Just downloaded as I was having terrible playback issues for 1080p 3D Blu-ray rips (mkv) on my late 2010 11 inch MBA 1.4Ghz 2GB model. I was about to give up and resort burning the files to a Blu-Ray disc when I saw the thread discussing 1080p playback and that Plex has the best results.

Wow, not only does it play back flawlessly, but the Plex environment is great! :eek:

I downloaded Rowmote too and it has changed the game completely:cool:

Next is getting the Plex menu system to work well when having the 3D SBS enabled on the TV.

:DThat will be awesome:D

I've been using Plex for several weeks and find it extremely helpful for managing and playing my movie and TV collection. Just today I explored the free streaming content available..... it's quite extensive.

What is the best remote control app for it?

The Plex App is probably best, but I couldn't find much about it.

I control Plex with an Apple Wireless Keyboard connected to a Mac mini, which is the server for my videos. I'm not sure what you mean by a remote control app for it. Did you read the info at the Plex website?
