Unable to get add-ons

Hi,

 

New installation via get rasplex 0.4.1 (pi B) and I'm unable to get more skins or browse for add-ons. Get more skins just flips back to the screen showing Confluence and Plex, and Programs has no sub menu's (using Confluence at the moment) and going into programs gives an error of GetDirectory failed for: addons://sources/executable/

 

 

I've tried installer version 0.5.1 and the same error but in addition my MCE remote doesn't work. Using 0.4.1 the remote at least works.

 

Edit:- noticed that trying to add video's gives similar errors too. Just a thought, but I've been playing round switching between cards with Rasplex and Kodi and is there something in the Pi itself that remembers that needs to be flushed? The reason I say that is with Rasplex new install, the previous content menu's appear before it's asked you to sign into plex.

 

Any ideas or pointers please?

Rasplex is not XBMC, you can't add new skins through 'get more', you manuall y have to find Plex compatible skins and manually install them, search the forums for how-to's. Plex doesn't have addons, try some of the Channels.

Thanks for the reply, and sorry - my fault!

Got confused running both Kodi and Rasplex / PlexhHT on PC and swapping between. Not sure what what what or how it should work in the end. Took your advice and have now found out how to add skins from the forum archive.

I'm glad you've solved your skin issues.

As for other addons, the Plex approach is to handle most such things server-side, so in order to get addons for online video providers you will need to install the corresponding 'Channels' for your Plex Media Server. Those channel addons then become available to any plex client on any platform, as long as that client logs in to your main PMS account.
