Is there any benefit to doing a fresh install on a formatted SD card vs. just using the RasPlex Updater?
Would that be faster at all?
I presume doing a fresh install will clear your settings and cache, whereas the update will not?
It will keep your settings like: myPlex login, Wifi key, localization, …
Yes, I gathered I would have to redo all of my settings, which isn't a huge deal. I'm just curious if a fresh install would be any faster. I'm finding the menus a bit too sluggish for everyday use, especially for the wife. I usually end up using my iOS device to select the file I want and sending it to the RasPlex to play.
I tried both and the sluggishness is there both ways. I have a feeling it is related to the HD artwork caching. So I am back at .35!
I must say that I am not completely fair since my main client is PHT on a 2011 MacMini. It is really hard to compare any thin client to a full blown computer running PHT.
Well i doubt rasplex will end up being as fluid as on a mac mini, but 0.1.37 should be quite faster than previous versions as far as speed is concerned.
what is the class of your SD card ?
.37 its running flawless for me,
p. I always do clean installs, bad habit :D

I have a Class 10 SD card. It seems that it keeps hanging on the caching when it gets to the same point in my Library. I have about 10 sections of movies (Drama,SciFi,Comedy, etc) it hangs around the 8th section at which point it never even gets to my TV-Series section.
So it gets through about 300+ movies after which it hangs. I let it sit for a couple of hours and when I try to browse after that it locks up and the GUI starts to redraw all wrong and I have to restart.
I can't seem to figure out how to attach images here so I can show you what I mean.
Anyway in .35 there is no problems other then some sluggishness.
I am wandering if having all the sections in the main menu makes a difference.
I have re-flashed the card at least 10 times now going from .36 to .37 and back to .35
.37 its running flawless for me,

Do you mind telling me how much media you have and how many sections you have it in. I can't get .37 to scan through all my media!
Thanks.
oh no, my library it's small,
like 240 movies in two sections and no TV series,
