Plex Media Center for OS X Leopard

The Apple Movie Trailers plugin defaults to 720p. Is your bandwidth lacking the oomph to keep up with them? Or do you want to go all out with 1080p trailers? Well you’re in luck, because you can adjust this option!

While making sure the Plex Media Server is running, open Safari on the computer that Plex is installed on, and visit this url:

http://localhost:32400/video/amt/:/prefs/set/VideoQuality/480p

Swap out “480p” with one of the following options: small, medium, large, 480p, 720p, and 1080p. These are the normal quality options you’re familiar with on Apple’s Trailer site.

POWER NOTE: When a trailer is only available in a resolution lower than your preference, the quality will fall back to that quality. But if a trailer is only available in a quality that is higher than your preference, it will not play.

Ok, so you’ve updated Plex, you’ve downloaded the Hulu plugin, and your life is great right? Well I’m about to make it even better.

Close Plex and open Safari. Go to http://www.hulu.com and log in or register for a new account. Once you’re logged in, go to your profile and choose Privacy and Settings.

Now scroll down and look on the left hand side for Video Settings. Select YES, that you want to automatically receive the  480p streams.
