Plex in the Wall Street Journal
Hey, pretty cool, we got a mention in the Wall Street Journal on July 24th. I spoke with the reporter for a while, but unfortunately Barkley got left on the cutting room floor. The article is called “Feeding Your TV With Video From the Computer or Web” by Christopher Lawton, and he wrote:
Developers of … OSXBMC, which this month was rebranded Plex, say [it plays] more formats than rival products directly from Apple, such as Front Row and Apple TV. Apple declined to comment for this article.

Happy Thanksgiving Elan and everyone celebrating it! I make a toast to all the things done..."
Congrats! It would be an amazing day if Apple actually chose to support this. Long shot? yea but the more mainstream press the better the possibility.
WooHoo!
And here’s a link for everyone to see!

It isn’t much, but it’s a start!

LOL that was a great start to the article: A guy takes home video of his kid but it won’t play on his @TV. I think that sums up the thing that is most wrong with @TV, the 360, and PS3- they are locked down not only using DRM but limitation of file formats popular for so-called piracy.
I just discovered Plex on Monday and am quite happy moving my video library from my 360 to a mini with Plex on my 42″ LCD. I’m quite happy and can’t wait for more goodies from Plex and XBMC.
elan, I am disappointed in your failure to reference the GPL in this article! :-p
i’m just here to say i check the website religiously for new releases! is there a rss feed or email list for notifications? (sorry, i don’t do twitter) thanks elan!
@goldragon: Your best bet is to subscribe to the feed for this blog, as 90% of the posts are release announcements. Scroll down to the Feedburner icon on the right.
what’s next? you doing an interview on G4 tv elan?
wow…not that it matters but I’m sure that pissed the XBMC people off, primarily the same ones who voted you off the island
not at all, we are well aware plex’s roots and the vast majority of the code is xbmc.
