Announcing Plex for Windows 8!
As you may already know, we're huge fans of the Microsoft Windows 8 (née Metro) interface. We had a ton of fun writing the Plex app for Windows Phone 7, so when Windows 8 was released, we wasted no time in working to bring you a first class native application for the platform. We'd like to give you a quick visual overview, and then invite you to download it; it's live in the Windows Store right now, at an introductory price of just $2.99!
I love the home screen for Plex on Windows 8. In my mind it's a perfect amalgam of many of the visual idioms we've been exploring on many of the different Plex apps, but at the same time it looks like a (very lovely) completely native Windows 8 app. It's got a background art slideshow, a gorgeous On Deck section, your myPlex queue, and much more.
The library areas will look familiar to those who have used the Windows Phone 7 app, as well as Plex/Web.
Note also that we've brought the incredibly powerful filtering system that first appeared in Plex/Web over to the Windows 8 app. It would not be a stretch to say that it'll make its way to other Plex apps over time.
That's just a quick overview, but I hope it conveys the love we've brought to this new platform. Let us know what you think!

Here come the paid apps and subscription fees…
Asad Raza December 4th, 2012 8:09 pm
wow this is so cool. i've been waiting for it since day 1
Omar December 4th, 2012 8:09 pm
Great effort by plex team !
Ahmad alrasheed December 4th, 2012 8:12 pm
Testing it right now -
Chris December 4th, 2012 8:22 pm
Awesome! Bought and running on my Windows 8 machines already.
Are we likely to see remote control functionality built into this, like on the iPad/iPhone/WP7 apps?
diamondsw December 4th, 2012 8:30 pm
Dammit, don't make me envious of Windows.
Wutname1 December 4th, 2012 8:35 pm
While i love that you put a app up in the Store I have 1 Major issue with this version of the client.
No Keyboard support. This means it is useless for my media center that is controlled with a remote. Is there any hope of a update in the future that will make this usable for me? Can really tell this was meant for Win 8 Touch devices.
Nick December 4th, 2012 8:48 pm
Great guys,
Keep innovating I support you so the rest should do
Øyvind Thoresen December 4th, 2012 9:00 pm
Fantastic. Love ein 8
Brainfrz December 4th, 2012 9:01 pm
Though i have my doubts about the metro interface for desktop use, i really like it on my xbox and the tablets i've seen around. You however brought it to a whole new level
Is there any way to port this one to other clients as well? (like the mac client pretty please? )
Christopher Demicoli December 4th, 2012 9:05 pm
Holy shit this is sexy! Can't wait to go home so I try it
John December 4th, 2012 9:22 pm
Great! Will buy it tonight.
Farid December 4th, 2012 9:25 pm
That looks lovely !
Now, I want Plex for PSVita ! You should start a kickstarter for that :p -
MTII December 4th, 2012 9:27 pm
Looks great (although I'll probably never get a Windows device myself)
Jeff December 4th, 2012 9:32 pm
Is something similar coming to OS X? Makes the Mac version look a bit tired.
Craig Taylor December 4th, 2012 9:35 pm
Wow! Looks like excellent work. I look forward to building a Media Centre to try it out tonight.
Question though: why the change of charging strategy for a desktop platform app? Seems odd that you're monetizing the Windows 8 app, but not the Windows 7 and OSX applications?
NicoSavides December 4th, 2012 10:03 pm
I just bought the app and I am a bit disapointed so far
It seems that file directplay does not take in account installed codecs on the PC. (or it's not working correctly)
In the end almost all my files have to be transcoded even on my local network… which doesn't work well for me as I am using a NAS as server with limited CPU capacity.Any chance this will be fixed to have files directly played when local codecs are installed?
for now I think I'll stay with the windows client…
Christian December 4th, 2012 10:11 pm
Looks very nice!
But i hope thats not the beginning of the end of the Mac client… :-/ -
elan December 4th, 2012 10:14 pm
@Christian: Only if you're reformatting your Mac Mini and installing Windows 8 :-p
Ernesto December 4th, 2012 10:16 pm
I don't understand the differences between "normal" Plex and Plex for Windows 8 because of the different monetizing strategy.
I've bought Plex for WP7, iOS and Android and I don't have any W8 machine so I'm not complaining.
elan December 4th, 2012 10:17 pm
@NicoSavides: We'll definitely improve it over time, we're learning the platform as we go. You're absolutely right, it doesn't take into account installed codec packs. However, if we can't figure out a way to bundle codecs or detect those which are already installed, we'll give you advanced preferences to specify which ones are installed, *assuming* the environment supports that.
swiffer December 4th, 2012 10:18 pm
read this post, and purchased the app from windows store directly. everytime i use plex there is some new functionality availeable. Keep on innovating the way to browse, manage, share and play media files! Your rock!
elan December 4th, 2012 10:18 pm
@Ernesto: for one, the Windows 8 app will work exceptionally well on a tablet, whereas the "home theater" Laika desktop app will not
Jay Tyler December 4th, 2012 10:26 pm
How come on screenshots 1, 3 and 4 the images are aligned to the left of the Plex logo but on screenshot 2 they are not?
paulcart December 4th, 2012 10:33 pm
Any chance this means an updated Windows Phone 8 app is on its way soon?
Jansink December 4th, 2012 10:36 pm
Great to see all this great Plex development. All cool new features, platforms etc, thanks for that!
My only big concern is that the Plex Client for Mac is left behind and is forgotten…. There was no update for a long time, even no news of an upcoming update. I think it is getting a bit of an oldy, but it is the client I (and I believe many others) use the most… Any news to take away my concerns? -
elan December 4th, 2012 10:37 pm
@Jansink: We're working on an update I use it nightly myself.
Christian December 4th, 2012 10:38 pm
Ok, good to hear
The Laika client is fantastic. But some improvements and new cool stuff would be great -
elan December 4th, 2012 10:39 pm
@Jay: Because screenshot 2 is what you see when you scroll screenshot 1 over to the left?
Rich December 4th, 2012 11:01 pm
Can you PLEASE stop neglecting the osx client? The main reason I bought the ios apps was to show my support, now I think you're forgotten about osx because you aren't making $ off it.
Aleksandar December 4th, 2012 11:04 pm
Great work. Thanks
Will be nice for my gaming rig. But more important: Is this App compatible with Win8 RT (Surface tablet)?
Jeff December 4th, 2012 11:09 pm
Still disappointed that Windows version has now leapfrogged the Mac version, particularly as a Pass member. I hope this isn't going to be the case ongoing. Too many apps where Mac users feel like the poor relations.
elan December 4th, 2012 11:10 pm
@Jeff: Almost all of us have Macs and run Laika in the living room. I wouldn't stress too much
elan December 4th, 2012 11:11 pm
@Aleksandar: Hells yeah, works great on a Surface.
elan December 4th, 2012 11:12 pm
@Rich: not true at all, all of us use it, and we're working on an update but as you know, we're very secretive about such things and don't talk timelines
Rich December 4th, 2012 11:23 pm
@Elan That's awesome man. I just got a new Mini for the loungeroom primarily fir plex. On another note, as a teacher I used the web client to stream a documentary from my PMS at home. The kids lived it. Thanks gang
Sergio December 4th, 2012 11:26 pm
Based on the a-client-everywhere vision of yours a new killer-killer-killer feature will be a raspberry pi client!
I'll even pay for that (and Im a lifetime plexpass member).
Jansink December 4th, 2012 11:29 pm
@Elan: Thanks for the update about the Mac client. As a plexpass member I hope we members can get some nightly type of release sometime soon!
Rich December 4th, 2012 11:32 pm
Loved it too. (It was to the Smartboard).
paul December 4th, 2012 11:42 pm
Very nice… although I'm not a fan of w8, I wished Plex for Mac looked this fresh…
rogerveijk December 4th, 2012 11:43 pm
Just want to let you guys know, in my opinion you're really on the right track. A broader support of platforms would certainly attract more and more users, what leads to a larger community. (With hopefully more genius people for better and more plug-ins)
Maybe you can offer the new Mac client in the Mac App store, which will lead to free publicity and attacks a whole new group of users which never heard about Plex. (But please, don't make it a App store only)
Oh and don't hesitate to ask money for your services, good products come with a price. But keep in mind that you don't make the entrance barrier to high.
Great work!
Sergio December 4th, 2012 11:55 pm
The shoot-everywhere monetization strategy is not looking good, IMHO.
1st – hardware parters! 2nd – and mobile apps too! 3rd – no, a premier beta thing! 4(?) – now desktop clients too!Decide guys. You have a winner in your hands, the money will come.
Chris December 5th, 2012 12:00 am
Will people PLEASE STOP pissing and moaning about Plex having paid aspects.
Firstly: The majority of Plex is FREE and has been for THE ENTIRETY OF ITS EXISTENCE. Which must be coming up to almost 6-8 years, right?
Secondly: The stuff you pay for is CHEAP FOR WHAT YOU GET. I would pay for Plex a million times over for the amount of pleasure it gives me and my media centre experience. Excluding PlexPass, very quick and rough off-the-top-of-my-head maths puts the total of all the Plex apps available to buy at less than $15.
Thirdly: Stop complaining. Just stop. NO.
Fourthly: Thanks Elan. We love Plex, and so do the moaners, secretly
tobias December 5th, 2012 12:43 am
@Sergio: We see the Windows 8 app primarily as a mobile app (tablet/phone), also the Media Center and the new Plex/Web clients are free. I don't think this breaks the earlier formula, except the fact that you CAN use it on the desktop as well.
