Great job on the new update guys, you rock!!
Only thing I still miss is the alternate content option for docu’s, music DVD, standup comedy stuff like that. If that was to be added it would be a 100% sollution for me. The app looks and feels great! Can’t wait to check out this update.

I can not open the dmg-file. Newly installed MacBook Pro 13″ with 10.6. It says Not recognized and I tried both disk utility and diskimageutility. Have downloaded it several times using both safari and firefox. What could be the problem?

I’m using the optical out on a new macpro and after playing certain MKV files, the audio drops for any other like file. I remember this bug pops up from version to version but I can’t seem to fine the 07x version where it did work that I used to have.

It would be great if you guys could fix this bug once and for all so I don’t have to keep quitting between every episode of a t.v. show.

Hello Elan,

I realy need an update of Plex. Running Plex in Snowleopard with the Harmony remote is realy bad. Frontrow and iTunes start everytime I press the Menu or the Play button.

Greetings from Germany Arthur

The Now Playing screen with the visualizations in the background is great. Now I wish for Electricsheep.org screen saver visualizations in the background. Is it possible?

Thanks for this new release!
I use Plex on a plasma with MacMini and apple remote.
Transitions are indeed smoother.
I noticed that the remote no longer triggers the shutdown popup. So my evote as well to bring the previous way back.
Missing movie covers on double CD movies was already identified.
More importantly, the new now playing now shows up despite my setting visualization none. With my type of screen, I preferred the previous behavior and now playing displays only upon song change.
In any case I am a happy frequent flyer and look forward to the next update!

I’m having problems on Snow Leopard. The volume seems to have a mind of its own, goes up and down when I’m not even pressing anything on the Apple Remote. And just now Front Row started itself -I didn’t even press anything.

Good work. Would love to see an eject option for optical drives.

About the quit menu that everyone is talking about… if you want to keep the UI simple, why don’t you make it so when you press the menu button on the remote while on the main menu, the cursor scrolls to the Quit item. That way, it would take one less button click to sleep the system (as apposed to the 8.1 way). Best of both worlds!!!

I have the same issue as a couple others… around a quarter of my movie thumbs don’t display. Also, the Apple Movie Trailers app won’t play any movies. It spits back the error “Could not determine input format” after clicking on a trailer. A fresh install didn’t fix the trailers error and I’m going to rescan my library tonight to see if the thumbs error continues.

Other than that… thanks for the update guys.
