… as stated both by the TV settings (greyed out) and in PlexConnect’s log on startup, or restart for that matter. Helpful reference found on neither its wiki nor this forum but for OpenPlex 0.6 which then must be, I suppose, the one way to go to display posters and backgrounds.
The installer however stalls right after launch whether from out- or inside /Applications, ctrl-C’ing PlexC’s running instance first, and a console message reads:

Awaiting suggestions to get unstuck here, including explicitly ones that exclude OPlex - fingers crossed.
Good chance I need to update more code to make the pillow installer work again. Give me a bit and I will push an update for this also. I will let you need when its fixed so you can update the app. Re-install the app using the latest installer and it should fix this issue:
Firstly, what a speedy response. Too bad then this time a console message appears right after launch, reading:
! 10 11 15 16:55:46.726 OpenPlex-installer[50042]: *** -[AppDelegate applicationWillFinishLaunching:]: fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘PlexConnect’.: Permission denied (error 128)
Works fine for me. Well couldn’t tell ya what is up with your OS but like I said you can run the pillow script w/o OpenPlex. OpenPlex can’t fix your OS “if” its corrupted or running some unknown file manger/odd filesystem. Are you trying to install this on tiger 10.4.x?

Only 10.6.x+ 64bit versions of OS X are supported. As it states on the OplexPlex topic first post:
Sorry for any confusion the sig causes. My initial post’s PS too intends to clarify:
Apple TV 3, model A1469, software 7.2 (7512), dns 192.168.26.1
PlexConnect 0.5-dev-211015 (Friday, November 6 2015, 11:10) on 192.168.26.1, iMac 24-inch Early 2009, OS X 10.9.5 (13F1134)
Plex Media Server 0.9.12.19 on ditto …
… which is the machine that OpenPlex’s installer sadly fails on.
After ample consideration of your app’s convenience, besides the ‘eye candy’ that is, I’d much prefer to avoid the cumbersome Terminal altogether. Therefore, still hoping you can better the script alternative you most kindly put across.
No problem just wanted to make sure you got up and running (hopefully with fanart) with or w/o the app. There is a wiki here also on installing PlexConnect manually on OS X (if you weren’t aware already):
I understand some users have business machines, files that could be lost or other reasons why reinstalling or debugging the OS just to get an app to work is not worth their time/effort. Hope everything works out for you…
O my, more confusion it seems (& some of it mine).
PlexConnect does indeed run alright, but does not offer up any eye candy whatsoever to the TV for lack of PIL - as per topic’s subject and initial post’s opening lines. Enter OpenPlex, or so I wish, to avoid that command line nuisance.
Don’t get me wrong please, not pushing anything, just curious how PMS fares in that respect too compared to iTunes. Both are streaming gloriously.
Guess its just a preference really. I like using PlexConnect so I can access my content while I travel streaming via Plex Media Server. I have a 15TB raid array synced with Plex Media Server full of content I don’t want to carry with me
I may have time later, install teamviewer and click my name & send me a personal message with your login info if you want me to take a peek. Im thinking around 8pm central time USA I would be available.
Managed to install PIL thru OpenPlex after all. It appears that the procedure requires being actually logged in to an administrator account, rather than just entering the appropriate password.
