Hey everyone,
Rapid post, just completed an easy-installer for Plex Media Player. After some fettling and a lot of dependencies, I managed to get a 32-bit .deb package created.
Though OpenGL is working (so the interface is not utterly painful) there is no hardware video decoding of H.264 because... well, thanks, Imagination Technologies. It does work just fine for audio though, so if you have your music and podcasts on Plex you might find this handy.
You will need the latest Ubuntu Bionic image on a USB stick. No internal memory for this one, all the dependencies take it over 1 GB. Fire up your Joggler, SSH in with username 'of' and password 'joggler' - the IP address is now shown on the login screen! - and then:
It'll reboot - log back in and wait for the system message to say "Drive resizing complete.". Then:
Wait a while, there's a fair bit to download and install. When it's done:
Let me know how you get along with it.
Interestingly, at 1.3 GB this would be small enough to fit in the internal memory of an OpenFrame 2... which also has a mini-PCIe slot...
