Plex Media Center for OS X Leopard

+ 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?

   Thank you very much for the CBC content, I haven’t tried it yet but this gets me one step closer to not having to use that other program to view Canadian content.

   Excited!

   I would prefer that you ban religious apps before porn apps from the Plex App Store on pure priciple

   Why allow religious and political apps but not apps with adult erotic content?

   I think that most Plex users would prefer easy access to porn apps.

   Pr0n… i understand your argument but i appreciate the fact that i don’t have to worry about my kids jacking around with plex and installing a porn app.

   if you’re desperate for a porn fix, i hear that something like 70% of the internet is made up of it… shouldn’t be too hard to find. as much as i appreciate internet freedoms, i appreciate people like the makers of plex who take a responsible approach to keeping some filters on the web.

   I would agree that I would rather see pr0n than religious apps. Since you only need to install what you want to see, i dont see any reason not to have any adult content.

   I third the pr0n before religious content.

   If there is any kind of content that is unsuitable for children, it’s religious material.

   Personally, I’d much rather find my kids watching porn (within reason) than the narrow-minded vitriol spewed by some of these religious types.

   I wish someone could explain to me why it’s deemed perfectly acceptable to show immoral and illegal acts (stealing, killing etc.) but not to show the most natural and normal thing in the world (sex).

   @Dave, @Liam and others: As soon as we have parental rating system in place, we’ll definitely reconsider adult content, even in the main app store. Trust me, I understand where you’re coming from

    I’d like to see some plugins for the gay/lesbian websites such as LOGO which is not porn.
