I got my WDTV Live yesterday (UK), and so far have found it quite pleasing
My System
iMac 2.4ghz, running Lion
O2 (provider) router downstairs,
WDTV box
Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma
I tried with the PS3Server software and while it was good, didnt ‘look’ too great. The I installed Plex.
Wow, the difference is unreal. I like the thumbnails etc, and more choice of genre and things like that.
Now, having seen all that, I log on here and get TOTALLY blown away. Where do I start?
I don’t want to change HOW i stream my files, but I’d love to have it LOOKING better.
So, where do I start, what do I do? I would like a nice swish interface that still uses Plex (unless there’s a better alternative) and delivers the experience I am seeing from Mojo, Black Mamba et al.
You can use Themes on Streaming Media Players. Check in the individual theme threads if a Hub theme is compatible with the SMP e.g. I use Black Mamba 1.5 which is a Hub theme quite succsufully on an SMP.
There are also Theme discussion areas under the SMP listing e.g. Mojo and darklight by Tinwarble
Make sure that you follow installation and configurations to the letter as so many questions are raised by people who skip/ignore/forget to do that.
Note that the initial install instructions for an SMP theme require that the theme is loaded via the devices web-interface.
I am running Plex Server on my Mac mini. How ever my WD TV live does not pick it up. It used to, and then one day for no reason that I can think of, it stopped seeing my Plex Server. Please help
