Plex gets Netflix integration (with Silverlight)

Thu, 04/09/2009 - 5:42am — Seth Weintraub

Plex, everyone's favorite mediacenter for Macintosh, just got a little more awesome today with a new Netflix application that looks perhaps better that the Roku box that Netflix itself sells. The Netflix App can be downloaded for free from the Plex store but does require the Silverlight plugin (Netflix requires this, not Plex). Make sure you have the latest version of Plex running before installing this one.

Great work on this one guys! (more pix below)

Your first link is bad, dear 9to5mac. The correct one is http://www.plexapp.com/. Not Plex.app.

thanks fleshman

haha. I get that a lot. It was an AOL/AIM old screen name from the 90's that is a deviation from my name. It just kind of has stuck with me.

HA!

Well, now that I can rent HD content in itunes and watch hulu/CBS/Netflix/youtube/etc from Plex, my appletv is looking less and less useful. I absolutely love Plex as a simple media front end - the new streaming integration may just be the tipping point to push me to replace my atv with an old MB or mini.

'course now I have to convince the wife it's necessary.
