OpenPlex Lite automatically installs and manages PlexConnect on your Mac to get Plex Media Server streaming on your Apple TV. In contrast to OpenPlex, OpenPlex Lite is an app for the everyday user who are not in the need of a lot of extra function, as the creator “stoffez” states in the OpenPlex Lite about section. For superior requirements, OpenPlex, developed by ‘Wahlman.j’ (Source Code), ‘CyberGhost84’ (GUI) & ‘Flipman6’ (Obj-C), is the right choice.
OpenPlex Lite is an open source app that will automatically install PlexConnect by cloning PlexConnect into ‘…/Applications/PlexConnect‘ on your Mac to enable easily generate any desired certificate file (trailers, wsj, or iMovie), hijacks desired Apple TV apps (Trailers, wsj, or iMovie) without Mac terminal. Furthermore, OpenPlex Lite is running on up to Mac OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite beta 4.

The OpenPlex options are:
- Start PlexConnect – Starts PlexConnect if its stopped

Hi Matteo,
I don’t know, but I assume it will work. Search die PlexConnect-Forum and if you do not find an answer, post a question there.
Cheers,
