Plex Laika!

For you home theater PC people out there there is a new version of the Plex Media player and Plex Media Server out and I have to say it’s awesome.  Hands down it puts Plex out in front as the best HTPC solution available.  There way too many new features to go into here.  Go read their blog post about it.

The highlights for me are:

• Seamless media viewing and sharing among clients (OS X, Windows 7, iOS, Android and several other smart TVs and DVD players.).
• Seamless media sharing between friends using the new MyPlex cloud based service.
• Many plugins for third party media providers like TWiT, Revision 3, TED, etc…

Besides all the new bells and whistles they have fixed my major problem on the OS X platform, video and audio sync.  With this release I am ready to say good bye to XBMC and Boxee.

Great job guys, it’s been worth the wait for a new version.  Keep up the great work!

Keep in mind, it’s still beta/pre-release software so it’s a bit buggy, but overall pretty solid.
