Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are running on Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 6. On March 30, 2015, Apple released Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 6 (build number 14D127a, “pre-release”). I positively tested it with an Apple TV 3 running on Apple TV 7.1 software and Apple TV 7.2 beta 3 software.
Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite adds the awaited new Photos app and the WiFi issues seem to be resolved with beta 6!
The following set up was used for testing:
- Plex (Version 0.9.11.17.986-269b82b/’Plex Pass only’, March 28, 2015)
