RE: Laika Revealed - Plex Gets Official Windows Client, Cloud Sharing, Plus New OSX & Mobile Clients

["Mark Gardner" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For me, Mac is/was the problem. I too bought a Mac mini for Plex but I
just could not get on with it (the Mac, not Plex) so it went to someone
who will love it more via eBay. I'm not anti Apple and use an iPhone and
an iPad extensively, although iTunes really is the spawn of the
devil....

I returned to XBMC Live on an Acer Revo, which is pretty bullet proof.

I have nothing against Plex per se, and now they are on Windows, I will
be trying it again. My Revo is already dual boot XBMC Live and Windows
7.

IMHO, Plex need to come up with a Plex Live ala XMBC Live though.

For me though the real race for XBMC and Plex is who gets to integrate
PVR (preferably Myth) first.... (I know about Mythbox but that seems to
have been broken in the latest XBMC...)

Another M.

I've found Plex to be pretty much like the Mac in general.  Most of my
friends and family that rolled their eyes a few years back are now using
Macs (and Plex).

I really don't understand what people (especially supposedly techy
people here) found difficult about it in the early days.  I know it
wasn't good at handling physical media and ISOs - and I still use it for
neither so can;t comment on how it is with them now.

I do try and not bother evangelising about my favourite stuff these days
- I tell myself it's their loss :)  I'm making an exception this time
though, as if you've not tried Plex in a while it's time to look at it
again - maybe in a week or two though after the big new release of v9.5
has settled down.  Or grab 9.4 for a stable release that we use hours
per day on multiple platforms / zones around our house.

If you like, tell me.  If you don't, delete and install something else
;)
