+ 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?

SÅDAN NIKKI – Godt gået
Ej for mega fedt med nogen danske plugins! Det kan vi lide at se!
To the developer of the FEED app, job well done. with it, i can transfer all my podcasts out of iTunes and directly to Plex and free up some valuable space on my hard drive. It is very easy to use.
Keep it up guys… I am a very happy user!!!
Nikki this plugin is simply just a revolutionary, amazing, fantastic and a new epoch of web broadcasting TV…. Now we in Denmark got the opportunity to watch all DR programs on demand. Last night I watch DR1 from Live TV (via web) and this morning I saw X-Factor again from ON DEMAND TV, without any problems. The Audio quality is brilliant although the video size is only half size!! But this is fixed with the enlarge feature.
The ON DEMAND TV and video podcast menues are very good from DR, this is not quite the case on the TV2 plugin.
A great thanks to the Plex team, Nikki and DR to create this opportunity.
Nikki, this is very cool indeed. I’m very much looking forward to trying the DR plugin. As i currently live in switzerland, i guess I’ll run into some sort of ip-lockout, but i cant really blame you for that
But then i have something else to look forward to (apart from more pork) when i move back. Thanks for the effort!
Another request. It would be nice if even when you play movies with the video-menu it will still fetch movie information over the internet.
Great work on getting Universal Sports on there. They have a ton of good cycling content covering the Giro D’Italia and Vuelta and having it on Plex kicks ass..
big thanks to the developer of the Live Music Archive plugin. Such as great plugin, and the new feature is awesome.
Hi Nikki
This is an awesome plugin but i am having some trouble with it. I can watch the live streams no problemo. But i cant hear the radio, nor the on demand feeds?. I am not located in Denmark, is this the reason?.
To the people having trouble with the DR plugin. Remember to install Silverlight.
