Plex on a NowTV box?

Finally got that working today. I ignored the Movies and TV library options 
and set Home Videos (or whatever it is) for ..\my documents\my videos\ 
which means Plex doesn't attempt to do any "clever" recognition of each 
file. Hence file names don't need to comply with Plex naming rules.
