Looks good to me, is it working then? I assume you edited the plist to your needs prior to installing it.

It is working now.  Here what the problem was.  The master file has plex.plexconnect_daemon.bash.plist.

The OSXautostart file has plex.plexconnect.bash.plist.   That where my problem was .  The OSX file would not work at all. The daemon file did.  Thanks for all you help.

Weird everything looks fine on the main github installer, maybe you downloaded it prior to it being complete, strange:

now how do you check to see if it is running after a boot?

Whats your local ip, not wan ip obviously. This error response in the attached pic means its working, just enter in your local ip in safari to test after restart (post 72)

Read prev post.

33

ok. did not know if there was a way in terminal 

34

This is my surefire way to test that plexconnect is operational.

35

has this ever crashed on you?

The new daemon plist loaded via launchctl, so far no.

37

com.plex.plexconnect.bash.plist

createcert.bash
install.bash
remove.bash
plexconnect.bash

This is actually good...

See my 1st post in this topic, post #10:

>> I actually prefer the second solution, see branch "OSXautostart". It fully works within the launchctl world, running PlexConnect.py directly. We might shift this back into "master" once the last quirks are solved.

The "daemon" stuff is from the current master branch... but it is not working correctly in regards of honoring launchctl commands.

Ok. How do we stop plexconnect. If we do an update.

quick note: I rolled branch "OSXautostart" over into "master".

-> If you installed it from old branch master, do a "remove.bash" before downloading the new stuff... or manually delete the file "/Library/LaunchDemons/com.plex.plexconnect_daemon.bash.plist"
