It's running fine powered of the Pi's USB. It was around 63 from Argos, which isn't a bad price at the moment. I'm using a 2TB Seagate USB 3.0 drive with my Pi 3 (just Raspbian, not Plex). Please direct any inquiries to (I have but have to wait a week to set it up because of google silliness). 2badmice wrote: Well my Pi came yesterday and I am practically ready to go with my Plex server, once I've picked up a USB hard drive for my media. Constructed as a set of simple-to-follow, step-by-step ins. 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). Read 3 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. 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”. Use a client that can play the files you have, and Plex barely has to lift a finger. As for transcoding, the solution to that is not to transcode. 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). No, the latest Raspberry Pi models use USB 3 2.0 and has a gigabit interface over it, which means you get up to 300mbps throughput. 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. , although beware that 4K support from RasPlex is not quite in place yet but should be worked out soon enough. If you really want 4K support, you can step up to a Raspberry Pi 4. It supports full 1080P playback without stutter or frame drops. Visibility has really increased since we got on engadget It’s the most powerful cost to performance ratio for this project. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B has been an amazing device used by millions.
