I can't find a guide on this anywhere. Whenever see updates to the changelog thread here, how do I get those updates? What is the update process? ---

Updating is really the same as installing in the first place but you do have 2 options. 1 Go to the Github web site for PlexCOnnect and DOwnload zip and replace contents of your PlexCOnnect folder (Maintaining settings.cfg, ATVSettings.CFG and your certificate files.  (STop and Restart PlexConnect) 2 Install Github on your machine and do a sync. (Stop and restart PlexConnect) ---

Thank you. I hope at some point someone will create a GUI for this to make it much easier to deal with. ---

Option 2 does have a UI. It’s the standard app from GitHub. Alternatively on Mac you could look may using plexify as it does handle updates (or that’s what I read anyway) ---

I’m going to create a how to soon for updating plexconnect as a one click solution on osx shortly that can be used without plexify if desired, it will be a do it yourself tutorial 😉 ---
