New Plex Remote for the iPhone
Thursday, April 21, 2009 - 11:51 AM EST
Posted by: Brian

Aargh-a-Knot, a member of the forums, has created a hot new Plex remote for the iPhone. In fact, I think it has been the talk of our Mac mini HTPC forum for about the last week. Why you might ask? Well, it's probably one of the best looking and most functional remotes around for controlling the Plex media center on your iPhone. He actually created the remote using the Snatch trackpad and remote application for the iPhone, which received a major update to version 3.0 earlier this month. This version of the application makes it possible for users to save and load remote layouts to and from their desktop, and install pre-made remotes downloaded from the Snatch website. They currently have remotes available for Plex, EyeTV, Front Row and Windows Media Center, as well as a numeric keypad for your Mac.

If you're interested in learning more about Aargh-a-Knot's remote for Plex, I suggest that you head on over to his website. He just posted a new article explaining how to install and use the remote in greater detail. All you really need is the Snatch application running on your iPhone or iPod touch and the Snatch Server running on your Mac. He'll walk you through the rest.

The Right Amplifier For Your Auto Sound System

Setting about to find the best Amplifier for your sound system could be a whole lot simpler if you just dedicate sometime before hand to learn what is best for you and will perform best with your type of car, truck or SUV's audio system. It's worthwhile to learn about the functions of an Amplifier for you to make an informed purchase; the major function of an Amplifier

is that is receives small sound signal from your auto sound system and increases it to produce louder sound. This means that the more powerful your Amplifier, the more exceptional quality sound it produces. A lesser-powered Amplifier will therefore have a weak, thin sound that is quite unappealing in any auto sound system and most other sound system as well.
It is also worth mentioning that power rating of an Amplifier is determined by the utmost power it's able to expend and not by it's regular usage amount. RMS rating is a good indicator of an Amplifier power output. Another thing to consider is that never purchase an Amplifier based only on RMS rating or maximum output. This number can be remarkably misleading in Amplifier purchse.If your preference is towards a thumping driving bass beat, then ensure that your Amplifier is equipped with a bass boost button. Such a button will be a plus in giving you a bass boost. I sure believe this is a must have to most bass lovers. Not every Amplifier is equipped with this, so shop smart in accordance to your likes.
Amplifiers are essentially divided into four main classes (but of course, there are many more classes, though mostly uncommon, so I will not dwell much on defining them) which represent excellent quality you ought to expect from the system.
A) 1. This is a class with amazing production of superior sound, but the down side is that it wastes large amount of energy in producing that good quality sound.
B) 2. This class is somewhat better than 1 as far as energy consumption is concerned, but it is a bit worse as it produces lesser quality sound.
C) 1/2. This is like a cross-breed between 1 and 2 because energy and sound wastage depends on the volume. Low volumes will use the class 1 attribute of the Amplifier while higher volumes are more in maintaining with class 2.
D) 3. This is mostly decent in producing good quality bass sound and nothing more. The quantity of sound and energy wastage is both moderate and is neither very impressive.
This is of course a skeleton run through most of the core amplifier basics. It is also worth noting that a score of people these days talk of amplifiers as just Amps, instead of fully pronouncing the entire word Am-pl-i-fi-er, maybe it's too long for most folks or just a hype. It's probably a slang widely accepted that no one would blink an eye if you utter it. Infact if you go the so-called old way and call it AMPLIFIER, don't be surprised if you get funny looks. Despite of all these, Amplifiers aren't the end to all that would be of an automobile sound system. its necessity is determined by you the consumer, because as a matter of fact most audio sound system work well, minus the extras like an amplifier that only serves to justify the price raise.
A decision to buy an Amplifier for your latest auto sound system, truck or SUV is at one moment filled with excitement and exhilaration, because this is habitually a decision that you have introspected over time. This same excitement can result to fear at later stage, due to the absence of clarity in what you truly need. I presume that this has at least gone a distance in informing your decision on whether or not to purchase an Amplifier, and if your answer happens to fall in the affirmative, you will ultimately make an informed decision prior to purchase.

Why We Love Our Home Theaters

Beyond the obvious “cool” factor, why exactly do we own home theaters? Convenience, sure. Your own “theater” ready when you are. But isn’t it really about being able to fall into a movie, become absorbed, taken away for a while, the “suspension of disbelief”? And these days, it’s getting harder and harder to tolerate the experience of a commercial movie theater, largely because so many things can interfere with that “suspension of disbelief”.

Here’s a short list of what commercial theaters do wrong, that home theaters do right:

1. The cost. OK, truth be told, it is actually cheaper to go to the theater than to buy a really high-end home theater. But on a per-event basis, $10 or more for a ticket to a show is pretty high, especially when they expect you to also buy the most expensive food in the world – popcorn! Anyone ever figure out exactly what that big bucket costs? It’s worth about 25 cents, but you paid $6 or more for it. And it’s ever so chewy, slathered with all that imitation butter. What do you get at home? Really fresh popcorn you just microwaved, with real melted butter. No sour after-taste there. Yes, if you divide the cost of your HT system up by each movie you see, it is more costly, but isn’t it worth it?

