so open connect is working great for me now.
But its very strange. I got rid of all the other plexconnect installs i had lying around and restarted a few times just to make sure and the aTV is getting plex, but i swear there is no plexconnect plist anywhere like there is supposed to be.
OpenConnect installs a plist for you in /library/launchdaemons
com.plex.plexconnect.bash.plist
Im looking into the other issue it looks like its a issue with automator not able to find git for some weird reason. Im trying to force the app to find git to prevent errors. Right when I thought it was finally done another issue pops up lol.
Found part of the fix:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin/
Im looking into it, weird that it would work on one but not the other even though its the same osx version on both macs.
You have git installed I assume?
Umm I don't. Shouldn't OpenConnect prompt me to install git if it is not installed?
the plist is indeed in that directory. but it is not in the output of 'launchctl list'
On some versions of OSX it will not prompt you. If it doesn't just install git from here:
http://git-scm.com/download/mac
Im about to push a fix to the app.
Ok give the new app a try git should be fixed now if you have git installed. Update OpenConnect via the app or the OP.
My apologies I wasn't aware git was an issue when I pushed the last app to dropbox.

hi there,
I will give a try later this weekend. Heading out for dinner with the fam :-) I promise I will post my results. Thanks again!
Looks like I can install PlexConnect in under 1 minute now without terminal :D

and I counted 137284 popups, and that's even on a mac! :P ;)
OpenConnect now has a multi-cert generation option and will modify your settings.cfg automatically when hijacking the following apps:
trailers
imovie
wsj
If you have existing certs it will skip cert generation and still modify settings.cfg for you when hijacking your desired app. Also git has been included as a button upon startup for easy installation.
Taking suggestions for modifying the app if need be. :D
Is there a way to stop ATV3 to update automatically so that when a new update comes it won't update and break Plexconnect?
Thats already built-in to the main code in the settings.cfg file thats generated upon first run:
[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 192.168.178.10
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = True
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
prevent_atv_update = True <--------------------Here
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .
Does this work with 10.6??

Only one way to find out 
If it does let me know what osx version exactly.

@1975jamie Maybe Plexify 1.2 might have support for 10.6.8 (fingers crossed)
Lol, back at it huh? Well I sure hope he doesn't charge for his helper ios/android apps. Hopefully he can open it up to any device like WebConnect free of charge the way it should be. Hopefully you can actually update the code like OpenConnect can and have a multi-cert installation option to have a choice of which app to hijack. Hopefully PlexConnect can be installed in a much easier to find folder so users can manage the code easily if needed. Hopefully when your in terminal and you type sudo su it doesnt expose root without typing a password anymore. Hopefully he can actually stick with it this time and this will drive innovation for better apps, guess in time we will see. Hopefully he can improve on his update process this is just painful to look at:
stop plexconnect via plexify
quit plexify
open terminal
sudo su
# enter password if it even prompts you
cd /users/user/library/application support/plexify
git pull
quit terminal
open plexify
start plexconnect via plexify
Compared to OpenConnect's click to update option:
OpenConnect is built making sure all the features work properly and system security is uncomprimised, not cosmetics on how nice the app looks.
Looks like I can install PlexConnect in under 1 minute now without terminal :D
I can do it in under a minute USING terminal. :-D
How is that?
I agree, terminal is quick when you know what you are doing. Some users are afraid to use/learn terminal and/or want a gui, to each their own I guess. PlexConnect is still the brains of the operation all the magic happens on the Apple TV. I wouldn’t of been able to design OpenConnect without reverse engineering/borrowing some of your code. :ph34r: I hope you don’t mind.
I just pushed a minor update to make cert generation easier/faster to remove certs to allow fast switching of hijacked apps eaiser if desired. Grab the update via the app or on the OP.
No, I don't mind.
Actually, looking what you guys are doing can give hints and pull triggers on how other things could be done (differently). I guess everything here can help for learning new interesting stuff...
Automatic updating has just been implemented as an option to the guide portion of OpenConnect.
