thank you, one more question. How can I tell if Plex Connect is running on my Mac? I installed it so it should automatically start on boot but I want to test it to make sure it's running.
connect to it via the ATV is the best, but you could also look at the running processes
I get 65 when I check it, does that mean it's working?
65 - com.plex.plexconnect.bash
I have a jailbroken ATV2 that is working fine with Plex but I want to update to the latest software. I want to make sure this part is working before I mess with it.
65 is the current PID. Everything is fine.
An startup error would be signaled by something like "- 1 com.plex.plexconnect.bash".
thank you all. After 2 to 3 years I finally updated my ATV2, I was on 4.4.something and was using the jailbreak version to run PLEX. Updated to 6.2 and running PLEX Connect now.
You guys are great!!
One more question...
My parents have an ATV3, if I want to to the same thing to theirs, do I have to install PMS on there computer or just PLEX Connect?

If they are only going to access your PMS, then they only need Plexconnect, sign into myPlex with an account you have shared your content too, and they will be able to watch your media, these will show under Shared Libraries rather that Library like you see.
But then I personally would swap the aTVs: aTV2 at parents house, jailbroken with PlexConnect installed. aTV3 at your house with local PlexConnect on your PMS machine...
Two Advantages: Your parents don't need to run another machine. You get 1080... :-D