Jeff December 5th, 2012 12:57 am
@tobias: Maybe this points up the confusion that MS is generating with Windows 8. I guess you could possibly need 2 Windows 8 apps, one for touch screen tablets and one for remote controlled HDMI attached PCs.
RckStr December 5th, 2012 1:32 am
So i take it this client doesnt use ffmpg which imo is a good thing, so long you've created your own player. If its a desktop client that relies on PMS transcoding in order to work, im not sure how great I think this is.
Arnaud December 5th, 2012 2:16 am
Nice application!
Is-there any support (or planned support) for subtitle in this windows 8 application ?
Neil B December 5th, 2012 3:48 am
If I pay for the Windows 8 app, IOS app and the android app do I get premium membership? hahahah
This will be the 3rd time I have bought the different apps.
Adam December 5th, 2012 3:49 am
Best $3 I will ever spend.
Jeffrey December 5th, 2012 4:43 am
I use Plex Media Server v0.9.7.7 on PC, and ALREADY buy plex client app from windows 8 store. Plex APP can't show UTF-8(Big-5) subtiltle, but it's ok to show subtitle on iPAD2. It's the same problem on windows phone 7 and I also brought the app. It's a BIG and existed long time problem. Please fix the subtitles issue.
Johannes December 5th, 2012 4:48 am
I like the W8 App, it looks really great.
I cannot seem to get subtitles working, so I assume they are not supported yet. Will this be added later?Another feature I like of the desktop client is the per-category on deck. Will you add different "views" (ie. on deck, all series,etc) to the categories?
Jeffrey December 5th, 2012 4:50 am
Again. It's delay on Windows 8 app. I pay money to buy your app, and no trial period. It's many issues on windows 8 app. I think it's some kind of cheating. I like Plex but the quility is really no good.
Ray December 5th, 2012 5:35 am
Now that you have the Win8 Metro app, any chance of a 360 app?
Taylor Gibb December 5th, 2012 5:48 am
This is awesome, i purchased it as soon as i read the title. One suggestion, remove the plex label from the tile, it looks very out of place and nearly overlaps the plex X logo.
David December 5th, 2012 6:09 am
I assume that the Windows 8 client doesn't use OpenGL. Is that correct? The Plex Media Centre's use of Open GL (via its xbmc heritgage) with it's high CPU use, high power consumption and high heat generation has always been a negative in my view.
I agree that keyboard support is critical, as is not needing to transcode.
Do you publish a roadmap? I'd like to know if this is slated to replace the Plex Media Center for windows.
Keep up the great work!
Marius December 5th, 2012 6:54 am
Looks good, and it is responsive and pretty smooth. BUT;
I can use 2 iOS clients simultaneously while playing a full HD movie on my 2 year old Mac Mini, and the cpu is around 80%. However, when using a SINGLE WINDOWS 8 APP it goes to 100%? What's up with that?
Rodalpho Carmichael December 5th, 2012 7:29 am
Is Plex for win8 full-featured, like the desktop clients? Can it run locally with no remote server? Remember win8 isn't just tablets and phones.
How does performance compare to the desktop client? It's presumably written in a much higher-level language, which tends to be slower.
Does it support remote controls, particularly the MCE remote?
Pauly December 5th, 2012 7:33 am
This apps works great on my Surface guys This really made my day. Been rocking Plex for over a year on my LG and its been great
Michael Schoneman December 5th, 2012 7:47 am
Doesn't seem to work if your Plex Media Server is on the same box.
Thabet December 5th, 2012 7:52 am
I downloaded the app, but it does not stream once I play, it takes at least 1 to 2 min to download the full stream from my NAS server and then it plays it.
when this will be fixed ?
Rodalpho Carmichael December 5th, 2012 8:04 am
@David: Recent versions of XBMC have "dirty regions" enabled by default. This feature skips rendering portions of the screen that haven't changed since the previous frame and basically fixes everything you're talking about.
According to a quick search PMC doesn't support this yet, but since Plex regularly pulls from XBMC it should have support sooner or later.
Winston December 5th, 2012 8:10 am
This looks great. Will it be ported to the 360 now that there is a metro app?
Will December 5th, 2012 8:28 am
Yeah, yeah, good, really nice but the important question here is… Where is Barkley?!
dogfish December 5th, 2012 8:32 am
purchased it amd it fails entirely to connect to the server which is installed on this box. not happy. desktop client works fine.
les December 5th, 2012 8:53 am
as a plex user for past 3 years, this is the best 3 dollar app i have ever bought. I only ask, how do u enable subtitles? i stream alot of my anime and it doesnt give me the option of changing language and subtitle. great job though guys
chander December 5th, 2012 9:25 am
So, next update for the osx client (since 2 years…) will be in the app store? But given the now clearly commercial way Plex has taken, forget about XBMC. It's a totally free and open source project and i'm sure plex devs will have the decency of not copying any single line of code. Isn't it?
tobias December 5th, 2012 9:35 am
No, next update of Plex Media Center will not be in the App Store. We publish all our code for the client on GitHub as required by the GPL and will continue to do so in the future.
bfodder December 5th, 2012 9:35 am
Will this be ported into a proper Windows Phone 8 app to replace the Windows Phone 7.5 app WP8 users are currently stuck with?
Chris December 5th, 2012 10:09 am
This app might work well on surface RT, but it doesn't work at all on a windows 8 desktop. It doesn't support hardware keyboard input, which is absurd, I had to log in to myplex by cutting and pasting my username and password. Even after logging it still can not connect to the server software, which is running on the same computer and working fine from plex media center and android tablet/phone. I was hoping for a UI update over media center, but it also needs to function…
Rodalpho Carmichael December 5th, 2012 10:24 am
@Chris: Well I guess that pretty much answers my questions about using it on a desktop. Hopefully you can get a refund somehow.
elan December 5th, 2012 10:40 am
@Chris: The hardware keyboard/mouse work just fine, I'm not sure why you're running into issues with it. I agree, that would be absurd In terms of connecting to your own computer, we're investigating an issue with that now, it looks like it might be whacky sandboxing issue.
unisonruss December 5th, 2012 12:44 pm
Please make this client the new laika client, too. Seriously the most gorgeous interface for plex yet! I'm so jealous of windows users, now :/ lol
What is it about iOS that doesn't allow this interface, btw? I love my iOS client, but seeing those screens makes me sad :p
I know that it's designed for a tablet, but perhaps it could be made so where we can use an iOS or android device to control it like a tablet, but the interface is on our big-screen TV. Make sense? Please make this happen, this is the future, home screens like that where our content is aggregated in an easy to navigate interface is a must! Great job you guys, I hope this is a sign of things to come for desktop clients, also.
Manky December 5th, 2012 12:52 pm
That looks amazing, will be testing this out on my Surface tonight for sure.
Thanx to all those that have confirmed it works on RT and thanx to the Plex Team for getting this out. The "Metro" interface was just made for something like Plex.
Really hoping this leads to Plex Sync making it's way to Windows as MKV support is lacking on the Surface making my entire media collection useless on the device.
Eddie December 5th, 2012 12:56 pm
To all the complainers…..its $2.99 for a shit load of App. Stop blaming you own lack of knowledge and stupidity on these guys who work hard to give us so many options and great Apps !!!
unisonruss December 5th, 2012 1:01 pm
By the way, don't feel the need to respond to me. I know the awesome UI is is due to the innovation of Windows 8, I just hope Mac catches up with the software so Mac can get a great UI like that. Great job Plex! And I REALLY look forward to a Laika update, with hopefully the new filter system in use
Pat December 5th, 2012 1:43 pm
So – had to buy Windows 8 to test is in Vmware and yes – its awesome.
BUT – since we all came a long way from Plex being the XBMC for Mac – can we now please work on a modern skin for my Media Center so i can get rid of XBMC ? Laika is getting a little old school compared to all the other clients… -
wally007 December 5th, 2012 10:53 pm
Hello elan,
Is homescreen as customizable as iOS version ? (ie. Is user able to get rid of onDeck/Channels/Shared Libraries etc and reorder them ?)
It looks awesome though. Good job.
Ashleigh December 6th, 2012 2:35 am
Bought, and installed, but it wont connect to PlexPass, or the local Plex server, any ideas?
Rodalpho Carmichael December 6th, 2012 8:59 am
@Pat: Laika, being largely XBMC underneath, is completely skinnable. If you want to work on a windows 8 "metro" style skin, that would be pretty cool. I'm not sure that metro skin makes sense or would really be welcomed by a lot of OSX users as the default.
Bram Cordie December 6th, 2012 10:28 am
The Windows store doesn't allow me to buy anything without a credit card. I don't own a credit card but I do want to support Plex and buy this app.
Using the Windows Store, every member of the family would have to buy the app separately because the purchase is linked to a Windows account? Again, my little brother isn't even eligible for a credit card.
Is there a way to buy the app without having to bother with the Windows store?
This is my first chance to actually buy a Plex product.
I like your software a lot. It would suck if you loose potential customers because Windows store can't figure out how to distribute software. -
gzapr December 6th, 2012 10:52 am
I would like MCE Keyboard support. That way my harmony remote can be used instead of my dinovo mini.

