I am currently installing 5.4 beta 1 on my atv3 will report back in a couple of min with the result.

If I bought a new ATV3 from Apple is there ways to revert back to older level of firmware - what is the current level of firmware ATV3 is it 6.x interested to know if plexconnect will work on the latest level of firmware

Plexconnect still works for me on 5.4 beta1 (ios7)

5.3 is the latest ios6 fw and plexconnect works there as well.

Christian,


Where did you find 5.4 beta 1.?

Christian,

Where did you find 5.4 beta 1.?

On my ios developer page =)

What about ATV3 firmware level though? Has anyone got this working on latest version?

This thread is about aTV firmware levels - no difference between aTV2 and aTV3.

Latest release: 5.3 // Current beta: 5.4 beta 1 according to Christian.

And just to clearify I have the latest beta on my ATV3 and it works like a charm.

Ok so would be fine to buy a brand new ATV3 from Apple Store - Plexconnect will work and be compatible with it? That’s all I want to know

Yes.

By the way, the most recent installed build is 5.2.1 not 5.3.

Out of interest do any of you use plexconnect on Linux platform - my plex media server runs on Ubuntu and ok 24/7 so would prefer to setup plexconnect from within Ubuntu

Ubuntu is mentioned in the supported/unsupported OS page on the wiki if you care to take a look.

F00b4r can you sent me a link please.... do you have this setup on Ubuntu? 

I have made the configuration changes as wiki, its the same setup as osx with the only exception being that you change the 8.8.8.8 address to 127.0.0.1 - I am going to be using wifi does that have additional configuration 

>> that you change the 8.8.8.8 address to 127.0.0.1

No way... that wouldn't work, would it?

So by doing that you are keeping dnsmasq still running?

@Baa I am running it on Ubuntu and as per the Wiki it states for Ubuntu you would replace the 8.8.8.8 in ip_dnsmaster in the settings.py with 127.0.0.1 (this is due to dnsmasq in Ubuntu) https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-guides

Hm. Okay. I guess I should read the installation guides... :-D

Take it you dont have this setup on Ubuntu?
