[quote=106114]Smithers,

You once again provide good products! I had my doubts of what the Aeon Skin would look like on the plex build since the XBMCplex addon is kinda garbage, but this is really clean looking. You really must stop coming out with all these different builds b/c its takes me to long to setup my retropie each time.

Any plans on a Retropie/Rasplex/Openelec build?
I might tinker with what you have released now. to add in the third booti just need to find the boot partion number for each after it gets installed through noobs and make the scripts?

Yeah I think it looks fine. I too had my doubts when I was building it because of my lack of knowledge of Plex. When I set it up and was presented with a black screen with 4 options I thought… hmmm.. this is not good! I persevered and registered for a Plex account and as it transpires the thing comes alive once you set it all up and looks good!

I have heard a few people calling for a Triple-Boot with Plex and KODI alongside RetroPie and it should be pretty straightforward. You are right in that all you need to know is the partition numbers really, but you will only know these once you have set it up ‘blind’ for the first time. Then you can create a new ‘autoboot.txt’ (or amend existing) for each partition, create a new script for each partition (by copying my existing scripts), assign the script to a menu item in Plex / KODI and away you go! I will create a triple-boot myself though too, just as soon as I am finished with the Raspbian triple boot.

I have setup my Emulation Station theme to cater for Rasplex, KODI, OSMC & Rasbian so I will upload it into the ‘Themes’ section on this site for those who like to tinker with these OS’s.
