Comments on: Release 0.7.13: Improvements to the Media Server http://elan.plexapp.com/2009/03/10/release-0713-improvements-to-the-media-server/ The Plex blog Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:09:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mac Pro 1.1 http://elan.plexapp.com/2009/03/10/release-0713-improvements-to-the-media-server/#comment-22695 Mac Pro 1.1 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 06:37:54 +0000 http://elan.plexapp.com/2009/03/10/release-0713-improvements-to-the-media-server/#comment-22695 I found out on another site while researching the problems I have been having regarding 1920*1080 h.264/mkv files. It seems that Apple does not allow direct access to hardware like other operating systems do. Maybe with openCL that OS X 10.6 offers will improve this situation. Until then I guess I have to begrudgingly learn to use windows. I am sorry I wasted everyone's time.

If you enable mouse support, you have the ability to move a cursor around, and to scroll through menus with the scroll wheel. Conspicuously absent is the ability to _click_ on anything :) I am confused about your “mouse” support …

We got it at PetSmart a while ago, I'm not sure if they still carry them. @Chad: The blue one with the little metal bones on it, I assume.

It seems to me that the last several releases of the .7 series have been playing 1280x720 mkv with increasing difficulty. Dropping frames and such. I understand that all this open source software is basically reverse engineered. So from the start it is at a severe disadvantage. For instance my machine when running under the free windows 7 beta and Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 can play 1920x1080p blu-rays with zero problems (not counting lossless audio codecs). I think I could upgrade to a nvidia 8500 using unsupported hacks if that would solve this problem. Maybe there is something in the configuration files I don't know about that can make use of all the cpu power. I don't know as most users seem to have just one core 2 duo processor. On the other hand if this is the limit of Mac OS X I would like to know so I could begin the painful process of making my HTPC windows only.

I could do that in the previous build. I do like that I can turn off "help" in this update though. Please enable us to turn off "tv-series" and "movies" again :) Great update, but I cant turn off “tv-series” and “movies”. I could do that in the previous build.

Please enable us to turn off “tv-series” and “movies” again :)

If i go to help of the app store, i get into the applications screen. And i cannot access my music library.... the buttons are gone :( I hope you can fix it, at this time i get back to V. 0.7.12. Ow... the menu, maybe it's an idea to make a combination of the previous spacing and this new one.... Good work and keep on going! Thanks! Hello Elan, you do very great work with the plexapp.
