Tried Plex for the first time and have some issues. The Plex icon in my applications folder has a circle with a line through it, yet the icon comes out normal if I move it to my desktop or dock. Plex has incorrectly named some of my movies and is not show most of my music. I can't figure out how to tell Plex where my other videos are located. The instructions for Plex are confusing and the video instructions refer to videos that are not there. Also, is there no way to control Plex via my iPhone. I had though maybe the Apple Remote App would work but it didn't.

Not really getting all the hype about Plex, seemed like Front Row was so much easier.
 
Okay so all of a sudden the Plex icon in my Applications folds fixed itself. Still can't get any of my homemade videos to be named correctly, they are showing as main stream movie titles. I also tried using the Air Mouse iPhone app to control Plex, which partly works but still a pain.
