I had not to re-install OpenPlex.

The OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 update improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac. The focus areas areĀ Graphics,Ā Mail,Ā Wi-Fi,Ā Calendar,Ā USB,Ā Notes,Ā Photos andĀ Spotlight.

Due toĀ improvedĀ OS security, you must disableĀ theĀ System Integrity ProtectionĀ ‘csrutil’, also called “rootless” before installing or updating OpenPlexĀ (the latest 0.6 version dated November 10, 2015 should do this automatically) or OpenPlex Lite. Here’s the System Integrity Protection fix (but be aware that you’re loosing security! Re-activate it after Installation!):
