What’s All This About?
When iTunes was discontinued, I switched to Plex for my home media server needs and have been more than happy with it. Then, a few days ago, a comment on the Joggler Forums got me wondering why I’d never looked into running a client on the OpenFrame.
Two problems were obvious; no hardware accelerated video decoding in the OpenFrame 1 or 2 due to it using the GMA500 ‘Poulsbo’ chipset, plus the lack of a 32-bit Plex Media Player build, which I wanted to try as the web interface was being sluggish.
I’m not certain that I’ll manage to get the OpenFrame devices playing video as I would like (experiments with the Crystal HD BCM70015 card have not gone well so far), but with any luck this .deb will help out some other fringe case.
