I have Rasplex on a RPi2 in my kids play room. It has the onboard camera on it that I have never used. I was curious if I am able to enable it and use it as a monitor for my kids while running plex?

thanks

Sorry, it’s not possible, you would not be able to install any of the packages needed to get this running.

Is there another option? For example, running raspbian, setting up Camera, then installing Plex HT within raspbian? I have never tried installing Plex within a Linux ARM version. I have always used the Rasplex image.

There is no ARM version of Plex HT, that’s why Rasplex exists.
