Opening the plug-in floodgates…
As I mentioned in the last post, one of the reasons we are so excited about this latest release of Plex and the Plex Media Server is that we’ve added lots of new features in support of new plug-ins, as well as an elegant new version of the Python plug-in framework. We’re going to be releasing a bunch of new plug-ins this week, and here are the first four. N.B. Please make sure you install the latest version of Plex before installing these!
SVT Play, written by Daniel Eriksson, Mattias Norlander, and Ivar Åsell, is a lovely plug-in for Swedish speakers. The content is available for viewing outside of Sweden, which is excellent news as well. These guys did a great job with the plug-in.
Next up, for our British users, James added support for the awesome 4oD site, which has an amazing amount of content. The site was recently converted from Windows-only to Flash, and now it’s available on your television. You might notice it takes a little while when first entering directories with lots of content, but then after that it will be both instant *and* up to date (this is part of the magic caching of the new framework version).
This next one is one of my personal favorites, and not just because I wrote it, and fell in love with the new version of the Python framework in the process. Vimeo has got tons of amazing content, with lots of it in HD. You can spend hours in here, easily.
Last, but not least, Democracy Now! was a request on the forums, and it has some great news content.
We hope you enjoy this first round of new plug-ins!

Stoked about Vimeo and SVT (for international users nonetheless)!
4oD just got ready for the mac and theres a plug in for plex already, awesome.
Oooh Vimeo! Awesome. That one is going some usage.
Thanks.
This is so sweet.
I’ll see about adding support for Spanish content. Currently there is a plug-in ( http://blog.tvalacarta.info/plugin-xbmc/ ) that uses XOT-UZG for this. Is there an easy port-path from XOT-UZG to this new architecture? I’m not sure how compatible with the traditional Plug-in structure this new one is…
I love the SVT Play plugin, great work guys!
Very excited about SVT Play making it into Plex. Great work, guys!
Thanks for the SVT Play plugin. This was the first plugin I thought of when plugins was added to Plex. Nice that I didn’t have to write it myself
Excellent work again! The love keeps growing
Absolutely fan-f***ing-tastic (excuse my “french”)

guys, this is really good work!
Are the plugins compatible wih xbmc? I would love to have the svtplay-plugin there aswell..
@oblada: They are not, and even thought portions could be translated, XBMC lacks the technology to play Flash/Silverlight content.
Wow. Thank you so much for the great work! I asked for DemocracyNow! – and I am so happy that it is available on Plex. Thanks!
Big props for the SVT Play plugin! Now I might start watching other things besides sports from SVT!
Great! One plug-in I’d really like is one for the New York Times video (and the whole archive).
Hi all, will there be a subtitles downloader plugin in the near future?? Thanks!
(I did the graphics for SVT Play by the way
)
@tassitassi: Killer job, they look great!
