Luke Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 What patch is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 http://dosdude1.com/highsierra/ it appears to be a good option i may try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 UPDATE:So I took the plunge on to the razors edge and survived.The patch worked. http://dosdude1.com/highsierra/I am now running MacOS 10.13.1 on a mac mini 3,1 (late 2009)Internet is work well (no wifi as advertised) no problemInstalled the PIA app no issues working good.I have SMB working no issues.I have backed up my iphone and updated it to 11.0.3The emby server is installed, setup and scanning at this time.So far so good.Overall it is working amazingly well, all things considered.No, it is not super fast but very usable I think.I did have concerns with the security issue but ran across no bad reports, so what the hell.A few tips:1. My first flash drive had issues.2. Disconect all external drives other than the install drive.3. My mouse would stop working had to move to a different USB portother than that all appears to be swimming along very well.Hope this helps someone else.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamahito Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Looks like this will be my best option, too. Ideally, though, I'd rather run a headless version, perhaps using something like homebrew. Might this be a possible option in future for mac users to bypass both logging in and this sort of obsolescence issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I haven't' tried this workaround so I'm not quite sure, but perhaps @@izoser may have some insight? thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanni Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 it is a pity that there is not a version that works on the system before 10.12. Many 'old' Mac can not install newer systems than 10.11.6 El Capitan. All other Media Centers (Kodi, Serviio, Plex, UMS) work with 10.11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I have nothing against supporting the old version it's just that the runtime we are using requires 10.12+. If they are able to loosen up the restriction than so will we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanni Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 We can try to ask if you tell us who is developing the runtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 We are using the Microsoft .NET Core runtime. here's one ticket i found on github where someone mentioned a desire for 10.11: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/732 Apparently Apple changed the cryptography stack in 10.12, and Microsoft has done all of their HTTPS/SSL development based on this. For them to support 10.11 they will have to develop separately for it to support the older cryptography stack, and I'm guessing they don't want to do that.

Luke Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 However, .NET Core 2.1 has introduced a number of changes that make the runtime better, with fewer native dependencies. Maybe that would make supporting the older MacOS easier for them. You could try opening a ticket about it and see what they say, maybe they will re-evaluate.

yamahito Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Would it be possible to port the *nix server version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 We're using .net core on all platforms, so it is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
