Hi there, I´ve tried the Plex Plugin kickstart thing… And considering that I am a total newbie on this I am not getting this thing to work… Here´s what I´ve done: Followed the instructions in the Kick-start manual and added a Youtube-user. Installed the plugin in my Plex Windows Media Server. But when I am trying to use it thru my LG TV it doesnt work… Is there anything that I can do to make this work? Since I´ve done the 1-2-3-guide, and still it doesn´t work… What can I do? regards ---

Can you be more specific about what’s not working? Does the plugin show up for you to select on the TV? If so, what part(s) don’t work? Navigation, video, etc. ---

Navigation, video, etc. The plug in shows up, and the navigation works smooth, but when playing back the video it doesn´t work... Error message shows up... any thoughts? Not much to work with, I know... but... ---

Chrissie + Mikedm139, I have the same problem. I tried making a plugin using the kickstart. I made mine with a youtube user’s name. All of the videos under that user show up fine, but when I try to play them I get " error, could not determine input format" here is the .bundle file if anyone is interested.

Hi, Sorry this is a know issue with the kickstarter and a fix has been put in place but never pushed to the site, it must have fell off the radar. I will make sure this gets fixed asap. Sorry for the inconvenience, my sincere apologies. ---

a fix should have been pushed but I have not had a chance to try it out from the server (although I wrote it a long time ago and tested it locally on my machine 🙂 ) Please let me know ---

Now it works… Decent… I can get it going, but after a while, after the second or third time I start it, it just doesn´t start anymore. It´s just buffering and nothing is happening. Is there any reason for this? I have an LG-TV, Plex Windows Media Server on a PC with Quad-proccessor. 100M/bit internet and cabled between computer and tv… So… any thoughts? regards ---
