#Plex media player os x software#
Here are the highlights why this media center software made particularly good first impression.The library functionality seems to integrate very well with my existing iTunes library making podcasts and music instantly available. This file can also be printed at runtime when using the -licenses option.I recently discovered Plex Media Center which looks extreme potential to take the prime slot on my Mac Mini’s desktop. Licenses of dependencies are summarized under resources/misc/licenses.txt. Plex Media Player is licensed under GPL v2. You can disable use of SLD with -DENABLE_SDL2=off (it's used for some remotes). This is not supported and will lead to build failures. Sometimes, PMP will pick up SDL 1.x libraries.

Normally, the Ninja generator (via -GNinja) is preferred, but cmake + ninja support appears to be broken on Ubuntu 16.04. If you use your distro's Qt, use -DQTROOT=/usr or similar. You should now be able to start PMP as plexmediaplayer from the terminal.

In particular, it does not install or use FFmpeg libraries. With this, libmpv should have been installed to /usr/local/. rebuild -j4 (this steps checks out all sources and compiles them and takes a while)

Here are instructions how to build them locally. It's recommended to build a current version, or to get them from 3rd party sources (some are listed on ). While most distros have FFmpeg and mpv packages, they're often outdated. (Untested whether this works reliably.) Building mpv and ffmpeg On Windows and OSX, you can omit the -DQTROOT argument to use the Qt built by Plex. Otherwise, download a supported Qt version from qt.io. If your distro provides a Qt 5.9.5 package, try to use it. Systems not based on Debian/Ubuntu will have similar packages, but you'll need to figure out their names yourself.
