myPlex works a treat, and I've given a number of close friends and family access to my PMS. None of them are trying to view on an aTV box though, so not trying to hit PlexConnect. If your brother has other Apple devices, running a Plex client on that and then using Airplay to the aTV might be a simpler solution.
The auto start daemon is still in progress.
If you look through the forums long enough though, I’m pretty sure there’s a few work-arounds out there if your feeling impatient and want to go the DIY route- but I couldn’t tell ya how well they work.
The auto start daemon is still in progress.
It is working on Linux and very close to working on OSX:
https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/pull/182
Launchctl load com.plex.plexconnect.plist
Launchctl unload com.plex.plexconnect.plist
Works fine for me, might not be the daemon bash but is simple enough to implement with just plexconnect.py for the time being and makes plexconnect upgrades extremely easy to turn plexconnect on and off using launchctl on osx.