2. Trailers by choice. Not in the theater, though. You are told the film starts at 8, but really it’s more like 8:15, after you get force-fed the trailers, ads, and two or three warnings to turn off your cell phone, which you do of course, but that idiot behind you is living a highly important life, and needs his left on, ringer and all.

3. Picture quality. Oh, you say, your home theater will never have a screen that size. True, the size is impressive, though if you watch a plasma screen, you may actually see a better contrast ratio, and a brighter picture. But in a theater, equally impressive are the stains on the screen, the drink straw stuffed into one of the screen perforations, and the seam down the middle. You may not be treated to all these visual amenities at every theater, and hopefully not all at the same time, but there’s usually something to distract. Perhaps it’s the exit sign lighting up the screen, or the bad framing. Or focus, though that one’s so basic it should simply NEVER happen, but does. How about the low-rez digital projection of the ads before the show? 1080p it ain’t. Not even 720p. The last one we saw was probably 480p, with some scaling, but mid-theater seats could clearly see every pixel. And it was dim, and washed out. Yes, it was only the pre-show "ads", but come on, guys. This is a "professional" theater, isn't it?

4. Sound quality. Yes, again, size matters. But it’s only one part of the story. There’s usually something to annoy everyone; the blown woofers, defective tweeters, fried subwoofers, and out of balance surrounds, or missing channels. Yes, even the all-important center speaker is often damaged. The last show we went to added a sharp snapping click every half second or so, all through the film. Complaining did no good, their alternative was to “bypass the system”, and play the track in mono, with no noise reduction, resulting in lifeless, compressed, non-dynamic sound. State of the art, circa 1940. Thanks, but I’ll just live with the ticks. And we did. Sort of. It took three chats with the manager. Talk about getting pulled out of the film. Not at home, though. Sound will be predictable, consistent, and adjustable by you should you need more or less.

5. Do you dash to make the show on time, or just push “start” when you’re ready? The best theaters around here are at least 15 minutes drive away, then perhaps a wait in line, a wait in the concession line, then you sit through the above mentioned inane trailers, then you watch what you paid to see. At home, you sit down, relax, and start the show at 8:23, or whatever time you are ready for it. Oh, and if the worst happens, and you need to take a break, you can, and never miss a single frame.

Our family paid $30 to see Star Trek at the Yorktown Theaters, Lombard, IL, and put up with bad sound for the entire feature. One of us paid even more per ticket to see the same film at the Navy Pier IMAX theater, replete with a bad subwoofer, and low volume. When we stay home and pop in a disc, none of that happens. We just watch the film undistracted, uninterrupted, and when we want.

Need more reasons to own a Home Theater? Just go out and see a movie, you’ll have your own list in no time.

New Plex Plugins Released

A new series of plugins from Plex has been released. Click here for the official link, or read below.

As we fix some of the bugs that slipped into the first release of Plex/Eight, we thought we’d offer up some new content for you to enjoy. The very cool thing about this batch of plug-ins is that they have been created almost entirely by the Plex community!

First up is I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER written by Bart Dorsey, a plug-in that we’ve all been loving. It allows you to browse pictures from a huge selection of funny sites like the Fail Blog, Pundit Kitchen, and of course the eponymous site itself.

Next up, great for the kiddies, is Sesame Street. Written by Beowulfe, it gives you access to hundreds of short videos from years of the show.

Written by one of our most prolific plug-in authors, Gordon Johnston, Llewtube provides access to content from Robert Llewellyn’s Car Pool video blog. Robert (of Red Dwarf fame), has taken to driving around with interesting people and filming the whole thing.

Written by Brad Dolman, Tripleman is a photo blog from a Vancouver photographer.

This next plug-in, written by pygmalion (great job!), provides HD content from fxguide, which is a leading site covering visual effects in filmmaking. They’re all streamed at 720p, professionally produced, and have great content; for example, the most recent one features an interview with J.J. Abrams.

This was requested on the forums; the Bill Moyers Journal has lots of great content, including thought-provoking interviews and discussions.

Lastly, I tossed together a quick plug-in for Adam Carolla’s podcast.

Additionally, a few plug-ins were updated. Rick Fletcher finished a brilliant update to his Major League Baseball plug-in which now provides access to MLB.TV. Rick has really pushed the envelope with this plug-in, and we had to add some new Media Server features to make this plug-in work.

I also pushed a minor update to the NPR plug-in which provides much better metadata so that it looks better in the Now Playing window.

There are a lot more plug-ins in the works (some nearly done), so expect a new batch pushed to the App Store in the next few weeks.

One last note: The plug-in authors should check the released versions, as they may include minor changes or fixes.
