On March 10, 2014, Apple released the Apple TV 6.1 (6698.99.16) software update. PlexConnect is still running on Apple TV 6.1 (2nd and 3rd generation). I tested it right now and I can confirm it for my Acer Aspire 1810T running on Windows 8.1 Pro and my MacBook Pro 13” (Mid 2012) running on Mavericks. There was no need to change anything in the set up of  PlexConnect. Apple TV 6.1 delivers some security improvements and a new feature to arrange main menu items, especially unwanted channels.

Apple TV 6.1 update comes alongside the new iOS 7.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. That update added Apple CarPlay support, various bug fixes, and improved Touch ID responsiveness with the iPhone 5s.

The Apple TV software version was 6.0.2 (6646.81.1) before I updated my Apple TV 3rd generation:

After updating, the Apple TV software version shown is 6.1 (6698.99.16):

The new feature to arrange main menu items and hide unwanted Apple TV channels is shown here:

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

I am very delighted that PlexConnect is still running on the second Apple TV 6.1 update without any issues!

Stay tuned! 😉
