Upgrade Notes:

For 1.70.0 and above:

• Just uninstall the older version and install the newer one.

For versions prior to 1.70.0:

• It is recommended to back up and remove your old PMS.conf and re-enter and save your settings (if any) in the GUI. Alternatively (e.g. if you have a large number of customizations you wish to preserve), see the upgrade notes for previous major releases (e.g. 1.50.0, 1.60.0 etc.) for migration instructions.

Hello,

i've downloaded the v.1.80.0 and i'm not the only one having the problem that my ps3 or smart tv doesn't connect to my iMac. I recently updated my iMac with the Java title update 7. Any news when a patch hits? Thanks in advance.
