Depending on how youвЂ™ve stored your video collection, you may want to select Use Folder Names For Lookups (if youвЂ™ve given folders movie or show titles) or Scan Recursively (if youвЂ™ve got subfolders of video clips). In the art source list, choose where you want Plex to pull DVD art from. There, choose Set Content and, next to This Directory Contains, select Movies. Select the source folder and press C to invoke PlexвЂ™s contextual menu. To get DVD covers for your movie files, for example, browse to your Videos source list. Plex can automatically download album art for music, DVD covers for movies, and even promo images for TV episodes from IMDb or any other source you choose. After that, the buttons on your remote will offer a much more intuitive interface.Д«y default, videos show up in Plex as boring, generic icons-until you add DVD covers and album art. If you have a remote control, youвЂ™ll need to use these keyboard shortcuts only during PlexвЂ™s initial setup. You can use the mouse to drive Plex, but some actions (like going into full-screen mode for video playback) require a keyboard. You can use the mouse or your keyboardвЂ™s up- and down-arrow keys to select any menu item. When you first launch Plex, youвЂ™ll come to its home screen, which includes the main menu from there, you can select from Videos, Music, Pictures, Weather, and Scripts.

Mount the Plex disk image, and then drag and drop Plex into your Applications folder.

(A Mac mini or a MacBook is best you wonвЂ™t want an iMac or Mac Pro next to your TV.) And if you want to control Plex remotely from the couch, that Mac will have to be in the line of sight from your seat next to the television is the best spot.ДЇinally, youвЂ™ll need to download the latest release of Plex. But the Mac running the Plex software itself still needs to be connected to the TV. Plex can stream media from any other Mac (or Windows PC) on your home network, so the video files themselves can reside on any shared drive in the house. (The software does not run on PowerPC models or on Tiger.) You can use Plex either at your desk with a mouse and keyboard, or on a Mac-connected TV. To run Plex, youвЂ™ll need an Intel-based Mac running Leopard. Those caveats aside, if you want to play videos you didnвЂ™t get from the iTunes Store, Plex works great. And the Apple TV canвЂ™t play videos from your Plex libraries. Its handling of photos from iPhoto is less than smooth. It canвЂ™t play purchases from the iTunes Store.

Plex is more customizable than Front Row: you can add plug-in scripts to get features like YouTube integration, and install a custom skin to update its look-and-feel.ДЄll that said, Plex isnвЂ™t perfect. Plex has some handy informational widgets-a news ticker, a weather forecast, and system information-built in. Plex works with universal-remote controls, such as LogitechвЂ™s Harmony controllers, as well as the Apple Remote.

Plex can play large video files that are split up and packed into archives-such as RAR or ZIP files you might download from Usenet-without requiring that you extract them first. That means you could host your video collection on an old Mac or Windows PC stashed somewhere out of the way, and still watch it on the Mac in your living room, office, or bedroom. Plex can play media streamed from shared network drives.

9.Plex can play back a wider range of video and audio file formats than Front Row, including AVI, MPEG files youвЂ™ve downloaded via BitTorrent, FLV Flash files youвЂ™ve downloaded from YouTube, and Ogg Vorbis audio files.