@gates89 December 6th, 2012 10:45 pm
Bought the windows 8 app and I just love it. The only problem is I cant use my plex for android as a remote. I normally use the android app as a remote for my two windows 8 media center. Its been working fine with the normal desktop app but windows 8 app is not showing up as a player to control. Can you please help.
elan December 6th, 2012 11:05 pm
@gates89: It's fair to assume we'll add that functionality in an upcoming update. Glad you dig the app
plexigator December 7th, 2012 6:54 am
Love the app!! I am seriously impressed, from a design and development perspective, the quality of your apps (xplatform) sets an example for the rest of us. One minor niggle though, the windows 8 app does not appear to support the "resume from where i left off" behavior?
Andrew Scott December 8th, 2012 8:09 pm
As much as I am glad to see a Windows 8 App from Plex, I personally know hundreds of people who will not buy it, and I am one.
The reason is that there is no option to try before you buy. In today's world that is more important than anything, a 30 day trial is all it needs. If they are going to continue using it they will buy it, but more and more people are opting for the try before you buy option, and if the App doesn't support it then people are not going to bother that quickly.
Secondly, as a developer myself. I can vouch that developers can gain more buy who has tried the app compared to those who have bought it, and then decide find out why people are not buying it.
Might sound simple and none important, but it is a known fact that if you don't offer the try before buy, you are essentially cutting a good 80% of your potential market.
Paddy December 9th, 2012 5:25 am
Looking for a REFUND on Windows 8 Plex client, is there any information on how this is done?
elan December 9th, 2012 11:55 am
@Paddy: As far as I know those are handled through the Windows store.
sarruman December 9th, 2012 1:59 pm
Plex app in windows 8 doesn't show (work with) plex server if installed in the same machine! What a disappointment…
For a paid app, this is ridiculous!
Plex client for desktop (which is free) does that years now… -
asif December 9th, 2012 4:19 pm

