Plex on the other hand, I still can't work out fully. Always being able to get to the top level menu with the left arrow. Having menu go back, and play go forward - logical. I give it to my mum & dad, and they use it without any training. I can't say how much I hate the interface. Maybe because of all the extra features Plex has :-). I can't speak for why, but the performance is just not as quick as Boxee. This is really linked into the social list above (functionally anyway). It is great being able to see the last few shows I watched. That is a very nice feature of Boxee that is missing from Plex. I love seeing what my family have been watching, letting them see what new stuff I watched, so we can share. Plex on the other hand found it as "Tower of London (1939)" on the IMDB. Without having to use the complicated SnEn number type format.
#PLEX BOXEE SERIES#
"Comedy/Goodies/Tower of London.mp4" - and it worked out that it was the Goodies and which episode, series etc. Why? Boxee picked up and organised all my TV shows (90% accuracy at least) and even found all of my obscurely named goodies episodes, e.g. Plex requires TV shows to be stored separately. But I am sure they are doing the same source - what is the difference - not sure? Zero TV matching Yes that is bad, maybe my collection is a little esoteric. My estimate, from a random selection, is that Boxeee got over 90% of my titles matched correctly, while Plex receives a score closer to 60%. But Plex found "The Indian in the cupboard". I search for "Le placard" in the IMDB and it is the first link. The movies are all put into folders by Genre, and then just names, such as "Le placard".
#PLEX BOXEE MOVIE#
My online movie collection is approaching a decade. Many of these are done by comparing them with Boxee, or my default setup. Remembering where you last played from - I often find I am switching movies (adult to kids for example and back again).Easy manipulation of sound sync (I only had one film I needed to do it on, but it was worth it).Genre, Actor, Directory and other groupings of Movies - brilliant.Ability to select thumbnail & background.The high resolution background graphics - VERY nice !.Then, thanks to Screencasts Online I looked into Plex. It has been a great pleasure, but there is some pretty basic features missing from it, which you can find on my Boxee page. I turned to Boxee after hearing good things from Geek Brief TV. Which really requires a keyboard and mouse. The missing link has always been treating it like a real media centre - large fonts you can read, using a remote control. It is a first generation intel core duo and has been playing HD and live streaming for years (even over my ADSL 1, albeit 8000 kbs link). I have been using my Mac Mini for over 2 years as a media centre.
