We’re hard at work on both Plex/Nine and the next Plex/Eight release, which contains (among other things) a few fixes for Snow Leopard issues (no solution for the Apple Remote issue yet, unfortunately).

In the meantime, our brilliant group of plug-in developers continues to make available more and more content. Here are the latest four (and many thanks to Jay for the artwork, and to Isaac for being the release manager!).

The topics target the intermediate Rails developer, but beginners and experts will get something out of it as well.

Lastly is Tête à Claques.TV by oncleben31. This plugin allows to watch videos from TAC.TV (also known as Tête à Claques.TV in French).

Since we released the Plex Media Server we’ve received a large number of requests for documentation for the Python Framework used to build plug-ins. That day has finally arrived!

We’d like to introduce you to our new Developer’s site, created by James with design help from the ever-talented Alexis.

We’re still fleshing out many of the areas of the developer’s site, but the development manual is online, the result of hours of work by James (Framework documentation) and David Bartle (site configuration documentation).

So if you’ve been waiting for documentation to tackle that plug-in project, or you simply could use a nice reference, check it out!

(And to all the brave developers who waded in without documentation and created some kick-ass plug-ins anyway: Namaste!)

We have yet another plug-in for your viewing pleasure! We may still be sorting out the Snow Leopard compatibility issues, but that isn’t getting in the way of our plugin developers from making amazing plugins.

Written by Jonny Wray, NME brings you the latest music news and reviews, music videos, and gossip.

Yet another plug-in written by Sander Spies, Radio Books is a plug-in which provides stories by Dutch and Flemish authors written and read aloud on commission to deBuren. They are new stories which have been specially written to be listened to and not to appear in print. Radio Books last between 20 and 30 minutes. The stories are read aloud by the authors in front of an audience once only. In addition, Radio Books are broadcast on the radio and distributed via the internet, where they can be listened to or downloaded free of charge. Radio Books are a nostalgic product of the present age. A new distribution technique via the World Wide Web is linked to one of our oldest traditions: storytelling.
