Server Version#:0.9.15.1663  
Player Version#:??  
Hello,  
I try to run an older Version on an older Mac. Unfortunately There is no later version that runs on this OS. It is only to stream inside my LAN. I did not get any possibilities to configure it. Is there an option i have to select during the Installation?

Here are some pictures from the system
