Release 0.5.21: Drunk enough to know better

Top two reasons why I shouldn’t have released 0.5.20 quite yet:

  1. I was heading out to a long dinner party, virtually assuring that there’d be a problem I couldn’t address for many hours and beers.
  2. I changed things after the testers did their work. Bad me, no biscuit.

Two changes in this release:

  • FIX: Crash on entering settings menu. Elan kan’t kode.
  • FIX: Restore screen backlight level on exit.

The new release is available in the usual place. Will you forgive me if I post another photo of Barkley? This is him watching as his buddy Poots does tricks at the behest of our friend Heather. French Bulldogs can fly.

    We forgive you. For Barkley and for the settings crash. Plex rocks!

    Everything works as advertized for me! No need to apologize, Elan, but the picture is welcome ;) Thanks!!

    As much as I love every new release of Plex, I think I look forward to the Barkley pics as much as the bug fixes.

    That woman is hot!
    With that said, I’d like to vote in favor for giving you (elan) a new nickname. You could at least make pimp.plexapp.com a working alias to this blog of yours. ;)

    Thanks for all the amazing updates, elan & crew!

    I liked the new release almost as much as the nice girl in the picture :D

    Now CPU is a real problem. It took 30% of my Macbook Pro’s CPU when Plex is idle!!

    @Pacino: It’s a known issue since the first release and certainly nothing has changed in the last few releases to make things any worse.

    @Job: Internally drive letters are mapped to paths, dating back from when the code ran on the XBox, would probably be better to show a better default :)

    Since updating to 5.0.21 (from 5.0.19) the apple remote seems to be missing alot of commands. I didn’t clear out the advanced settings, and I’ve got a custom keymap so I didn’t clear that either.

    Maybe I’ll try a reinstall.

  13. dean October 6th, 2008 12:20 pm

    Clearing out advanced settings seems to have fixed it.

    Please continue a tradition of including chicks in the release photos.
    Dogs are so last year.

    hot chick + dogs + plex = hot!
