First off, thank you so much for your (as you put it) proof of concept for Plex Media server plug in. It's exactly what i was looking for - streaming a non-local media library from a mac iTunes on the local network. I had tried smb sharing from the mac to the windows 7 htpc but I really like having iTunes on my mac handle all the media, tagging, artwork, etc.
i installed it on both my atv2 and regular htpc running windows 7 (core 2 duo 2.2ghz 4 gigs ram etc)
it actually runs quite well on the atv2, no hiccups and tracks start a few seconds after buffering...
what doesn't work as well is the win7 htpc... the process of skipping songs or starting a new song, there is a 30 pause of the start of the song, in what i think is a buffering of the song.... i've attached my .log for the windows7 machine... thanks for the work!
