Amber 1.3.1 released (lots of visual improvements)
PleXBMC 3.3.9 released (improvements + try to fix MyPlex problems)

See first post for DL links

I'm really loving the Amber Skin and updated Plexbmc. I've got XBMC on an Openelec and Plexbmc with Amber blows away Plex Home Theater - you get the best of both worlds. Better XBMC playback and the benefits of Plex.

I was wondering if there was a repo for the updated skins/Plexbmc addons? I manually check the thread for any updates but it would be nice to have a repo.

Zekeman · 2014-01-11, 21:38

Pecinko... I vaguely remember this being asked and I cant find a search on it... is it at all possible to integrate "tv tunes" addon for xbmc to work with plexbmc? I am sure it is more complicated than it sounds, but could that ever be a possibility?

I'm getting the same error (and same xbmc.log entries) with GDM, MyPlex and Manual config. You're right though, the server is on the LAN.

Edit: After a few reboots, it seems to be able to connect. Playback is a bit flakey, but I haven't adjusted any settings yet.

I am having the same problems and the same errors in the log. PlexBMC version 3.4.0.

Sounds good! Btw - magically worked after a couple of reboots. Playing just fine :-) I guess there still is an issue though. Not supposed to be that unstable.

Hello everyone,

I am having problem installing PlexBMC on my Raspberry Pi. I have RPi B Type (512 MB RAM). I installed OpenElec 3.2.4 and then tried installing PleXBMC without success. I tried using both the PleXBMC version 3.4.1 and the zip from github repo (plugin.video.plexbmc-frodo). In both cases I have the following error in my log:

You need to install version referenced in 1st post:

PleXBMC version 3.4.1 (MOD by pecinko, KodeStar, zeflash)
http://tinyurl.com/pt8omgo

Take a look at your add ons folder and delete every instance of plugin.video.plexbmc* . Download version 3.4.1 and install via "add from ZIP". Please report back.

I installed the version you mentioned, then installed the amber skin (had to update XBMC add-ons to overcome some dependency unmet problems for the skin). The skin loads but cannot display any of the Plex content. When I try to run PleXBMC from the Video Add-ons I still get a script error but my error is different now:

Pecinko,

Thanks for awesome work as usual... where can I find a change log?

- Home page sections should refresh properly
- Script error should be fixed
- Breadcrumbs should be improved

Guys try manually setting PMS IP address, add or remove MyPlex login, restart a few times.

This error is very weird as it suggest script has a problem parsing (valid!) XML file for some reason. You can try using element tree instead of celementtree (if you know your way in python) but script will parse at least 3-4 times slower. Am still not sure what exactly is going on.
