Plex Media Center for OS X Leopard

+ Top FAQs with Plex - for more help please check the WIKI.

How do I add internet video such as TED, YouTube, CNET etc?

Internet sources are added using the App Store found in the Applications menu. See the following screencast for more info. vimeo.com/3315184

One of the plug-ins has stopped working.

If a plug-in stops working, it’s likely that the structure of the site changed. This doesn’t happen very frequently with most sites, but it’s a definite possibility. When this occurs, an entity we call the “Campfire Robot” springs into action automatically and tracks us down to let us know, and shortly thereafter we can push an update. As such, if a site stops working, the best thing to do is to check the App Store for updates. If you have automatic updates turned on, check your install history to see if an update got installed while you were getting coffee.

I don’t see the Applications Menu Item.

If you previously used v5 of Plex we suggest deleting the folder called Plex found in ~/Library/Application Support/. Many things have changed and a fresh install will ensure the best performance with Plex.

How do I make Movies and TV Shows show up in their respective areas with poster art, plot info, etc?

   Perhaps we’ll get a new build just with that implementation. Great work Elan, I can’t wait for the next release to sink my beta jaws in!

   Actually, I’m still tracking down some filesystem character issues. For some reason directory/filenames are still screwed up…

   I hope that this also fixs the problem with Swedish fonts (I assume so). I am so close to get myself a MacMini and that is all due to your work with XBMC… I want to be abl to retire my old Xbox:)

   @madmax: Yes!

   @Jalle: No reason why it shouldn’t.

    elan: Are there any plans, in the future, to implement Sparkle auto-update functionality? I’d assume “no until we get to ’stable’” but I’ve been asked this around and thought it made sense (I don’t know if there are plans for version-checking in other platforms but the same functionality could call platform-specific functions in each).

    eduo: Yes, but I’d be happier if Sparkle supported incremental updates, as the full package is quite large.

    @eduo: Saw that. Looks like vaporware at the moment