Jesse December 14th, 2012 7:37 pm
I had hoped for a lot more… Completely focused on tablets, not a good HTPC app. Very disappointing.
Maciej December 15th, 2012 9:36 am
Purchased the app and I'm very disappointed. No subtitles support and no control with a remote which makes the app unusable on my htpc. Other than that the app looks amazing, the layout is much better than in desktop client. I hope you fix the app soon.
Matthew December 16th, 2012 9:56 am
Quick question–does the Windows version of Plex decode and play Apple Lossless files?
Waverunnr December 17th, 2012 2:41 pm
Just got a refund for the Windows 8 app. It couldn't stream any of my videos on my local network. You guys need to test these apps more thoroughly before releasing them.
Jackson December 19th, 2012 1:01 pm
WOW! This is beautiful! It's almost enticing enough to make me run out and buy a windows 8 device. Eventually I'm going to buy a Windows 8 tablet, simply for testing purposes, as I'm a web developer… but I suspect the first thing I'll do is buy Plex for it
To all the people complaining… get over yourselves. These apps are extremely cheap, considering what they allow you to do, and how much work goes into them. I'm so tired of people expecting software to be free. What incentive do developers and designers have to continue making awesome products, if they can't sell their goods?
I for one congratulate the Plex team for deciding to monetize their products and services. I take it to mean they're really interested in sticking with it. Personally I'm afraid to get too involved with apps or products that take too long to monetize… because there's a greater chance they'll just disappear some day. On a somewhat related note, I think Boxee should have charged for their desktop app, instead of canceling it outright.
While I'm on the topic, I'd gladly pay for a new OS X Plex Client as well. Obviously anything XBMC derived will never make it into the Mac App Store (I don't know where this rumor started), so it would need to be sold on the web as a download (or through a subscription).
Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see what you have cooking for OSX!!!
Bobb December 19th, 2012 5:57 pm
Is there any intention to bring Plex Sync into the app? This is the biggest missing feature for me right now since I moved from an IPad to a windows 8 pro tablet.
Nick December 20th, 2012 1:06 pm
The problem is not that one needs to pay money for Plex, but rather the financial model Plex is using.
I would GLADLY pay $150+ for Plex right this moment if I could purchase a lifetime license for all content. The issue that this is not currently possible. Currently Plex splits everything between app costs, plex pass subscriptions, and have stated that they will charge a subscription for all future features.
I don't think I am alone in wishing that Plex would clarify and simplify their financial model. Perhaps offering everything À la carte should still be an option IN ADDITION to a simple one time license. This would give everyone more options, but I know that currently the developers of Plex are losing out on my money simply because I can't pay for a simple license.
In short – I would pay for Plex in a heartbeat if they only offered a lifetime license as an option.
elan December 20th, 2012 1:54 pm
@Nick: Check the latest blog post, I think you got your holiday wish.
rex December 21st, 2012 9:49 am
This is great news! As soon as I heard of it I installed Plex on my surface tablet. Just when I started the Plex app to connect to my Synology NAS, I got an error, that 0.9.7.3 server is required and my NAS has 0.9.6.9 installed. It would be great if you guys could provide an update for Synology so the Win8 guys can fully use this awesome product. Any ETA on this?
rex December 21st, 2012 11:05 am
Nevermind! Just found it on your page…..
PlexAtHome December 22nd, 2012 2:32 pm
as other users have pointed out, the app is great! except for the fact that there is no support for windows media remotes. I've spent half hour before I realized there is a simple fix. disable tabbing and ensure that arrow keys substitute for all tabbing functionality that is being disabled.
i'm really hoping this isn't some sort of windows 8 / w8 app store limitation. please please please fix this as it will make everyone who has an htpc with win8 and plex a total win!

@PlexAtHome: the next release (out shortly) adds support for keyboard navigation. It's not perfect, but it's much better!
sonicblue83 December 23rd, 2012 2:35 am
I cant find Plex in the Windows 8 store. Isnt it available internationally?
Evo December 23rd, 2012 8:11 pm
no iOS support. I like that fact that i can cue up my movies from my ipad and select which tv i want it to play on. PLEASE bring iOS support
ivan December 31st, 2012 1:28 am
Can it play MKV?
ivan December 31st, 2012 1:35 am
Can it work with a mouse?
elan December 31st, 2012 2:45 pm
@ivan: It can play MKV with transcoding and you can click on things with a mouse, yes.
Kalle January 1st, 2013 3:25 pm
I really like the win 8 app.
What I really miss from the iPad app is the choice to play on Another Plex player.
I use my iPad to browse my media but the playback is on my htpc connected to the projektor.
I was really hoping to retire the iPad completely but that is not the case for me.
The app still looks great and hopefully the support I need will be added in the future.
Ryan January 2nd, 2013 1:55 pm
I have set it up, it see's my server, but it transcodes and buffers to the point where all movies/shows are unwatchable. It bumps my CPU up to 100%. My gpu and cpu are fully capable of handling this. Hopefully you guys fix it with the next update.
elan January 2nd, 2013 4:01 pm
@Kalle: we'll definitely be adding that in a future release! Thanks for the kind words
elan January 2nd, 2013 4:06 pm
@Ryan: In our release today, we made some changes to try to address that issue, which is primarily due to limitations in the new Windows 8 media pipeline. Over time I expect the media capabilities of the platform to improve, and we will along with them!
Nick January 3rd, 2013 4:37 pm
Purchased a lifetime Plexpass as soon as I saw your post Got my holiday wish for sure!
Steve January 5th, 2013 6:57 pm
Fresh install of Win8, bought the Plex app.
Issues :
All videos are transcoded (as mentioned in previous posts)
Crashes while fast forwarding 1080p vids
It locks up and is unresponsive then dumps me back to the windows start screen.
This release was submitted waaaay too early imho.
Look forward to this app getting fixed.
MaartenDM January 15th, 2013 12:37 pm
Who can confirm that Plex for Win 8 support .srt files? I know that the .srt files don't work with WP7 and WP8… :s
Hogafther January 18th, 2013 7:46 pm
Purchased this today, doesn't seem to work? Keep being told no suitable server found – iOS client works fine and can connect to the server using local IP form web browser…
Did I waste my money on a dud?
anonymous January 25th, 2013 12:23 am
I've tried and yes this unfortunately has tons of faults, also if you read the reviews on the Windows Store it will tell you how bad it is, further to this the fact they want to charge us for it, it's not really worth it as other than the fact it doesn't work it's not really any different from the normal windows application, which you could program touch controls into anyway, my advice is to install android x86 and download the apk for plex, if you are purely using this as a htpc / entertainment unit.
aetafoya February 1st, 2013 11:34 pm
The "remote friendly" option works great until the computer is restarted. The option has to be toggled after a reboot or else the on screen previous/pause/next options never disappear. Great app guys! Best metro app I've used. Keep it up!
Fred February 2nd, 2013 4:13 am
I have the same problem "no suitable server was found" when i try to use the app for windows 8.
Greg February 6th, 2013 10:57 am
Any chance you guys will implement Play To Xbox in this app to watch the videos on the xbox without having to use the awegul dlna interface?
Ron February 10th, 2013 11:04 am
great now i cant buy it anymore due to microsoft wanting all my details for 'future purchases'.
guess i gotta install another solution.. hmz xbmc?
Mustafa Yusuf February 20th, 2013 12:32 am
What happened with the Recently Aired filter? Everything is great, but boy that's an important filter. Am I missing something?
Ronnie March 19th, 2013 4:07 am
I live in Denmark, why can't i find the Plex app in my windows store ? when I search for Plex there is nothing ? plz help… Wan't to try this awesome app
David March 25th, 2013 5:41 am
Hi Ronnie,
I am from Spain but you can use google translator:
Bye -
David O'Neill March 25th, 2013 1:24 pm
Love the look of the app but not great for usability. Limited remote control functionality and ipad app does not see the app so ca't use it to control the app either. Disappointed
Johan Möller March 30th, 2013 2:39 am
This makes me wonder even more why there is no plex for xbox 360. Most stream services are on there so it woud be perfect with plex aswell and probably get you alot of new users.
Ronnie April 2nd, 2013 12:09 am
Thank you David March!!
shane April 7th, 2013 12:26 pm
Sigh…..Windows 8 store apps don't work at 720p resolution of the tv connected to my pc. Tried downloading the previous version of Plex Media Center and got this message "Oops! Google Chrome could not find plex.r.worldssl.net". WTF!
Ethan November 14th, 2013 1:57 pm
I'm glad you are so proud of the new look. Unfortunately it is a disaster on non-touch devices. I briefly had the inspiration to install Plex on a Server 2012 system that has many terabytes of REFS storage pool space available. The new-and-oh-so-cool Metroized Plex UI does not respond at all to mouse clicks or movement over a remote desktop connection. Navigating via keyboard doesn't work beyond the basics.
Any chance of making the old fashioned desktop UI available again?
elan November 14th, 2013 7:36 pm
@Ethan ~ we never made it not available. There are two totally different apps for Windows: Plex Media Center (soon to be Plex Home Theater), and the metro app.

