Have downloaded latest build, #7 build and first build at seperate times. Each one has the same behavior. I drag to applications folder, it installs. I try to open it and it does one bounce like it is opening but ends up doing nothing. The crash log says something about library not loaded. also there is no folder in libriary/application support that is labeled Plex. Any help on this would be great. I am running it on a Macbook Pro.
Thanks

I am really impressed about the simplicity of such a powerful application.
I would like to ask two questions:
1. Do you know if the plugin XOT-UZG that can be found in XBMC is already available under App Store?

2. Where can I find more informations about the Python framework to develop new plug-ins?

eyeTV would be great but I guess you guys have your priorities straight as you have gotten this far already

Beautiful! While Plex is great for watching video/other pics (and now streaming video), Miro (getmiro.org) is magic for automatically downloading and managing video from the internets. Especially if you add feeds from tvrss. I’d be so happy to see some kind of merge between these two brilliant projects. If, for example, the Plex devs could dig through the Miro code and rip out the aggregating part, provide all Miros content and offer the functionality that tag videos as watched/unwatched and provide it as a plug-in, the world would be even more beautiful! It’s free software, so no legal prob to borrow code, I presume. Keep on doing great stuff! kthnxbye

It would be handy if the plugins specified if they were region specific or not. Most everyone knows Hulu is US only but others appear to be as well, such as MTV since it doesn’t seem to work for me. These plugins also seem to freeze Plex as the cancel button doesn’t seem to work and I have to force quit the application.

I don’t see the App Store. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the latest version but I only see the DVD player and Front Row

Awesome improvements guys.

Except with this release I’ve been seeing some ugly artifacting when I start playing videos.

Anybody else seeing this type of behaviour?

Great job! But I do not understand how to use Plex. I consider myself fairly computer literate, but I really get confused by the interface. It looks great, but I do not understand it.

I managed to install apps, but how do I “run” them?

Great job, guys… Is anyone working on a BBC iPlayer plugin – preferably with an IP proxy, so you could use it outside the UK? That would be AWESOME!

@MILE: they probably want you to disable any adblocker because it is possible that it blocks commercials on say, hulu. (when I experienced this with firefox hulu displayed a message and just waited 30 seconds or so, probably longer most of the time then the commercial would have been) Also, obviously while some users might like this, this would be a reason to not allow the use its content that hulu could object to on its own, w/o being forced to pull it by content providers.

Wow, you guys really DO aim high don’t you? I couldn’t think of too many ways to make Plex that much better (it was already awesome), but you’ve now shown us all … amazing work!

Great work. Unfortunately the Google Time:LIFE viewer truncates som of the descriptive text when viewing photos Can you fix it?

Thanks for the new release, but I’m having a bit of a problem with Hulu and Twit Live.
First of all, none of the shows I’ve tried on Hulu don’t play, and Plex crashes if I don’t cancel out.
Also, any time I try Twit Live, I get the same problem, Plex crashes unless I cancel out. And after I cancel out, and try another app, it says “PATH NOT FOUND OR INVALID.”

Other than that, everything works great.

Before this release I was switching back and forth from boxee to plex – plex for media i already have archived on my computer and boxee for streaming from the internet. Thanks for letting me get rid of boxee.

ummm first time user of Plex and it looks nice but just like Boxee can be a little confusing. I’m still having trouble figuring out how/where to add my first feed (eg Hulu). Also, how the heck do you switch music off once something is playing without having to switch off and restart? Also feels a little rough round the edges as mouse use is also a little inconsistent. I’m sure I have to dig deeper to figure this out.

@DigitalG watch the videos on this blog post. the installed apps don’t appear under ‘applications’ (yes, confusing, i know). they show up under their respective categories on the main menu. ‘Hulu’ will appear under ‘Videos’, Google/LIFE will appear under ‘Pictures’, etc.

By: Rybber

Rybber — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:10:47 +0000

Wow, while reading I thought: Is this April 1st? But no, it actually works great! Time:LIFE is sooo cool.

How about adding Flickr/Picasa etc. with a bookmarking and authentication feature?

WoW great job. Now that boxee doesnt have Hulu anymore. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks great job guys

This is utterly amazing!!!

One question. Is the only way to access the media streams from within “file” view? I do everything in Library mode and don’t see anything. Perhaps if they were shown where the normal “video” plug-ins appear (now that this section seems to be obsolete). Just a thought…

What’s that sound? Oh, it’s people running to plex from boxee…
