You'd also need to be stood near the screen to see it, which defeats the point of it being remote - this was not an option. This is undesirable, as you need to have the cupboard door open to see the screen, or mount the screen on view, so you can see what you're doing with the remote. Use a screen in the cupboard and IR / RF remote to operate some media centre. Design Considerations Remote Control Options The undesirable option: The player and amplifiers are to be hidden away in a kitchen cupboard, but I needed some sort of remote control.

I wanted a way of playing music in my kitchen via some ceiling speakers.

Please direct any inquiries to (I have but have to wait a week to set it up because of google silliness).An amazingly simple solution to what could have been a big headache! There is also a very affordable case with some nice goodies on the way (plan on donating a portion of the proceeds back to Raspberry Pi foundation, but first batch won’t be ready until mid-late April). We are in the process of making a Qt based “one click” GUI installer, that we hope to roll out within the week. So, don’t get discouraged if things are a bit shaky at first – my advice is to force caching by scrolling through “All Movies” and “All TV Shows”. I also love the rich media experience Plex provides.Ĭurrently the UI can be a bit laggy, especially on the first run (RasPlex has to cache a lot of metadata, pictures, etc from the server – I have a solution to make this more smooth, but haven’t had time to implement it yet). I think, however, than Plex and the Raspberry Pi is a natural pairing, since the Plex server can handle any decoding that the client cannot. I love XBMC, on which Plex is built, and have been using it for years.

I currently use RasPlex 0.1.27 for my every day media center usage. Visibility has really increased since we got on engadget Thanks for the Manley Thanks for the publicity.