UAB Cybersecurity Program's Success Leads to Spin Off Company
Researchers and lab students investigating computer viruses at the University of Alabama at Birmingham became so good at it, a company was spun off to take on clients and "phish" for malware within their systems and help combat cybercrime.
Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics at UAB, told the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham Tuesday his group discovered through years of research that there was no antivirus software that could fully fight the viruses that have infected computers of 46 percent of online adult users in 2012 alone. Warner estimated $110 billion was spent in the U.S. to clean up infected PCs in 2012.
To combat the lack of effective antiviruses, go after cybercriminals, help with cybercrime investigations and protect consumers, businesses and the government, Warner and several cofounders started Malcovery Security.
UAB owns 25 percent of the new company that also has sponsors, including Bank of America, Facebook and e-Bay.
Warner and his team at UAB's Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research put themselves on the map last year when they helped the FBI track down the international cybercrime ring responsible for stealing tens of millions of dollars online through viruses that look like email replicas of bank statements, bills and other transfers that trick users into opening them. That gave the criminals access to the user's computer and accounts via online access.
Warner was featured on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams March 21, 2012, talking about his cybercrime program's role in the investigation.
Today, Warner helps district attorneys conduct cyber investigations and the center has helped corporate partners such as e-Bay, UPS, Google, Microsoft, FBI and Facebook.
Facebook gave Warner's center a $250,000 donation after it helped track international criminals behind a social media spam outlet. The donation came from money Facebook recovered from spammers around the world and was used to expand the center's UAB headquarters by 4,400 square feet, Warner said. Read Facebook's post about the investigation and acknowledgment to Warner for his center's role here.
Cybersecurity is a growing field, with an estimated need of 11,000 computer investigators next year, Warner said, but he is concerned there won't be enough trained workforce to fill the demand considering the U.S. will only graduate 1,100 with that specialty next year.
Warner is also worried about the ability to prosecute cyber criminals in the future, with sequestration prompting a pay cut of 10 percent to FBI agents' salaries and a reduction of their hours.

UAB develops a simple defense for complex smartphone malware
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers have developed simple but effective techniques to prevent sophisticated malware from secretly attacking smartphones. The Tap-Wave-Rub (TWR) methods — tapping, waving a hand over or rubbing the phone's proximity sensor — are being presented at the 6th Association for Computing Machinery Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec'13) April 17-19, 2013, in Hungary, Budapest.
"The most fundamental weakness in mobile device security is that the security decision process is dependent on the user," says Nitesh Saxena, Ph.D., the director of the Security and Privacy In Emerging computing and networking Systems (SPIES) lab and assistant professor of computer and information sciences at UAB. "For instance, when installing an Android app, the user is prompted whether or not the application should have permissions to access a given service on the phone. The user may be in a rush or distracted, or maybe it is the user's kid who has the phone. Whatever the case may be, it is a well-known problem that people do not look at these warnings; they just click 'yes.'"The designers say the TWR system will turn the phone's weakest security component, the user, into its strongest defender.
It is this weakness of the human user that malicious entities exploit. For example, a malware writer whose goal is to make hidden phone calls or texts to premium rate numbers may hide a malicious code within a simple tic-tac-toe app. When prompted at the time of installing this game app, pressing "yes" would allow the game to make phone calls.
Attackers create a phone or text number that charges large sums of money for use. The malware then triggers a program that asks your mobile device to call or text that number. Such malware is already prevalent, and researchers and practitioners anticipate this and other forms of malware to become one of the greatest threats affecting millions of smartphone users in the near future.
Accepting terms on computers and smartphones is habitual repetition, and hackers with mal intent know this; they can leverage a user's vulnerability to, among other things, make a harmless-looking game dangerous.
TWR works by using the proximity sensor that comes standard in most smartphones. These sensors, for example, save power by turning the screen off when a phone is near the user's ear.
READ MORE: The SPIES team recently created a verification mechanism that uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) to prevent "ghost and reader" attacks on mobile devices here. |
TWR methods help verify the user's desire to voice dial or message, or access any other resource on the phone, by requiring the user to tap, wave their hand over or rub the sensor before actions are executed. By means of a TWR gesture, the device basically captures the user's intent to perform an action. In the absence of this gesture, when a malicious app attempts to dial a phone number, the device will simply block it. The strength of this malware defense lies in its simplicity and broad applicability to different forms of constantly evolving malware.
Saxena's team carefully chose tapping, waving and rubbing because they are the least likely movements to be replicated accidentally. In other words, the device will be less likely to confuse any of those motions during daily activities such as walking, dropping the phone or playing a video game.
"We purposely designed the TWR program to not involve yes/no and to force people to stop for a moment and think about whether or not the action requested by the phone is what they really would like their mobile device to perform," Saxena said.
There is a disclaimer.
"Any mechanism may not guarantee 100 percent safety, as there is always a little chance of error," Saxena said. "You must also pay attention to what you are downloading and what permissions are granted at the time of installation to fully protect yourself."
UAB graduate student Babins Shrestha, a researcher in the SPIES Lab who coauthored the article, will present the paper at WiSec'13.
"There are anti-virus applications available for mobile devices but, unlike our method, they are ineffective, eat up your phone's resources and cannot keep up with new strains of malware," Shrestha said.
UAB undergraduate student Justin Harrison has also been involved with the project, integrating the TWR gestures with the voice dialing service. The project team, which is funded by the National Science Foundation and includes researchers from University of Michigan-Dearborn, also developed an implicit gesture mechanism — "phone tapping" — explicitly geared for protecting near field communication (NFC) transactions. These usually require the user to tap their phone with a payment terminal or another phone. This gesture is detected using the phone's accelerometer, which is also standard on all smartphones.
Using the Internet Could Decrease Loneliness in Seniors
Among senior citizens who live in assisted- and independent-living communities, those who engage in online activity are less lonely than their peers, according to a University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) study.
This research, "The Impact of Information and Communication Technologies Use on Loneliness and Contact with Others among Older Adults," is forthcoming in "The Journal of Medical Internet Research."
Shelia Cotten, Ph.D., professor of sociology in the UABCollege of Arts and Sciences, along with her colleagues William Anderson and Brandi McCullough, discovered that using the Internet provides seniors with the social connections they need to help decrease feelings of depression and isolation.
"Older adults are at an increased risk of experiencing loneliness and depression, particularly as they move into different types of care communities," Cotten said. "Information- and communication-technology usage has been shown to help older adults maintain contact with social ties."
Residents in both assisted- and independent-living facilities were surveyed to examine how Internet use affects perceived social isolation and loneliness, as well as the perceptions of how Internet use affects communication and social interaction.
The data revealed that using the Internet made it easier for seniors to reach people, contributed to their ability to stay in touch, made it easier for them to meet new people, increased the quantity and quality of communication with others, made them feel less isolated and helped them feel more connected to friends and family.
"For those who move into those types of communities, loneliness can be a big issue," Cotten said. "It is hard to stay connected as they make the transition, moving from their home. We need to encourage older adults to go online to find information and to communicate with their friends and family members. For them, using the Internet can decrease loneliness."

