The secret is to name the files correctly - this helpful page details the process, and though it may be tiresome, it does result in a beautifully unified media collection rather than a mess of folders. One thing that always annoyed me about media center systems in the past has been how utterly incapable they seem to be of identifying my eclectic collection and gathering the appropriate covers / metadata. I've made a little diagram to help explain this: Since Plex is essentially a fork of the XBMC app, there is very little difference in the client/player side of things.īoth Mac and Windows Plex Media Servers can send data to the mobile clients (obviously, there is no media server for mobile devices). To view your media on the Windows side of things, you can use a Plex plugin.
#Media server app for mac for mac
Plex produces a media server and client app for Mac OsX, however there is only a server app for Windows currently available. If you read through and decide you'd rather check out some of the alternatives, have a look at Bakari's round of streaming and converter apps for OsX, Tim's collection of linux-based media center distros, or Justin's list of TV-ready media centre apps last month. If you're looking for a single solution as both a media center and server, then read on - this *is* the Media Center app you've been looking for your whole life.
Plex is widely regarded by many as being the best media player, manager and streaming application around - available for both Windows, Mac and even mobiles (though the mobile apps are not free).
