Yes, I have the same problem. Of over 800 videos in my library (avi and mkv) Plex found 16! Made it a real waste of time so I've uninstalled. Plex should consider offering a free time-limited version so you can test it without wasting your money, the Google 15 minutes trial isn't long enough to find all this out. The only advice offered on their forum is to rename the files. All 800? I don't think so. XBMC has no problems with the same files.

The menu offers a 'Browse by folder' but it doesn't mean it - what it really means is 'Browse by folder the files I could find'. A real 'browse by folder' would solve the problem for me.

On the positive side, the 16 it did find played fine! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vidriera:
The files in question do not show up in the media manager, correctly named or not.

An example is :

Folder:Gremlins.1984.720p.Bluray.X264-DIMENSION

File: Gremlins.1984.720p.Bluray.X264-DIMENSION.mkv

There are other files arranged almost identically that it did find, so I'm puzzled for this one (and the others).

Edit: it did find that one after a few tries, but it has never found this one:

Ip.Man.2.2010.1080p.Blu-ray.HK.DTS.x264-ViSTA (file and folder names identical, mkv)...actually, fml, I switched to "video files scanner" and it's now finding more, but not organizing them as nicely. I guess I'll wait and see how it ends up this time...

This is the bit that is important.

Please use the directions in the first post to get the log for your PMS.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
I dont want to come off as a ****, but the issue you are having has NOTHING to do with the android app. It has everything to do with the plex media server, which is free.

Id suggest renaming some of your files and folders and see if the issue is resolved.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bishop72:
Don't know if this helps or not but try holding down Alt and press the refresh icon. I've read on the Plex forums where this helped with files that are not showing.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Please do me a favor and try renaming.

Folder:Gremlins.1984.720p.Bluray.X264-DIMENSION

File: Gremlins.1984.720p.Bluray.X264-DIMENSION.mkv

to

Folder:Gremlins[1984][720p]

File: Gremlins[1984][720p].mkv

My guess is that its the length of the file name thats causing the issue.

Ill have darrin drop by here and take a look.

I had the same issue with the scrapper in Boxee and XBMC before I renamed my files. I have ZERO issues with scrappers any more now matter which one it is.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vidriera:
I tried it with Ip Man 2, which had a longer file name and a similar naming scheme, made it its own section in PMM, and named it like you suggested. It found and correctly identified it with the shorter name, but didn't find it all with the longer name. Personally, I think the original naming scheme was great organizationally, so I would love a way to not have to rename files named this way, but I guess it's a solution at least.

On a lighter note, I do LOVE the way the android app looks and performs, I just wish the windows server were better.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] darrin_plex:
Generally this error means that the Plex Media Server is unable to find the media in question. This can happen if the media was moved, delete or say on a network drive... consider coming to the Plex for Android forums we've got answers to most of these questions there.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Files werent moved or anything....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dbett:
Thanks for the info.

I'm really tempted by the i3-2100. It looks like it has a great combo of low power draw with good ability to handle transcoding needs. And it would even let me use the server as a gaming rig when friends are over.

But just beginning to evaluate my options....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Glad that worked for you. Dont be too down on the Windows PMS, it seems that OSx PMS still has some issues like this as well.

I know the pain of finding out I need to rename my entire library, 4TB and counting.

I did mine by hand, which sucked GIANT BROWN DONKEY BALLS. I then found an article I had missed at Lifehacker for batch rename programs which would have made like a whole lot easier.

Hope one of these helps.

How powerful does your computer need to be to run this? The windows server that is.

I'm wondering if I can get away with running it on my media center computer, it's an Acer Revo with dual core Intel Atom processor (forgot the clock rate).

Most of my TV shows are 720p HD rips.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vidriera:
Thanks--I've already re-named most of it by hand though. Oh well!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Transcoding is the very reason I rebuilt my server. The Atom was not upto the task. Now if one day off in the future we get cuda support for FFMPEG then we maybe able to pull it off.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
My Revo actually does seem to be handling it pretty well. Just bought the app and holy ****, if there ever was a "killer app" for my xoom, this it it. I still think I might upgrade my server though, I've been wanting more power lately.

Give me Netflix and ESPN3 support and you'll have my eternal gratitude :)

Everyone at work just got a Xoom (250+ people), I'll be putting in a good word :) I think I already got thumb keyboard about 250 purchases lol

Edit: It's tanking on 1080p bluray rips though :P
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vidriera:
I posted this over on the plex forums, but thought I'd drop the question here too:

I have just about everything working great locally (haven't tried remote wifi yet) on my wifi model, but I notice a button in the playback interface that doesn't seem to do anything for me. It looks like it's supposed to adjust the aspect ratio of the video to fill the screen but it doesn't seem to work. Is this an isolated issue I'm having, or does this button do something else?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bjarnia:
Btw. It would be infinitely awesome if I could cache things to my Xoom for offline playback. I would seriously buy the app again just for this feature.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:

thats my PMS log..

help plz
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Here is the bit that matters.

It looks as though the PMS no longer has access to the files.

Are you hosting your media over the network or are the files located on the same system as your PMS?

Can you view the video through VLC or any other media player on the PC you are running PMS on?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
rofl im a moron, they are on a external hard drive no longer plugged in

bahaha thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lothaen:
Works well with xoom :-) thans
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lignumaqua:
You are correct of course. However, the two are inextricably linked to the extent that they must be judged together. You can't run and test Plex on Android without also running the Plex media server. The Android App may be perfect, but is still completely useless to me because of the inadequacies of the media server. $4.99 isn't a lot of money, but it's still annoying to have wasted it.

Renaming files to suit Plex's narrow requirements isn't an option I want to pursue - the main use of my video library is with XBMC and it works perfectly there, I have no desire to mess that up.

