I was chatting with one of the RasPlex guys last night requesting if they could update the "Shutdown" functionality in RasPlex to allow it to reboot the Pi rather than shutdown so i could use it with my Dual Boot Setup and he asked how i was doing so, as he had had a few queries around how to do this so i thought i would document it here for anyone interested.
I am currently running a dual boot setup of RasPlex and Raspbian.
Setup is VERY simple and only takes a few mins:
1) Download RasPlex latest image file from here:
2) Unzip and mount the image (i am currently using OS X so was able to natively mount the image file. If you are using another OS then you can probably find a number of free tools to browse IMG files)
3) Locate the file called "SYSTEM" (largest file on the image)
4) Copy to Desktop, and add extension .img (or rename to something like RasPlex.img)
5) Copy to a USB Stick
6) Download latest version of BerryBoot from here:
7) Unzip BerryBoot to a normal FAT formatted SD Card
8) Insert SD card (and USB stick) into Pi and boot
9) BerryBoot will load and prompt you to install from a list of Operating Systems - Select "Cancel"
10) Click AND HOLD the "Add OS" button and an option to copy from USB stick will appear
11) Click this and select your img file
12) Wait for it to copy
13) Remove USB stick and reboot, BerryBoot should display, and after a short 10 second timeout (which you can change to whatever you want, e.g. 3 seconds), RasPlex should load!!!
14) You can then reboot once RasPlex is up and running, and go back into BerryBoot and use the "Add OS" button to install Raspbian or any other OSs you wish. As long as you have RasPlex set as the default then it should always Boot Rasplex unless you choose another option before the countdown times out.
Hope this helps a few people!