Many of the schools closing are due to weather changes, like for instance if there are heavy snow forcasts in the state or the cold is increasing, as such, the district magistrate orders the schools to close for certain period of time. Another case may be that when there is curfew in the state or district, which ...

Ninefold Announces Multiple Zone Strategy
Ninefold Announces Multiple Zone Strategy
~ cloud computing leader announces multiple Availability Zone strategy
& wins multi-zone health customer, HelloMedical, from AWS ~
Sydney, July 11 2012 – Ninefold, Australia's Cloud, has today launched its Zone 2 Availability Zone out of Beta for cloud customers looking to use multiple Zones in their cloud environments. Ninefold also announced today its commitment to launching a third zone in the last quarter of 2012.
The multi-zone strategy announcement signals Ninefold's continued significant product investment. This ongoing investment supports user demand for failsafe uptime and risk mitigation among developer, digital, cloud integrator and, increasingly international customers with local Australian operations.
Getting started in this multiple zone environment is simple and easy to provision in minutes, and Ninefold is offering a free consultation to those who would like to learn more.
Ninefold has also won its first multi-zone customer with HelloMedical the first to sign up. Previously an Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer for two years, HelloMedical fosters a global network of researchers, clinicians, academics and organisations who meet around the world at conferences and events, but have no centralised means to collaborate and share research efficiently afterwards. Set up by medics and technology specialists, HelloMedical needed low latency, high availability, local hosting and local support.
"The local aspect of everything that Ninefold offers is critical to our switch from AWS: local data hosting, multiple zones, great speed and reliability and, most definitively local, live support," said Brent Hall, CEO of HelloMedical. "Our business runs as a real-time collaborative environment for global health experts to exchange ideas and effect change, so we need our underlying technology to work guaranteed and give the community trust and confidence."
"We announced significant investment plans for the business earlier this year and today's multiple Availability Zone announcement makes good on that commitment to our customers said Peter James, Chairman and Co-Founder at Ninefold. "HelloMedical is a great example of a company that needs everything we offer and we're delighted to be working with the team there. We'll be sharing the exciting news of Zone 3 with its unique proposition in due course."
A second or third zone allows customers to architect with greater redundancy, recover from incidents faster or safeguard their data by replicating into another zone. Ninefold's support teams can help set up and configure for maximum effectiveness across zones.
Specifically, multiple Availability Zones provide:
High Availability: the ability to load balance or cluster virtual servers across multiple Availability Zones, allowing true High Availability protection from a single Availability Zone failure.
Disaster Recovery: multiple Availability Zones run hot, warm or cold disaster recovery environments to protect from a single Availability Zone failure – simply align the level of disaster recovery to a customer's budget, only paying for what is used, in line with Ninefold's transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing model.
Features of Ninefold's Availability Zones 1 & 2
All of the existing Ninefold self-service features available in Availability Zone 1 are available in Availability Zone 2 – via both the Ninefold portal and the API
Snapshot and copy virtual servers from one Availability Zone to another
Private inter-zone network connectivity to virtual servers (via multiple NICs), perfect for data replication or other inter-zone communication needs
Separate IP address ranges available in each Availability Zone
Physical firewall security protection available in both Availability Zones, with VPN options available
Load Balance traffic to virtual servers residing in both Availability Zones (via Availability Zone 1)
For more information or to book a free consultation, please visit http://ninefold.com/cloud-architecture/cloud-availability-zones/
About HelloMedical
Founded in 2010, HelloMedical connects medical professionals enabling them to stay in touch, find articles and share research. We help doctors, researchers and clinicians connect with one another to foster great progress within medicine.

I agree with those who say that the twins were probably registered together,
and separated afterwards.
Wherever they were born, it would be difficult to conceal the multiple

James Galanos designs for wealthy women who go to luncheons and cocktail parties, dine at the finest restaurants and are invited to the best parties. His clothes are rarely seen in business offices. It isn't only because of the five-figure price tags, although they are daunting to all but the highest-paid executives. It's also the glamour quotient of the clothes.
A casual corduroy shirtdress comes with a lame chiffon scarf. Wool jersey shifts have provocative lacing up the front or sides. Tweed coats go over dresses with brocade or gold-flecked bodices.
''I like the juxtaposition of a sporty coat fabric and a dressy dress,'' the designer said at a recent private showing of his fall collection. ''There is hidden luxury. A woman can wear the clothes from lunch through cocktails or dinner.''
Skirts Are Short, of Course
Dresses are basically slim, with fullness at the top. There are many long-torso shapes, either bloused or fitted. Chemises are slender enough to show the body. Skirts are short.

Ms. Armijo was there when I need her the most. She guided me through the process and called me back when I had questions. She was professional and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her to anyone having a criminal case pending. She is a great attorney who cares about the outcome.

