Hi I do have following setup
OS X10.9.1 macbook
Atv 2,5 year old
sfversion 7.0.4
I am using https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-Mac were I am trying to install the app.
1. I don't have any problems when i will do the certifications
2 but when I try to:
sudo "/Applications/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.py"
It just won't accept my password
Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?
Regards Kaj
Do you have admin rights when logged in already - or are you "just" a user?
In the second case, you will need to login to an admin in the terminal first... like
login
sudo ...
There might be a direct way with on su/sudo command... I don't know. :-)
I do have adminstaror rights, so it is not that is not the problems, the keyboard also freezes after I have done the last command, but i can use the menu(copy and Paste) ?
The keyboard "freezes" at "sudo"? Really?
Try something simpler... like "sudo ls" to display the directory content as super user... does that work?
If you mean that its “freeze” when the terminal wants your password, this is normal.
Just enter your password and press Enter.
Terminal wont show any characters or * when entering the password.
"If you mean that its "freeze" when the terminal wants your password, this is normal.

So there is nothing wrong with this.
But I still gets an error wrong password, when I enter my password and hit enter?
It is the password to my laptop I should enter or maybe to my router or wifi?
It's the password of your current login (assuming the current active login has admin privileges).
It's normal to not see any characters appear in the terminal when typing in the password, it will just display "Password:" and verify the password after you hit enter. Check the screenshot for what it should look like (please notice the third line):
Open System Preferences and find the Users & Groups item.
Look under the Current User section. That is the user you are currently logged in as, and it will be the item selected by default.
Look at the right hand section, is the "Allow user to administer this computer" option enabled, i.e.; is there a tick mark against the option? If there is not then this could explain things. You need to have administrative permissions to use the 'sudo' command, and if that tick box isn't enabled, you're not an admin.
Click the padlock icon, it will pop up an authorization dialog, it should automatically filly out the username with the current user's name. If you just click the "Unlock" button, what happens? If it just shakes, then enter your password into the password field and click Unlock and see what happens.
Ok i did the above and I administrator, I did also click on the padlock button and did came for password it unlocks the settings.
But i tried to change my password save and restart the labtop and tried the hole thing one more time.This time it did accept the password but know it comes with this error: command not found.??
PS I am holding new year the next two days with my family and I will not answer your post in this period, but you can still make post and i will answer it in the new year.
HAPPY NEW-YEAR EVERYBODY!!!
If it comes back with the error "command not found" while entering "sudo /Applications/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.py" and it did ask for a password, then it's most likely that "/Applications/PlexConnect-master/PlexConnect.py" doesn't exist. This makes me wonder if you extracted the downloaded folder and dragged it into "Applications". Can you verify and confirm you performed this step?
On Danish Applications is called programmer
Change directory in terminal ( type “cd”, hit space, drag the folder to your terminal and hit enter) prior to entering “sudo ./PlexConnect.py”
Do not enter any quotation marks shown above!
I think it worked!!
