Plex Server a Hulu Delight

Things keep changing. The last time I tried to access Hulu on Plex it did not work if memory serves me. Vanilla Hulu is working fine right now and I am getting caught up on my Fringe episodes on my smallish big screen. Why do I care? Why not just access Hulu with the browser. Cool factor is probably the only reason. I do normally end up going back basics in the end. My gosh I hate the advertising.

Now if I could figure out how to rename a movie file and persuade Plex to find that file and forget the old one, I'd be all set.

Yes Plex streams fine over wifi online and from my server PC.

Plex is one easy and very cool server setup.

I really need to find a way to build a smaller HTPC instead of using my gigantic towers but living with a bunch of wires running all over appeals to my inner geek.

Front Panel USB 3 Add-on Works Great

I had installed a new motherboard into an old Antec case. No front panel USB 3 back then. So I bought a Mediapc 5.25" All-In-1 kitchen sink add-on. Very please with the USB 3 performance. Front panel audio doesn't work, no surprise here. When does that ever work? Anyway, it is not worth fooling around because I would use USB headset anyway. SD card reader works. Have not checked eSata yet. But USB 3 is a win.