I hired an attorney, other then Cynthia, whom I was told was one of the best in DWI cases. what I went through for a year with this attorney was an emotional roller coaster. I was not guilty, I knew that I was not guilty, I was only told from the attorney whom I hired to defend me, I was that he thought I was, foolish if I did not sign the plea that was offered. I contacted Cynthia Armijo for counsel, I was told by Cythia not to sign the plea to take this to trial. I followed her advice and all charges were dismissed with prejudice. I wish I would have gone to Cynthia Armijo first. I do not plan on needing an attorney in the future, but if I ever do I will call her first. I feel she is an attorney who will fight for you, she is a very knowledgeable capable attorney who will defend you, keep you informed and look out for your best interests. Cynthia thank you for all your help. David

DescriptionVery nice sport area with several very good, moderate to easy, limestone sport routes on the far left side of the Sunshine wall. Wall is south facing but with ample shade from several large trees. Climbs are on very featured and pocketed black rock. Most of the cruxes are on steeper rock low on the routes with the exception being Bugs Bunny that has a crux at the midway point. All routes have fixed anchors with closed cold shuts or chains so you will have to re-tie in at the top. Probably the highest concentration of easy climbing in the canyon. The Cruxes are short and the rests are many, but the climbing remains fun. Getting ThereEither one of two approaches will get you there. You can go up the trail to Sunshine and follow the trail to the left. The other way is to go to the thunderhead and go to the right up the hill for about 50 yards after getting to the cliff.

One compressor over whole mix? Hey every one I am an enthusiastic but very newbie bedroom producer /computer musician that has tried to learn the art of mixing for a little over 2 years now. I just obtained the new challenge of being "mr. soundboard" of a struggling church worship team. The first of many problems I notice is that I we have a Newer drummer that assumes louder is better and a couple of singers that are flat, loud, and love high notes. I have never dealt with compression in a hardware(non-computer) environment before and can only assume that I need a different compressor unit for each channel. If thats the case, then we cant afford that right now. Which arises the question, can I compress the whole mix with decent results? I am about to lose my hearing over cymbal crashes. Awesome forum by the way! And I hope I can contribute in anyway possible. Thanks in advance. |
| |||
Just answered a little bit of my question with research I should have done previously, sorry. I see that there are compressors that do different channels but are the same unit. I think our budget is around 400 dollars and the Higher end multi channel units seem out of the price range. I was thinking and Art Pro Vla II compressor at around 300.00 but not sure yet. |
| |||
How about some instruction and training to the singers, as you would do if recording in a studio. If the drummer is playing to loud on acoustic drums, then things are absolutely out of control. Again some teaching so he understand his role in the service, is the first place to start. I know this can be very difficult, compared to just try to solve the problem with electronic devices, but at the end the result will be much better. |
| |||
Welcome to CMN elhewman. Try and do the 'training' bit first before throwing technology at a solution - it very rarely works at best and the cash may be better spent elsewhere later on. We have three drummers and they all play completely differently. One of the three likes rock music and likes to play "hard" no matter what we say. The solution in the end was to place the drum kit in an enclosure (as the amount of acoustic output even with the mix OFF was too loud!). Fortunately, we have a digital mixer desk, so we have access to compressors on all input and output strips which we also make use of. Obviously - if the drummer is making everyone's ears bleed - you need to do something... Is it just an acoustic volume level (drum quieter ) or is it the amount of energy coming through the mixer desk? In this case, have you grouped all of the drum inputs together and could you add a single compressor to the drum group? I am glad you like the forum and I am sure that you will be able to contribute. Let us know what your existing set-up is (e.g. how many singers, musicians etc. microphone types, mixer desk make and model, amps and speakers). Also, keep an eye on the "for sale" section of CMN - there are sometimes some good deals to be had there. Dave |
| ||||
I can tell you first hand that tools, gadgets, and technological gizmos just DO NOT work if the drummer is out of control. We are fortunate to have enough equipment to compress each channel, each subgroup and the entire mix. However, if the drummer is too loud, his sound comes through the guitar mic, the choir mics, and the handheld vocal mics. The bottom line is that he has to be considerate of his fellow band members, the audio team, and his fellow congregants... ESPECIALLY if money is tight. Too add to what was said earlier, that money can be better spent elsewhere. IMHO it should not be spent to overcome someone's selfish desires.

Wow! Thanks for the replies and I have food for thought on each reply. The drummer is in his late 50's and just learning. He has been playing for 6 months or so and really likes upbeat modern worship like David Crowder. He is nervous most the time so I think I will break it to him after he gets some more experience in a few months or so. We have micrphoned enclosure for the drums by the way I honestly do not think There needs to be any drum amplification (exempt a little bit of a kick drum boost) but the other soundtech guy + the band wants it maxed out to hear it in the stage monitors at the crowds hearing expense. Thats another topic. Anyway I'll try give a more formal intro later with my set up and worship team details. I am actually having loads of fun working out sound for my church. I am learning things that apply to my own home studio projects so its rewarding in many different ways. Thanks |
| |||
Another thought for you to think about... Do you have a nominated "worship leader" for the service? We have, and this avoids the potential "sound technicians verses musicians" syndrome. The worship leader is charged with defining what (s)he wants the worship group to sound like during the service and then we all pull together to try and achieve that. Our worship leaders are drawn from the worship team (so they are musical) but they constantly talk to the sound technicians to know what is possible, what can and can't be done easily with the existing set-up, and what is working and not working. Some of the worship team leaders are Elders - which is also a 'plus' when it comes to asking someone to "tone down their playing" or knowing the appropriate words to get the best out of someone's abilities. If you're having fun and learning stuff in the process then that is good. Keep it up! Dave |
| |||
Yes We do have a worship leader. He is a little non -confrontational but on the flip side my Pastor is always giving constructive criticism So if he agrees the drums are to loud then I can say " both the Pastor and I think the drums are to loud". That should work. Thanks |
| |||
I think there's solutions in all the above comments. When we have this problem I will only mic the overall drum kit. If the drum wash is still too much I will ask the worship leader to have the drummer play softer. Nobody likes playing behind a drum shield and I hate mixing drums that are behind them as well. My final solution before finding another drummer is to give him "hotrods" I prefer the plastic ones over the wooden ones. It's almost like a slap in the face to give him brushes on a song that doesn't sound right with them. Save the compressors for the vocals, if you are short on cash then buy one and place it on the vocal group (if your board has groups) until you can dedicate one per singer. If the musicians are good, you will hardly need them anywhere else anyhow. IMHO |
| |||
1. Yes, it is common practice to use compression and/or limiting as a creative tool and a protective tool on the master buss, in the speaker system processing, etc. 2. There are many types of compressors. Each type has it's application and limitations. 3. I would not use an ART compressor for live sound, on a master buss. It is a good beginner piece for the studio. It is patterned after another famous topology that is good for coloring broadly. It is a bit slow. I would use a compressor like a dbx 160 to start. 4. You must start mixing your sound before it gets to the console. You need to mix the people/instruments themselves. Once you get the sound right on stage, then you can begin to fill in the gaps in the room with the mix. 5. Strive to use your sound system as a creative tool, not for damage control. If you can get to this point, life will be cake. |
| ||||
*sigh* I wish our drummer would listen. But you know how it is, large donor, founding member of the worship team, very good friends with the worship pastor, sets the mix himself. So people complain, no one does anything. On the other hand when he is not there, the mix sounds GREAT.

