Don't know if it was necessary, but when I installed the public beta, I transferred in my existing certificate files into the Plexify assets folder. Everything worked fine. Have not tried the restart/auto-launch situation.
Please give us your feedback
Your opinion is very important to us. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to evaluate changes and make improvements in Plexify!

It should generate certificate for you. Also, Plexify 1.1 uses PlexConnect from ~/Library/Application Support/Plexify/PlexConnect-master/ directory. You can open it from Preferences too.
Works as advertised on 10.9 enter the password once, nice app 
Guys, if someone tried the app on 10.7 and/or 10.8 please lemme know if it works or not. Also if it doesn't work attach logs from both PlexConnect and Plexify (using Console app). Thanks
Does this use the daemon file? If not, if you did it would solve the Plexconnect restart issue wouldn’t it?
Working great for me on 10.9.
Is there a way to completely reset the app ?

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding your question, there's no way to change the PlexConnect directory. It is designed to work that way.

Not yet, please check Known Bugs section
Everything working smoothly here on 10.9.
I think the tutorial at the beginning can be improved for newcomers. Arrow keys letting them know you can move from left to right would help navigation. Clicking on the dots doesn't seem too obvious. On the otherhand, the auto-install process was perfectly smooth. I had a problem getting the certificate sent to the ATV because at that point of the install Plexconnect hadn't already started. I had to manually click on the icon in the menu bar, press play and then send the certificate to the ATV. Anyway to make this easier for the end user? I knew what was wrong but some might not necessarily know off the bat. Those are the few things I've noticed.
Looking forward to auto-updates being implemented.
Cyberon, this is incredibly good work and will make it easy for many users to get plexconnect running. What a big contribution!
Just a thought... Does it matter what software version the ATV is running?
