Confirmed the file is located at /Applications/plexexport/plex-data this is how it came when downloaded. Also, just to make sure I had the latest download I re-downloaded the latest version but I'm still getting the same results.....any ideas? Thanks ---

I've released a new version so if you download that it will let you export. Sorry about all the trouble you've had. ---

So I just installed it and got it working. Looks great. Impressed by how quickly it shows the images as I scroll through 500 movies. I saw an earlier post about it showing all the file sizes as 2GB. I have that same issue. I don’t think I have any files that are less than 2GB so not sure what would happen in that case. ---

> [@](#): > > @AdamH: Make sure you execute the file as PHP i.e. in Terminal type "php cli.php" (without the quotes) rather than just cli.php. Otherwise Terminal will attempt to execute the file as if it were a bash script. > > > > @daa: do you have GD enabled in PHP? To test, make a file on the server your using e.g. test.php, in it enter: \, and run it. If you scroll down there is a section entitled GD which will state whether it's enabled or not. Not an issue for you, I apparently don't have GD installed on the laptop, and attempts at doing so far have not been successful. But cli.php does work on the server machine where GD is installed. ---

@Dachande663 thanks for all your work on this. It looks great. If I wanted to let someone browse my library using this how would I go about doing that? ---

Wow, this is great! Thanks a lot. I don’t like the (non)security features of php5, so I disabled it afterwards. Thanks a lot all. ---

This is really well done! Love the way everything looks! Also great usage of CSS! It’s easy to customize it to my liking.
