Time for an update show this week, with updates to some of our favourite apps!

Plex - We've covered Plex many times for managing recorded media, but now you can watch and record Live "off the air" TV with the addition of a hardware tuner. This segment describes what you need and demonstrates how easy it is to configure.

iWork - After recently finishing a series of update shows for Pages, Numbers and Keynote, Apple have just released a slew of updates - some minor, some quite significant. Learn all about them with this latest update segment.

The third and final Plex instalment. Following on from the previous Plex episodes, I take a further look at some of the benefits of a full Plex Pass subscription.

Following on from the previous Plex episode [SCOM0531] I take a look at the Photos and Music Libraries in the free versions of Plex.

Whilst Plex is more commonly known for allowing you to manage and view Movies and TV Shows, it's also very capable of managing Photo collections and Music libraries.

With the advent of the Plex Apple TV app, Plex has suddenly become hugely popular with the Mac community.

Use Plex to organise, play and share your local media library.

Plex is a complete solution for local and online media.

In this show I take you through some of the more advanced configuration options of the Plex Media Server as well as looking at the optional PlexConnect installation on your Mac. PlexConnect allows you to access your Plex Media Server from your Apple TV , without jailbraking your Apple TV.

If you take the plunge and go down the PlexConnect route, this show demonstrates what you might see on your Apple TV.

In addition, although not based on iOS, I give you a quick demo of what Plex looks like on a Roku3 box, just for the lolz ;-)

Plex is a complete solution for local and online media. It's been a couple of years since I abandoned Plex and stuck with a rigid 100% Apple solution for my media playback, the main issue being playing content on the AppleTV.

However, recent developments in the Plex ecosystem has caused my to re-evaluate my stance and convinced me to return to Plex. Boy, has it changed and improved! Plus, it's now possible to configure your Apple TV to access your Plex Library, along with virtually every other device.

In this show, I take you through digitising personal media such as DVDs and Blu-Rays in preparation for creating your digital media library in Plex. I also demonstrate installing the Plex Media Server, and take a brief look at configuring your Plex Media Server and using various clients for playback.

Plex is a complete solution for local and online media. Following on from this week's Mac show, I demonstrate the capabilities of the Plex App for iOS.

As a universal app, it works on the iPad, iiPhone and iPod touch, allowing you to access and stream media from your pled Media Library. With the addition of a PlexPass subscription, you can even sync media from your Plex Media Library, direct to your iOS device for offline viewing.

Add in a free myPlex account, and access your Plex Media Library remotely across Wifi or Cellular.

It also acts as a remote for your Desktop media player.

What a week!

New iPods, New iTunes 10 and even a new Apple TV, all announced at Apples special ""Music"" event on September 1st.

However, a couple of days before Apple's announcements, a much smaller group of enthusiastic individuals made their own announcement. A new version of Plex had been launched - Plex/Nine - an amazing Media Center for Mac OS X and iOS.

This week’s show takes you through this stunning free media center software and demonstrates how to install and configure on your Mac.
