Release: Plex/Seven 0.7.5: Five juicy fixes, and a partridge in a pear tree
Hope you’ve all been having fun holiday celebrations! I’ve been drinking heavily and obsessively fixing bugs in Plex, and finding that the two activities mix well.
- FIX: The audio dropout issue which was introduced in 0.7.2 should now be fixed.
- FIX: The corrupted German MediaStream strings.
- FIX: File size reporting bug in HTTP API has really been fixed this time.
- FIX: Some tweaks to “album artist” tags in Plex Media Server iTunes module. Thanks to zanex for helping explain what was wrong.
- FIX: Certain videos (FLV, YouTube, 22KHz MP3 tracks) played back at double-speed. Thanks to Ryan for explaining how to fix this one.
Release is here, and source is here.
This is Barkley on one of the first days after we moved to Maui.

Wow, you’re on fire man! First no release for weeks and now lots of them in few days. But thanks for the fixes
Amazing App, Ty.
Thanks.
Still no scrobbling to my last.fm via media server, but I will post it through the forums. If I remember… It is nighttime in Norway..
Would it be possible to get an md5, sha1, or sha256 sum for the dmgs?
@erik: SHA1 for this release is 5eda4d2ea83b0b8dcd07585e308caf7a81828f52.
My Apple remote stopped working with this update…
Yay. FLV Playback fixed. As per… You rock. Love the work brother.
Nice photo. What camera you got?
Thanks!
Very cool app. Looks amazing on my TV and offers much more than front row! Please keep up the great work.
Thank you for all the hard work you have put into this great project!
Thanks a lot for fixing the German strings, had to change it every release by myself
@Cecil Jurgensen: Thanks! The photo was taken with a Canon 20D + 17-55mm EF-S lens.
“and finding that the two activities mix well.”
Have you forgotten this: “Release 0.5.21: Drunk enough to know better”?
I’m just kidding.
Thankyou for the continuing dedication to a fantastic application. Keep up the good work.
Man, this is awesome!
keep kickin ass.
howzit, thanks for such a great program!!
i didnt know you lived in Hawaii!
Oahu boy here….
it’s from china,i could hear the audio when i using the 0.7.1.but update to 0.7.5 can not.why? please tell me how to setup audio!
Great! All it needs now is volume “overclocking” ( like VLC does ). It’s the only thing keeping me from using Plex full time.
Thanks, I’m going to give this a shot. BTW, nice picture of Barkley! I vote for more dog pictures in Plex.
How can I run MediaServer on a OSX machine, without running Plex?
Hello. I don’t seem able anymore to view Trailers from a movie’s information window. Of course I have enabled the “trailers” button when I set the contents for the source, I wonder whether it is a regression introduced with this release, or whether I missed some obvious thing in the new (wrt to version 0.5..) configuration menus. Thanks for your help. Plex is really great.
@pippo: i read about this on xbmc’s forums also .. apparently because of the way imdb.com does trailers changed and older scrapper versions don’t work anymore .. the latest scrappers in their svn tree work from what i’ve read so maybe next update when elan pulls the latest changes from them it will work in plex too
Finally got around to updating to 0.7.5 (from 0.5.22) last night. I hesitated due to a few issues I had read about on the forums but WOW – am I glad I went for it.
My harmony remote setup was a breeze and it works much better now with the support introduced in 0.7.x.
Loving other new features as well – very pleased!
Congratulations for this new release and all the hard work put in this project.
It looks like the link for downloading this release is broken. Anyone able to post the .dmg file on rapidshare or a similar site?
@Rage: Fixed now, sorry!
Oh yeah the Harmony update is so nice. That feature is only overshadowed by the digital audio support. My one question is, what the heck were you were feeding that dog to make such an impressive movement? I can see why he’s guarding it…
Why does the timestamp on the application show created May 1, 2008, Modified on July 28th, 2008?
Can’t wait for the Mac Mini to be released. That’s the only thing that’s holding me back from going Plex 24/7
Can’t seem to get the source…
The link you posted returns a 404
@bob: Yeah, something appears to be broken on Github. You can visit http://github.com/elan/plex/tree/v0.7 for now, and also, in the Plex -> About menu, where it says something like “Version 0.7.5-75abcc4″ that last part is the SHA of the source used to build the release.
barkley is such a cutie
Hello.
I would like to ask whether the developers are aware of problems with vobsub subtitles: most of the time the subtitles are rendered on top of each other (ie without clearing the previous ones) and for all languages at the same time, sometimes they just freeze Plex (onscreen message: buffering), and then a “force quit” is the only way out. I could not determine a pattern for the freezes.
pretty sure they know about it .. been lots of forum posts about it .. its a known issue with xbmc as far as i’ve read .. surprised its been a “bug” for so long though
Hi,
i have a Problem with the visulation in the Version 7.5, i want to change the Option, that enables visulation when a song is selected to be played. When I select no visulation it always comes the player, and i have to go to the paylist and then to get out to the menu.
Then there ist he Problem that the Screensaver comes after 12sec, automaticly if a mp3 Song is played. I want to change this Preferences, but there is no Option to do that. Can you help me please?
And i’am still waiting for the fully Support of Blue-Rays with Menu. Is there a cance to get this Option such as it is made with the DVD- Support?
