    Plex, PlexConnect And OpenPlex Running On OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite Beta 2

    Plex icon with Apple TV logoPlex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are running on Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2. On July 30, 2015, Apple released Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2 (build number 14F19a, “pre-release”). I positively tested it with an Apple TV 3 running on Apple TV 7.2 software. In contrast to beta 1, I had to re-install OpenPlex. Referring to the release notes, the Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2 update improves the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac. The focus areas are the Mail and Photos app. There seem to be no big changes to OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite.

    Important: Apple changed the URL for the WSL app from secure.marketwatch.com to video-api-secure.wsj.com. Until Plexconnect is updated, you can use the WSJ app via OpenPlex again following this tweak, or use the updated version of OpenPlex from June 20, 2015 (details see below):

    1. In settings.py change line 35 from (‘hosttointercept‘ , (‘trailers.apple.com‘, ‘[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+‘)), to (‘hosttointercept‘ , (‘trailers.apple.com‘, ‘[a-zA-Z0-9_.–]+‘)), to allow “-” at host URL.
    2. Delete the old certificate files on your Mac and on your Apple TV.
    3. Download Wahlman.j’s new ones and copy them in the folder ‘Certificates’ on your Mac.
    4. Install Wahlman.j’s theme and hijack WSJ app.
    5. Install the new certificate file on your Apple TV via WiFi method with that URL for WSJ: https://your_Mac’s_IP/trailers.cer
    6. Restart your Apple TV and OpenPlex.

    The following set up was used for testing:

    • Plex (Version 0.9.12.7.1356-7f37aa9 / ‘Plex Pass’ only, July 30, 2015)
    • PlexConnect (v0.5-dev, December 14, 2014)
    • OpenPlex (beta 0.5, June 20, 2015)
    • Apple TV 3 / 3rd generation (Model number A1427 – AppleTV3,1 – MD199LL/A)
    • MacBook Pro 13” Late 2013

    Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are working on Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2:

    Plex-PlexConnect-OpenPlex on Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2
    Plex-PlexConnect-OpenPlex on Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2

    Note:

    The latest Apple TV 7.2 software is only available for Apple TV 3 3rd generation (Model number A1427 – AppleTV3,1 – MD199LL/A) and Apple TV 3 3rd generation rev a (Model number A1469 – AppleTV3,2 – MD199LL/A).

    Plex Media Server was updated on July 30, 2015 (w/o ‘Plex Pass’).

    Plex Version 0.9.12.7.1356-7f37aa9 changelog:

    • New:
      • (Web) Restore the player on launch if the app was playing when page was reloaded/closed.
      • (Web) Added shuffle and repeat modes to the music player.
      • (Web) Added an “Allow Channels” restriction for shared users.
    •  Fixes:
      • Deleting media files moves them to trash (restoring old behavior).
      • Manually specfied ports for remote access are sent to the cloud correctly.
      • Upgrades work properly for Drobo, Thecus, Ubuntu and other platforms.
      • Fixed a case where hitting APPLY button showed no remote access incorrectly.
      • In some rare cases, multiple versions of a plugin could be started at once.
      • (Web) Prefer AAC by default in Microsoft Edge.
      • (Web) Better expose the enable / disable buttons in Remote Access.

    PlexConnect v0.5 changelog (major improvements):

    • Revamped Audio/Music handling (for iOS>=7.0. That version got a new XML audio player… thanks Beats!)
    • GUI improvements: Fanart, Backgrounds… (needs PIL/Pillow library for Python)
    • Playlists support (video/audio): continuous play, shuffle, also for TVShow/Season/Episodes
    • Save ATVSettings.cfg after changes

    Further more, OpenPlex beta 0.5 was updated with some improvements on June 210, 2015, and is available for download as an installer app:

    Openplex beta 0.5 Changelog:

    Wahlman.j updated OpenPlex to fix the issue with the new WSJ-URL.

    • New GUI by CyberGhost84.
    • Added boot lock button to app to enable all apps to load @ boot e.g. Plex Media Server and then locks the screen to prevent unauthorized access to your mac while still loading all the apps.
    • Removed “mute boot” button.
    • Add icon upload video tutorial.
    • Simplified hijack tab into one window with Apple TV setup guide.
    • Fixed bug in reboot OS X option in WebConnect.
    • Fixed bug in myplex loader.
    • Fix WSJ to use new URL in codebase – Credit goes to @rrgeorge for allowing “-” in hosttointercept
    • Remove custom fork by wahlman.j of CyberGhost84’s old theme
    • Move development theme into custom slot for Wahlman.j’s theme
    • Disable preview of wahlman.j’s theme until uploaded to youtube
    • Fix myplex & custom certs autoloading when manually or automatically loading custom hoststointercept’s
    • Addded custom hosttointercept cert generator
    • Added custom hosttointercept Settings.cfg generator
    • New hijack icons
    • 10.10.5 WebConnect button added for new apache2 httpd.conf
    • Moved about notes to about page
    • Moved instructions to Settings tab

    If you are new to PlexConnect then follow the work around to get PlexConnect running on your Apple TV:

    • For Mac OS X: PlexConnect On Windows 8 And OS X 10.8.4: Plex Media Server On Apple TV 2 And 3 Without Jailbreak
    • For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1: Installing PlexConnect On Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 After Apple TV Update
    • For Windows 10: How To Install PlexConnect On Windows 10

    Finally, I am very delighted that the latest Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are still running on Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite beta 2 with hijacking Trailers, iMovie and WSJ app!

    Stay tuned! 😉
