I just wanted to remind my fellow Mac users that they really ought to be using Plex to play back all their movies. (And I do mean movies—a quick clip here and there, you’re best served by VLC or mplayer.) A new version, 0.5.15, was released two days ago, and includes all the usual bug fixes that you’d expect. What’s unexpected, though, is the complete revamp of the application’s branding: new logo, splash screen, default skin, etc. (Again, I recommend the skin Aeon, though it’s a bit of a pain to set up.)
In conclusion, Plex is neat. Use it.













I just got Plex and it doesn’t do a damn thing. Mac users “aught” to be using applications that work, not cryptic crap that has no a/v control buttons or preference settings.
I’m glad to have Simon’s input here - because I don’t like to be told that I should be using something without knowing why. Sounds more like shill than a genuine endorsement.
And yeah - spell check won’t help you on a word like “aught”.
Ha, I found another site recommending this so I tried it out, it’s actually pretty nice. I couldn’t get the IMDB look up to work though which would really make it nice.
Yeah the word is “ought” in this case.
“Aught” can mean “all” or “everything” but in other cases it can mean “zero”.
