Plex Media Server - Transcoder Preview: 0.9.17.0
– (OS X) Mac OS versions 10.6 and 10.7 are no longer supported.
No, no, NOOOOOOOO! Don't drop support for Snow Leopard!!!
Snow Leopard was the last version of OS X that was worth a damn: the best, most trouble-free OS Apple ever released, the veritable WinXP of Mac!
Ever since:
– Wi-Fi is unreliable
– Mail is unreliable
– Networking is unreliable
– Safari is unreliable
– The new system font causes eye strain within minutes of use
– The interface looks like it’s from McDonalds
– Text is blurry
Now we understand completely that Apple has made it very hard for developers to support all but the very latest versions of OS X, but this isn't a question of us being too lazy to upgrade, or legacy apps. Rather, it's that Apple has thrown us under the bus, beginning with 10.7, in terms of usability, functionality, and the user-friendly GUI to which we'd become accustomed. Snow Leopard is the Windows XP of Apple: the last OS worth a damn.
For this reason, Snow Leopard's installed base is still greater than that of Lion and Mountain Lion:
Look at all the other developers who continue to release Snow Leopard-compatible titles every single day!

Please reconsider: keep the old Xcode & SDKs around and go to the extra trouble of maintaining Snow Leopard support! Many are holding on to Snow Leopard for dear life:
