Unable to remove customer/subscription

When trying to remove a customer or subscription, you may get this error message in Plesk: Unable to find service node for web service on domain with id=xxx This was supposed to be fixed in 10.4.4 MU #13 but isn’t in all cases.

Select an IP address, you’ll also have to reset the password. Once you do this, you should be able to remove the customer and subscription.

Playing downloaded H.264 content on an unjailbroken Apple TV 2

H.264 content out there in the wild is often produced using the open source x264 encoding library. This article focuses on playing that content back on your Apple TV 2 in an unjailbroken state. This article presumes you have purchased legal copies of the movies you’ve downloaded on DVD or Blu-Ray and are too lazy to rip them yourself, or are unable to do so due to hardware/time constraints. The Apple TV 2 is not able to playback .mkv files, so we are going to re-wrap the video and audio tracks into an .m4v container which the ATV can playback.
