Right on, I'll update that way...
I tried running just the one command line but terminal says command not found. Should i run the first two lines as well?
Hey Saskwatch, how are you using the air video app with this? Isnt air video one way only?
I had to chmod +x install_airplayer_plex.sh first. I updated airplayer but recorded video from my ipad still can’t be played. It plays about 1 second and it stops.
Ah well… I’m sure it’ll work it self out as all of this goes. I’m very content with how all this stuff is working with each other. Thanks again dudes for helping me out.
Well, you can only run the one line if you keep a copy of the command around, already made executable. No magic involved here. 
Magic to me, I’m still learning all these command lines. I don’t even really know what you mean by making it into an executable. Like a script but saving it as an app?
Off topic I just installed sadun’s air player and it’s great. But it won’t stream YouTube videos. It will stream videos recorded on the iPad. But it’s vice versa on plex… YouTube yes, recorded video no. Weird.
FYI, I can’t get anything from the iPad Discovery Channel app to stream to it. A brief flash of it trying to buffer something, and then nothing. Does this possibly go back to the lack of .m3u support in Plex?
I assume we’re never going to get said support, since this is all a hack. 
I have several sites that won’t play through this plugin unfortunately.
More disturbingly, I can’t seem to stream more than one video to Plex without freezing up Plex. Videos were being sent from an iPad 2, Youtube app. Received on Plex 0.9.2.5 with the latest AirPlayer. One video streams over fine with no issues. When sending the second one, the “Opening Stream” window appears and never proceeds. Plex is also unresponsive to closing this. Sometimes, we hear a quick fraction of a second of sound from the previous video. Force quit Plex and relaunch, and all is well with the same video. Next video, repeat.
Seems a little strange to me, but hopefully something in there gives you an “aha - that sounds like xxx is blocking the yyy and can be addressed with zzz”.
Hey diamond … quick question. I want to use your script to install airplayer for XBMC. I was looking over it and would it be as simple as changing the airplayer directory to something like airplayerxbmc and I see “3000” in there somewhere. Im assuming that’s the port for Plex which I can change to the port of XBMC. What about the org.pwiddershoven.airplayer? Should I change the name of that too? I don’t want to screw up my existing airplayer setup.
Edit: Changing it in the script I meant…
Thanks
So I’m trying to have two separate airplayers installed. The first with plex is running fine. I manually installed the second and renamed it airplayerXBMC for the .py, .plist and log files. Ran all the permission from the Github installation instructions. No errors came up. But when I tried to test it as a foreground I got this.
2011-03-29 02:08:39 [INFO] Starting Airplayer

I kinda understand this… does this mean I can only have 1 Airplayer running at a time?
Thanks
EDIT:
Duh, I had to change the Airplayer port. Now let’s see if the launch script works. Yay
Just to say I'm seeing the exact same issue, have to force quit Plex after each video...
How do we ensure we have the most up to date version? How do I update in the future?
Also, used Airflick on my MacBook Pro with Plex, it is awesome. m4v streamed with no problem. HD mov needed buffer time but worked.
Is it possible to use this script to run in the background of any Mac and use it to Airplay to Quicktime Player or some other app besides Plex?
Instead of using Erica’s Airplayer app, the script would be hidden, running in the background.
No, this talks directly to Plex. It does not integrate into any non-XBMC-based program.
This was [already covered](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/20950-airplay-plugin-for-plex/page__view__findpost__p__156291) on the previous page.
Is there an uninstall script for the new install method - or do you just install like it says on github?
Yes, it [has a remove option](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/20950-airplay-plugin-for-plex/page__view__findpost__p__153267) if you need it. Remember, this is unofficial and has no connection to the instructions on GitHub or Erica Sadun's project. It's just a simple way of installing their work.
I must be missing something. I got everything installed and running. “Airplayer started” shows up in Plex and I hear a bunch of beeps. The computer shows up on my iPhone in the device list but when I select it the video doesn’t play and the time bar up top doesn’t move. These are the terminal logs:
2011-03-30 00:05:24 [INFO] Starting Airplayer

Any ideas? I feel like I’m missing a step.
Is Airplayer working properly with 4.3 and 4.3.1? Are there any general issues with Plex?
Does the script uninstall pip too? I ask to ensure it removes Airplayer completely with any traces and logs to try it out on other computers.
Does the script prepare the configuration to work with Plex? (port, name)
Thank you for the install script - this makes it easy to install, update and uninstall.
It does not uninstall pip, as there’s no way to know if you had that installed for some other purpose. It also does not remove the log as that may still be needed for troubleshooting. Everything else should be gone.
Makes sense. So I have to figure out to remove the log and pip manually. The log is easy but I haven’t found the command to undo easyinstall pip. It’s not a big deal but I want to keep others computers clean if they just want to try this.
