Elan,

Do the frame rate limiter / sync fixes address the 23.976hz sync issues?

I’ve been waiting for movie fanart too. But it seems like you have to manually set it; I can’t get the automatic fanart based on moviename-fanart.jpg working.

I second sandman4sure’s question:

Is the fanart for movies implemented in this one? This looks super cool on AEON.

Thanks for all your hard work Elan, Isaac and any other developer whose name I’m not aware of

@B,P,X user

Boxee helper is called boxeeHelper so it shouldn’t be killed. Plex isn’t deleting the helper rather than it’s checking if it’s running while starting and killing it, you cant have two helpers running at the same time and expect good results, especially if they are both “always on”

If Plex kills XBMCHelper on first install then it kind of ruins XBMC for Mac and Boxee installations as they also use XBMCHelper. Some people might want to have all installed at the same time to play with.

“NEW: Plex now replaces the default NIB shipped with SDL with its own, which means, among other things, all the standard ? accelerators work, like ?-Q, ?-M, ?-H and, yes, even ?-F to toggle full-screen mode! ”

THANK YOU! This app just got 100% more useful.

Looks great! Can’t wait to test it when I get home from work.

@Spot: Arrgh…there is indeed a regression around using the second screen, my apologies about for that. I’ll fix ASAP. It was working fine, but then I fixed some other problems, and seem to have broken that in the process.

Hello!

Thanks for the new release, however, this seem to be the most unstable version I have tried so far.

I removed old Application Support directory for XBMC (to start from “clean table”), in order to avoid previous problems that I have had migrating to b10 version.

Now it seems, that using my secondary display (LCD television) isn’t possible anymore by selecting “Screen #2; 1368×768″ in the resolution choice in settings. By selecting that, and pressing “Test resolution” – the screen in secondary display just gets a window with white interior and normal OSX window boundaries (red/yellow/green dots, title, etc). Also closing Plex isn’t possible, however, regarding to the sounds the UI is functional even it is not shown anymore.

I haven’t yet tried advanced settings options, however, I think quite a few users are using the same kind of configuration as I, so it would be great if you would have some workaround for this …
