Re your mouse I found the mouse didn't seem to work on the plex interface at all even though it does work on other screens, I don't know if it's a configurable setting or a deliberate choice by plex as part of the ten foot interface thing... I've only just installed so have't had much time to play yet. I'm currently using it on a Mac mini with a Apple remote which works very well. You could try a dongle to extend range but I would suggest it might well cause interferance with the inbuilt one, also the extending cable may not be entirely compatible:I've had a wireless dongle fail to work on an extension. An alternative might be a new mouse. I have a Logitech bluetooth mouse which I find has an excellent range and would heartily recommend it, a V470:<br />http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wireless-Bluetooth-Laser-Laptop/dp/B000T5IUTOPFogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252988724221833138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924535194896217058.post-54398230674296029932012-04-15T12:02:09.529+01:002012-04-15T12:02:09.529+01:00hi Phil,
thanks for the article, it's very us...hi Phil,<br /><br />thanks for the article, it's very useful having this kind of overview. i find the App sites often get too cluttered with specifics and details to get this wider view across.<br /><br />i tried Plex a few years ago, but didn't really take to it. it seems to have moved on in scope now though so i might try again.<br /><br />One reason it wasn't very useable in the past was my magic mouse range, despite claiming 33ft, it struggled with 15ft across my living room. Do you think i'd be able to use a USB extension cable and a bluetooth dongle to extend the range physically ? How would it interact with the bluetooth antenna already in my mac mini ? if you think it would work, any recommendations on a good dongle ?<br /><br />many thanks<br /><br />RichRich Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065233950785192358noreply@blogger.com
