I just downloaded Plex for my MacBook Pro. I added Netflix, HULU, etc, but I can't get them to play. Shows the options as being grayed out. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Edit: never mind, I'm an idiot and didn't double click.

total newb question inc in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. so where exactly does the media plex streams come from? once you have the media server set up on your pc, does it pull from website streams? and if so are these streams preloaded like channels? or does it only pull media from what you have installed on your pc? like if i wanted to watch season 1 of battlestar galactica would i have to have those episodes downloaded to my pc?

+5000 . I just purchased the app. Nd it's totally awesome. Hope to see the netflix and hulu stream from PC to tab in coming updates. This the best $4.99 you can spend for honeycomb based tablets.

I was adding the video plug-ins on my macbook pro to make sure it all worked before spending $5 on the Android app. Hulu and Netflix are NOT supported for Android, and the NBC plug-in is currently having issues where it will play audio but no video.

I ended up holding off on buying the app. At this point, I think I'm just going to get a sling box, hook it to my cable box, and get the $30 app for Android. Have a beautiful 10.1" display and can't use it to its full potential.. kinda annoying.
