Plex,Ā PlexConnectĀ andĀ OpenPlexĀ are runningĀ on Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 7. On April 2, 2015, only three days after theĀ latest update beta 6, Apple released Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 7 (build number 14D130a, āpre-release”).Ā IĀ positively tested it with an Apple TV 3 running onĀ Apple TV 7.1 softwareĀ and Apple TV 7.2 beta 3Ā software. However, hijacking of iMovie app and WSJ app does only partially work! The library cannot be accessed with Apple TV 7.2 beta 3Ā software!
Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite adds the awaited new Photos appĀ andĀ the WiFi issues seem toĀ be resolved with beta 7!
The following set up was used for testing:
- PlexĀ (Version 0.9.11.17.986-269b82b/’Plex Pass only’, March 28, 2015)
- PlexConnectĀ (v0.5-dev, December 14, 2014)
- OpenPlexĀ (beta 0.5, March 28, 2015)
- Apple TV 3 /Ā 3rd generation (Model numberĀ A1427 – AppleTV3,1 – MD199LL/A)
- MacBook Pro 13” Late 2013
Plex, PlexConnect and OpenPlex are working on Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 7, but only with hijacking Trailers app in all combinations:
- Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 7 + Apple TV 7.1 software: all OK
- Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite beta 7 + Apple TV 7.2 software beta 3: Trailers OK, WSJ and iMovie NOK
