Your blog is really cool to me and your subject matter is very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of site owners are guilty of these five mistakes”. http://tinyurl.com/cwa3tj7 You will be suprised how fast they are to fix.

This is a great post, thanks for the info. I just discovered Plex yesterday and ran into a couple fo problems that I am determined to work around because I love the interface. I think you may have solved the first one, being content, as I am in Canada where we have restricted media as well. I will try the VPN idea. Other issues I am having:

Some plug-ins play audio and no video
I use Airtunes, which doesn’t work with Plex. I only get sound out of the main speakers.

Any thoughts on these?

Thanks again!

Ok, i’m struggling with this. VPN done, set-up and working on safari. iPlayer not working on Plex, just get a frozen pixelated screen, but the seconds tick away happily.
If have read some forums suggesting I need to do something with routing (DNS?)… did you have any of these problems?

Hi- Great post, thanks. Do you think i can get all this working on top an apple-TV?
Also, do you think I can use the vpns for itunes store as well?
Finally, do you know any good plex developers?
Thanks again

Great post! It’s a shame that so much online content is restricted by location. The media companies still live in the stone age, not realising that with the internet, the world is one global market… They have to re-think and re-structure their way of operating. It will hurt, but it’s necessary if they want to survive and fight piracy.

Being able to switch vpn connections on and off with the remote is great, but what would be even better is to have requests to the different online sources routed through different vpn connections automatically…. Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to achieve that yet…

Wow… The possibility of the iPlayer and US-series at home make me almost drool…
