Plex, PlexConnect And OpenPlex Running On Mac OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite Beta 6

Plex (v0.9.11.0, October 12, 2014), PlexConnect (new: v0.5, December 14, 2014) and OpenPlex (new: beta 0.4.2, January 15, 2015) running on Mac OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite beta 6 (build number 14C106a), released on January 22, 2015. I positively tested on an Apple TV 3 running on Apple TV 7.0.2 software. 

Mac OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite beta 6 is still not working perfectly! My MacBook Pro 13” End 2013 got still WiFi issues. The crashes after stand-by mode (black screen, not able to login after sleep mode or after opening the lid) on beta 3 were due to an incompatible AirParrot screen driver and are resolved by an AirParrot update.

Hence, I’m lucky that Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are working:

Note:

The latest Apple TV 7.0.2 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).

PlexConnect was updated on December 14, 2014 and is available for download.

PlexConnect v0.5 changelog (major improvements):

• Revamped Audio/Music handling (for iOS>=7.0. That version got a new XML audio player… thanks Beats!)

• Save ATVSettings.cfg after changes

Further more, OpenPlex beta 0.4.2 was updated with major improvements on January 15, 2015, and is available for download, now as an installer app:

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: Installing PlexConnect On Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 After Apple TV Update

Finally, I am very delighted that the latest Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are still running on Mac OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite beta 6 without any issues! However, Mac OS X 10.10.2 must be improved compared to the 6th beta version…

Stay tuned! 😉
