I was about to tell you guys to stop focus on the plugins and instead put some work into other stuff, like the over complicated music player. Then I saw the Pitchfork plugin and I’m never going to complain again. You guys are amazing

@Weavus

I would suggest some kind of rating mechanism, where users kann give 0-5 stars to the usefulness of an app and also check an attribute e.g. does not work outside US.

I think its not easy to figure out that it doesn’t work outside the USA when you are sitting in the USA.

For me, sitting in Carinthia / Austria most of the Apps are therefore not very useful, because they don’t work here

If you use weather location as a filter, you need to change the weather service. In Norway, where I live, only a few cities are covered by the current service.

Any chance you guys can filter out all the plugins that only work in the USA? Here in blighty I can’t get half of them to work because of where I live. Plex already knows my location for the weather, can you perhaps use that?

Another great political plug-in to consider is democracynow.org — It would be great to watch Amy Goodman on Plex. Thanks for the life-improving software.
