Hi!  
  
I tried to install the Storage of RasPlex on USB drive and not the SD Card.  
  
I come from OpenELEC and was using it there without any problems.  
  
Why I want it on USB? At OpenELEC it is snappier.  
  
When I try to run RasPlex from USB I get the following error: Could not mount UUID=…  
  
So has anyone of you running RasPlex with this setup? Or is this not supported?  
  
Thanks in advance!  
  
  
Best Regards

If you are running the latest version of Rasplex (0.4.0-rc4) there is no benefit in running from a USB, just stick to a Class 10 SD card installation.
