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,
p. I always do clean installs, bad habit :D
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,
