Plex Media Center for OS X Leopard

+ 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?

   Maggie is a cutie pie. Is she Barkley’s girlfriend?

    I think I will hold off for 0.7.7 since this appears to be yet another rushed released, so rushed in fact that a) no change log b) no link c) Iordonez didn’t even have time to review his brief post before publishing – ‘back shortly with some cute pictures soon!’.

    LOL Elan gone for more beers?

    @Lee: Actually it wasn’t rushed at all, the release itself has been ready for a few days now, and I just ran into some glitches tonight publishing to the blog. But if you check again, you’ll see the post is complete, and there is a changelog now.

    Could be useful if you’d let us poor manual updating mirrors know.
