Question Anybody using PlexMedia with their iTunes/Smart TV?

OK, having some difficulty getting PlexMedia (DLNA) to get iTunes to talk with my Smart TV.

Works fine using my iPad with the TV, but most of my music is on my Mac Pro.
It makes reference to the fact that iTunes doesn't really like playing ball with anything other than Apple (quelle surprise!), but you can point the PlexMedia to the .xml file in the iTunes folder - which is meant to force it to work.
So far I've had no joy.

Anybody got experience of using this?


Thanks in advance,

DAn

Thanks for that - already downloaded it (along with TV mobili).

Got plexmedia working, but won't go on my old G5 DP, so might look at the others.
