- FireFly (iTunes) server added
- Apache frontend added

Remarks: GPU temp for Nvidia cards isn’t displayed correctly. I’ll look into this.
After a long period Plex 9 is finally released. Plex a clone of the XBMC project and only works for Mac OSX. Most interesting feature is the ability to play and stream content from every apple computer you installed Plex on.
Another interesting feature is the iOS app which is available at the App Store. With this App you can remotely control Plex, iTunes and iMovie. For Mac owner definitely a try!

Nvidia released a new version of it’s stable linux driver.
- Fixed a bug that prevented XvMC from initializing in most cases.
- Added support for xorg-server video driver ABI version 8, which will be included in the upcoming xorg-server-1.9 series of releases.
- Fixed a bug that caused extremely slow rendering of OpenGL applications on X screens other than screen 0 when using a compositing manager.
- Fixed a regression introduced after 256.35 that caused stability problems on GPUs such as GeForce GT 240.
- Fixed a slow kernel virtual address space leak observed whenstarting and stopping OpenGL, CUDA, or VDPAU applications.
- Fixed a bug that left the system susceptible to hangs when running two or more VDPAU applications simultaneously.

XBMC SVN is fixed!! New livecd’s are on it’s way!!
The XBMC SVN repository is still broken at the moment. Ceros is busy with some cleaning. In the meantime I cannot create new livecd’s.
The developers from Plex posted a new video where the latest features are demonstrated. Quite nice is to see that it’s possible to share databases with content among other Plex systems. To see the full video use the link below:
