+ 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?

Our Mirrors Runneth Over
We can’t tell you how much we appreciate the overwhelming response to our request for mirrors. Isaac worked his ass off on some scripts, and now the whole thing is automated. Adding or removing a mirror is trivial, and you should never get a bad link even if mirrors go down. What this should translate to from your perspective is FAST Plex downloads!
At this point we have 23 active mirrors, and that should be enough. We’ll definitely keep all the contact information for everyone who emailed, in the event that we look to add more mirrors in the future.
We would like to thank the following people, on the active mirror list, for their generosity:
- Juggeli (Finland)
- Roopesh Sheth, Family, and Pets (USA)
- Anonymous (USA)
- Anthony ter Neuzen, Theatre Projects, (The Netherlands)
- Michel Rabozee, aka Mickey (Belgium)
- Elias Vaattovaara, University of Oulu (Finland)
- James Garrard, 3wires.net Hosting (UK)
- Torfinn Nome (Norway)
- Cato
- Nicolas Hyvernat (France)
- Nick Peelman, Peelman.us (USA)
- Steve (USA)
- Nicolas Hyvernat (France)
- Andreas Schlicht, media byte Hosting (Germany)
- The Computer Society at Lund University and Lund Institute of Technology, <http://www.df.lth.se/> (Sweden)
- Liquid Gravity, Inc <http://liquidgravity.com> (USA)
- Lars-G. – dev.n0ll.com
- Aris Biscevic
- Martin Månsson (Sweden)
- Ron Dutt (USA)
- Karl Söderström
- Michal Waissmann, Sok Media (USA)
- Rune H.
- Vivek Iyer
- neuro, zensoft.net
Thank you all very much, and also many thanks to all other other people who responded with offers for hosting.
Edit: Looks Like Elan forgot a to mention a couple of our mirrors! I’m using my ninja skills to hop in here and add them for him (–Isaac)
