I have a very similar setup to his, but using a Pioneer display. Plex can’t be used as a DVR at this time. Most users acquire their content using other means.

I have a question. I have a sony crt 1080p TV and running plex through a 2009 mac mini 2.26 with gig’s of ram connected to a drobo via fire wire 800. I sometimes get a milli sec pause or frame drop. It seems to happen with avi dvd rips. What are the proper or best settings for plex. Is this a common problem if not what am i doing wrong. Is it the Tv do I need a newer tv. Help

@spongerrich… No, I mostly download my content (from teh torrentz…shhh!) for archiving purposes after my TiVo records them. I’m keeping an eye on the Hulu/etc plugins for media center apps like Plex, though, and I think one day they’ll be good enough for me to stop downloading and storing the shows myself.

@Doanius… Yeah I did have some resolution issues at first. After fighting with it in OS X for awhile (which can indeed output the proper resolution), I finally read somewhere that it was actually a TV setting you need to change to get it all to line up right. I can’t remember exactly what the setting was called (and it will vary from TV to TV anyway), but it was something like “Enable 1:1 pixel mapping” or something like that. Just play with the settings while on the input for your Mini and you should be able to make it work.

Matthew, I am thinking of buying a mac mini and doing what you are doing with Plex. Awesome setup by the way. My question is that did you have any issue with resolution and icons/menu bar/ doc going beyond the TV resolution. In the past, playing with windoze and TV resolution, it was a major pain because TV resolution doesn’t always match with video card resolution.