As I suggested, all I need is a really dumb mode of the media server where it doesn't attempt to scan files. Just give me a file browser so I can pick the files I want from a list. (If I missed that function, please tell me and I'll be happy) I never use and have no interest in the library functions anyway.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vidriera:
You could try subsonic, then. It will stream any video file, and you can choose what to transcode and what to directly stream. It maxes out at 2Mbps, and the interface is pretty bare-bones, but it gets the job done and works fine on a xoom. The pc-side server software asks for a $10 donation after a while, but you can try it I guess. It has absolutely no library functionality, and uses folder structure.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ritalin:
I agree I want this as well. However you can accomplish something like that. Here is a list of files that I do not want scanned into my Movies section, so it really just shows as a folder list with medadata only only being added for a screencap. Follow the setup in the screen cap below.

If you look back a few posts I pointed at a lifehacker page that allows for batch renaming. Your scans will actually go faster and result in less false results.

You could also look into using ember media manager to create nfo files for all your movies. This should also help.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lignumaqua:
Ritalin - many thanks for your helpful suggestions.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] supeg:
Bought this a couple days ago, love it.

Have one smallish issue though. For some reason the volume when playing media using this is a lot lower then when converting and playing the media off of internal storage. Any possible way to fix this or add a volume setting in the future?

Great work btw on this product.

Here are the original clocks with just the modified second hand. They all look like the picture below, except with the colored second hand that they are named for.

*Red*
[Android Themes] VegasEvo4G:
These are great. I have the entire collection of black one's but they are sketchy on a dark layout. I was gonna ask you for one with an orange second hand but then I saw where you were from...

How bout a black and gold one? Or, maybe just throw the hawkeye logo in the middle and make an Iowa clock. (Hope that cornfield you are in isn't near Ames) :D

If its too much or just not graphically possible, just the orange one would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't say what color second hand you wanted so I just assumed green lol if you want something different just let me know. But here is ISU (the best and what I am rocking) and the Celtics. I have a Hawkeyes one, but don't have a good color for the second hand to match at this point.

[Android Themes] VegasEvo4G:
LOL!! Since you are making me a clock, I won't hold that against you. No rush as far as the second hand... when you find the right color, just let me know. I hope I didn't open pandora's box of custom clock requests for you. I got to thinking about it and as long as this doesn't involve tweaking xml files, I could probably do this or help. I know how to decompile apk's, mod drawable png's, and recompile. I haven't ever peeked insided this bad boy. If it is more technical than that, I'm out!! :D
[Android Themes] 00McD00:
Hey good timing I just got it done and it actually looks really good (please don't tell anyone I said that lol). Here it is along with a stock gold second hand one. Oh no don't worry about that at all, I really enjoy making them actually, it's pretty fun. But if you want to give it a try be my guest, I just use 7zip to open them up on my computer and replace whatever .png files I want to change (those changes are done with photoshop so you'd need to have that), then you need to delete the "META-INF" file before resigning it, and then I resign it on my phone using a free application called Signapktic (using the Platform key). If you want to know any more just let me know.

*Gold*

*Squawk Clock*
[Android Themes] VegasEvo4G:
HELL YEAH!!!!

These are awesome! Thank you so much!! Yeah, I might give it a whirl. I've just recently started modding wallpapers w/ gimp, but certainly that would work for replacing a few png files. 7zip, check. I've also used apk manager to open them up and then re sign them. That's how I did the widget locker mods when the themes first came out before the themed version. Just one more thing to add to my to do list... Damn this phone!

Seriously, thanks again. And seriously, look forward to slapping you guys around this September... AGAIN!!!!!! :D

1650mAh give more life time power rather then 1500mAh. Do I wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xmsnx:
Nope you're right, but the OP asked if the i9000 (1500mAh) battery will fit in the i9003. That's why LacusClyne asked "But why do you wanna do so? i9003 uses 1650mAh while i9000 uses 1500mAh."

Wrong way around see? Lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] haseoxth:
definitely it works

but abandon 1650 and choose 1500?why?;)

Exactly what I did ! And what a difference ! I swap Batteries from my Vibrant and Vibrant 4G 1500 vs 1650 together with cm7 ..what a nice addition to everything talk time and stand by. My question is is there other models of Samsung phones have batteries that will fit my Vibrant that have higher than 1650 like new NExus phones or something ? Or may be someone knows a after market brand that selling batteries that actually higher not just on label ? Cause I tried this 3200 battery ..what a joke I'd say it got around 800 Mah in it :D

P.S.

I kinda feel bad for person with my 1500 battary in his Vibrant 4G now .....

Cut off where the plug starts to dip in.

Expose prongs on plug

Grab a 301k ohm resistor (or 3 100's and a 1k)

Touch to pins 4 and 5 (2 right most pins) and hold until screen appears

I had successfully tried a couple roms Inception1.2, Serendipity6.4,and Continuum5, but I know that I still am a noob. Wanting to update Continuum5, to v5 RC3 I attempted, as directed to update the kernel first, with ODIN using TalonDEV-0.1.2.tar. Initially connected to ODIN I placed the filename in the PDA box getting:

<ID:0/006> Removed!!

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

Phone went black and Odin made no indication of progress. I touched both vol & power buttons but did not hold them long. All this before it signaled 'failure'.

Now the phone display only shows an image of a phone dot-linked to a PC with an exception triangle mid way. Am I hopelessly bricked?

That's commonly called a soft-brick. You can either build/buy a JIG or try multiple times to get in download mode pulling the battery, plugging the usb, holding both volume buttons and putting in the battery (don't release the volume buttons).

If the 2nd option doesn't work, you'll need a JIG.
