RasPlex

Raspberry Pi devices are becoming more and more popular mostly due to their flexibility since they can be used for a wide variety of needs.

If you own such a mini-computer, and you are also a fan of Plex when it comes to your home entertainment, then RasPlex might come in handy.

It needs to be mentioned right off the bat that this application is not meant to be operated by novices or people with limited PC skills. You need to not only download the correct RasPlex image corresponding to your device model but also copy it to a suitable MicroSD card.

To get Plex Home Theater on Raspberry Pi, you need to plug the previously mentioned card in the device and initiate the installation process.

The GUI installer of RasPlex makes it possible for you to download the image that runs best on the Raspberry Pi model you own.

The images are different since each model features a certain amount of RAM that might restrict some Plex functions, which in turn means that only older versions of the software are supported.

Once you specify your Raspberry Pi model and select the destination folder, you only need to wait until the image gets downloaded. Depending on your Internet connection, it might take anywhere between some seconds to several minutes until you get your RasPlex image on your local folder, ready to be copied to a compatible MicroSD card.

After you have completed the above steps and you have also installed RasPlex on your device, you will be able to access Plex content using any device in your home. In other words, you can watch movies, share playlists or queue TV shows by simply connecting to your Raspberry Pi.

RasPlex is the ideal solution to be used when you want to take advantage of Raspberry Pi’s portability and the feature-set of Plex at the same time.
