On September 17, 2015, Apple released Mac OS X 10.11.1 El CapitanĀ beta 1 Ā (build number 15B17c, (‘pre-release’).Ā IĀ positively tested it with an Apple TV 3 running onĀ Apple TV 7.2 software.Ā Find more about Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan on Apple’s Website. In contrast to OS X 10.11 El Capitan GM, I had NOT to re-install OpenPlex.Ā There seem to be no big changes to OS X 10.11 El Capitan GM.

Due toĀ improvedĀ OS security, you must disableĀ theĀ System Integrity ProtectionĀ ‘csrutil’, also called “rootless” before installing or updating OpenPlex or OpenPlex Lite. Here’s the System Integrity Protection fix (but be aware that you’re loosing security! Re-activate it after Installation!):

The following set up was used for testing:

  • Upgraded OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan beta 1 with disabled System Integrity Protection ‘csrutil’.
  • Plex (Version 0.9.12.12.1459-49fe448 / September 11, 2015)
