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?

Roadmap improved

April 02nd, 2008 | Category: Coding | Author: elan

We’ve restructured the milestones on our Trac site to correspond to specific versions and better illustrate the bugs and features that will make it into these versions. A few things to note about this:

  • When you’re reporting a bug or requesting a feature, please leave the milestone blank! Please do indicate the version for bug reports.
  • We’ll decide which milestone (if any) will include the bug-fix/feature based upon a few things: the number of comments the ticket receives, how difficult it is to implement/fix, and how important it is to our core user group, comprised primarily of our wives and Barkley. (Hence, anything requiring opposable thumbs is out.)

Remember, the more detailed the bug report, the more likely it is that (a) we’ll look at it and (b) we’ll be able to fix it.

Thanks!

    @Elan, maybe you ought to think of using our wiki more as well?:

    @Gamester17: Actually, I find Trac to be a much better way to track features, progress and bug reports than a wiki. The wiki is just too freeform, and, in my opinion, doesn’t work as well for project management.

    @Elan, we also have task-manager on SourceForge which is similar to trac:
    https://sourceforge.net/pm/reporting/?group_id=87054

    and trackers as well, and we can create as many new trackers or subcatagories as we like there:

    @Gamester17: Sorry, I have no interest in moving away from Trac, I find the SF tools subpar.
