Just got me a nice, shiny new Remote Pi Board Plus 2015 for my rPi2. Set it up via the instructions on their website, and most things work. But (track) seek and ff/rw don't work at all. The up/down arrow jump seems to be much shorter than I get it regular versions of Plex/HT.
Anyone have any suggestions? This is with a Harmony, by the way, but I don't think that should matter. Used their instruction of setting it up as a Windows Media Center, and confirmed the previously mentioned buttons are mapped to their according rPi commands.
Well that's great news for me if its not related to the remote (and fixed in the next release), but I thought they fixed the larger ff/rw issue in .60...

If you are using 0.6.0 you don't need to setup anything, no files to copy, no scripts to create, it's all built in. In System Settings there is an option to enable the RemotePi Board.
However, for some reason MSL Digital don't provide codes for FF/RW (I think due to the fact that their remotes don't have FF/RW buttons on them), but it is easy to achieve.
Unfortunately I'm not at home this weekend, but will provide a walk through, hopefully on Monday, to enable you to get this working.
The up/down/left/right buttons will give you big skip forward/backward and little skip backward/forward.

Thanks, Ned. Looking forward to your walk through.
The up/down/left/right jumps seems to be shorter skips than my Mac Plex/HT. For example, hitting up only gives me a 1-3 minute skip, whereas I'd expect it to be closer to 10 minutes. Is that a RasPlex difference, or maybe another mapping issue?

As Rasplex 0.6.0 has everything built in for RemotePi Board I would suggest you back out any changes you made before starting particularly deleting any lircd.conf in configfiles directory if you copied one in there and reboot.
Follow the guide and just create two entries, one for KEY_REWIND and one for KEY_FASTFORWARD pressing the corresponding keys on your remote, when finished reboot and test.

Thanks for providing this, Ned. Just for clarification, you are suggesting that I do not follow any of this configuration guide from the MSL Digital site: http://www.msldigital.com/pages/logitech-harmony... so if I reinstall Rasplex from scratch, that solves the problem of the previous lircd.conf file. So all I'm going to be doing is running those three commands from SSH, and only am going to create entries for rewind and fast forward?

Seems simple enough. I'll report back!
Hadn't seen that page, must be fairly new, yes you need to disable the power button according to those instructions, if that's all you did then there shouldn't be a lircd.conf file in /storage/.config.
You don't need to install Rasplex from scratch, just follow the wiki link I sent.
The new lircd.conf will supplement whats already in the system directories in Rasplex.