I couldn't find the published column by Sun Editor Scott Ware from a few years ago that addressed your concerns, but I think I can paraphrase the thrust of his explanation:
As people who are thought of as "heroes" for just doing their jobs, we feel military people should be held to the same standard of conduct as, say, firefighters and police officers — that is to say, a higher standard than ordinary citizens. So, just as we put a regular spotlight on all the good work they do, so we feel we shouldn't shrink away from those instances they conduct themselves less than heroically.

And don't get me going about the NFL? Is there anybody out there who seriously thinks most of these guys aren't doing PEDs? Have you ever seen what they look like.
Or how about Derrick Rose recently stating to ESPN that juicing was a huge problem in the NBA and now suddenly he can't remember his statement. Lets get serious.
Its easy to complain about cycling but does anybody really think American sports are any cleaner.
The key difference is the way that cyclists point the finger at each other. One gets caught, and immediately starts pointing to others. There was also quite a stink raised in France about American cyclists being "dirty." That is what I think Daugherty was talking about, not the fact that doping is any more rampant. I could be wrong, but thats my take. Its not about the drugs, its about the attitude.

Andrea Strammaccioni's men won the preparatory event for the eighth time in 12 editions by beating two of their fiercest rivals over three 45-minute matches.
Inter have won its third consecutive Trofeo TIM title after recording victories over both Juventus and AC Milan in the traditional preseason tournament on Saturday.It was the Nerazzurri who landed the first blow of the night, beating Juve in the opening 45-minute fixture thanks to a 12th-minute goal from Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian took advantage of an error by former teammate Lucio, who hesitated as the ball took a wicked bounce near the six-yard box, allowing the attacker to fire confidently past Marco Storari.
The Italian champion bounced back with a 1-0 success of its own in the second fixture against Milan. Mirko Vucinic picked himself up to fire home a penalty 14 minutes from time having been brought down in the area by Bakaye Traore.
In the Milan derby decider, Stephan El Shaarawy struck first when he reacted quickest to Kevin-Prince Boateng's knockdown, threatening a three-way tie on results. But Fredy Guarin headed Inter level from Rodrigo Palacio's pinpoint cross before the provider turned scorer 11 minutes from time to confirm Inter's third straight Trofeo TIM success and its eighth in 12 editions.

My Morning Jacket and Sharon Jones - Gibson Amphitheatre - 12-01-11
My Morning Jacket and Sharon Jones and The Dap-KingsMolly Bergen My Morning Jacket
Gibson Ampitheatre
Better than...any ride at Universal Studios.
Past the gauntlet of Universal City Walk with its seizure-inducing lights, blaring Christmas pop remixes, and downright oppressive wafts of popcorn and cologne, there was a damn fine show last night in the dimly lit confines of the Gibson Ampitheatre.
One couldn't help but notice that right next to an entire neon village dedicated to selling you things based on current marketing trends, two bands performed that have never taken any notice of current musical trends at all. Both of them tapping into a wealth of pure organic human emotion, nothing prepackaged or preprogrammed or researched.
Up first was the formidable funk soul powerhouse Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Due to an unfortunate set-time of 7:45 p.m., the ampitheatre had only a smattering of people who had fought the rush hour traffic early. As soon as Jones took the stage one couldn't help pitying those who were still stuck in their cars or drinking beer outside.
In a black fringed dress with silver sandals strapped to her shoes, Ms Jones commanded your attention from the moment she grabbed the microphone. With a voice ten times her size, she ran the gamut of a relationship issues from seduction to cheating to that uncertain feeling when you're not sure if your lover really loves you back.
Shimmying all over the stage, Ms Jones grabbed one shy young man from out of the crowd and pulled him on stage and serenaded him with "Are You Going To Give It Back." The poor baffled thing just stood there with his hands on his hips, unsure of what to do next, as she tried to dance with him. Eventually either out of boredom or empathy she threw him back. The set was short, sharp, and tightly wound with no room for banter. The sharply dressed Dap-Kings were on stage just long enough to win the reluctant crowd over and then they vanished into the darkness.
A cloud of blue tinted smoke covered the stage as My Morning Jacket went on at nine. The five piece from Kentucky received a warm welcome from the crowd as they launched into a set that included everything from Americana to folk to reggae to gospel to soul to larger than life rock n' roll.
Absorbing genres like a sponge, My Morning Jacket manages to constantly reinvent itself with every album while still remaining recognizably themselves. When Jim James opens his mouth and let's loose his angelic iconic voice there is no doubt what band it is.

Please provide a short testimony about your relationship with Christ?

PBS will be used by GonziPN as an important tool in the next electoral campaign. The Gonzi administration is building a framework at the state owned broadcasting service to ensure a biased and partisan approach by PBS during the next election.
Gino Cauchi, the Labour Party spokesman on Media, said during a Press conference that the administrative set up at PBS is now composed of persons who were either part of the Nationalist party or known sympathizers. He mentioned Anton Attard, CEO at PBS, formerly CEO at Net TV; Natalino Fenech, Head of News, who is well known for his political leaning and the recent appointment of Mario Xuereb, as a Junior Manager at PBS. Xuereb has served as Head of News of NET TV and was also Communications coordinator with Minister Chris Said. PBS will also be employing another Junior Manager, Silvana Debono, who has worked as a journalist at Radio 101 and at RTK. Obviously, the above are in addition to the ever increasing presence of Pierre Portelli, ex-President of the PN executive committee as well as Head of News at Net TV, who presents two current affairs programs, one of which on a daily basis and the ever present Lou Bondi who was propaganda chief for the PN.
The PL spokesman said that this is a web of deceit being woven by GonziPN as an integral part of the Nationalist party's campaign. Excerpts from political news as presented by PBS, which prove the claims made, were shown to the press.
In one of the clips presented, Natalino Fenech, Head of News said that "balance in news broadcasting is non-existent". Gino Cauchi insisted that, by law, "news should not be based on the wishes, beliefs and ideas of the persons who run the state owned broadcasting service".
The Labour spokesman on Media criticized the role of PBS in the 'spin' created by GonziPN regarding the minimum wage issued invented by the PN. Gino Cauchi also mentioned the omission by PBS of the news that Richard Cachia Caruana retained the title of Ambassador despite a Parliamentary decision to remove him from that post. The PL spokesman also highlighted the biased reporting of Franco Debono's declaration that he would not be supporting the Gonzi government.
Gino Cauchi concluded by saying that this situation is not acceptable in a state owned and state funded broadcasting service. The Labour party will continue monitoring PBS, especially during this time, so close to the announcement of a general election.
Natalino Fenech hareg lista ta' Laburisti impjegati ma' PBS.
