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?

   Thanx for the good work. Plex just keeps getting better and better.

   Just one problem… My OSX firewall keeps asking me to allow Plex Media Server. Every time I start Plex for the first time after restarting my computer this happens.
   I don’t know if it has anything to do with PMS not being code-signing or what?

   @The Walrus: This will be fixed shortly. The problem is they the compiled Python files are breaking the signature. It’s a known issue, and it’ll be fixed, hopefully in the very next release. Goog goog g’joob!
