development. o:)

85

i hope this isnā€™t dead in the water

I also use OpenPHT in our Livingroom and in Cinema room daily so I hope it isnt dead either.
However, even when PHT was maintained by Plex inc. updates took lots of time (some updates took years) so as long as it is not dead - itā€™s cool.

Had a problem but solved it. Great work guys on the update!

88

Is there a guide to install OpenPHT under Ubuntu 16.04?

For which part do you need a guide? Download, Double click, install, run and he happy?

Edit: I remember there was a lib missing for me in Linux Mint, but I canā€™t remember which one exactly. Something SSL I think.

@ā€œdaniel.cullā€

I would like to try this on my Odroid C2. Problem is I donā€™t want it to write to my eMMC memory card. Can I force RAM video caching like in Kodi inside the 2GB RAM of the device via the advancedsettings.xml like I can with Kodi?

91

Iā€™m having issues with my wifi disconnecting when idle on my odroid c2. Iā€™m using the ODROID WIFI MODULE 5 as my wifi adapter. Anyone having this problem and know how to fix it? Iā€™ve tried a clean install and still the same issue occurs. Running on a EMMC module on OpenPHT-Embedded-1.8.0.148-573b6d73-Odroid_C2.aarch64.img

92

Any update regarding a new version or is OpenPHT dead?

93

I sure hope not. Remains the best player around (w/ Aeon Nox)

94

It seems to be dead. I donā€™t like Plex Media Player so I have to switch to Kodi 18 but it would be nice a new OpenPHT version with audio lag errors fixed. Iā€™d give it a try

95

Seems to be dead, Plex player is very badā€¦

96

I did run into some audio / video jitter problems with 1.8.0 so Iā€™ve switched to watching through Chromecast exclusively. Did give the official player another try but itā€™sā€¦ justā€¦ awful.

97

OpenPHT is/was one of the best Plex-Players ever. This official Plex-Player is crap - dont like it.
But it seems, OpenPHT is gone/deadā€¦ too badā€¦ :s

I love it too, but 4 months is hardly a long time between releases. Especially considering PHT were pretty slow (especially the last one that went a year- then announced itā€™s deprecation). While it doesnā€™t look like thereā€™s been much as of late on GitHub, I wouldnā€™t put a fork in it. I know nothing is ever stable for everyone but the embedded versions for me have been wonderful. The rasplex guys have jobs (and probably families, friends etc) and they do these big projects that fall under their scope- for fun and for us. I look for updates occasionally (like a new toy) but 4 months (march?) in software terms is far from ready to assume itā€™s been abandoned. Plus with the scope of the work theyā€™ve done and the amount of peoples efforts put into it; I think if that time comes theyā€™d probably let us know. They simply may of taken summer off. Couldnā€™t blame them.

My post is from 6 weeks ago. :wink: So meanwhile more than 5 months passed since last release (just to clarify).

I am far away from reproaching somebody for his selfless work. This is not the point, realy!
I just want to remark that the developers have accepted responsibility to the users of their project.
To inform the users about bad news (maybe with a forecast) is a much better service than posting nothing for months.

Certainty about no progression is hard, but uncertainty about the project is much harder.

Again, this is not a charge, just a hint. o:)

itā€™s dead, wrapped in plastic
