Version: 3.3.20.505
El Capitan support work-around: Enable the Develop Menu in Safari prefs - Advanced. Then from the Develop Menu - User Agent choose Google Chrome Mac. You may have to restart Safari and re-select but with a little tinkering it works.

Version: 3.3.20.475
Why do Sling never release details of what they have changed in each update?
3.3.20.475 appears identical to the previous version. The drop down menu limitations I mentioned earlier have not been addressed.

Version: 3.3.19.438
This is a difficult product to use with my iPhone. Not handy and really not, to me, worth the effort.

Version: 3.3.19.434
3.3.19.434 has been available for the last four weeks. Why has it taken MacUpdate so long to post this?
One request: the pull-down menu from which you choose the SB you wish to use has a limit of five SBs. Beyond that number you have to scroll down every time to choose No. 6 or below. AND, unlike the SlingCatcher, the order in which you have previously used them is not retained. So, in my case, the one I use most (which happens to be No. 6) cannot be chosen without additional scrolling.
Why the five SB limit? Why not implement the same procedure as for the SC, i.e. the list is regenerated each time after use to reflect the order that matches your usage.

Version: 3.3.18.355
Version 3.3.18.355 is a HUGE step forward. I had despaired of the plugin ever being updated.
I use four Slingboxes in two different countries. Previously upon logging in I could not choose the Slingbox that I wanted. It would always automatically launch the one I last used. I had to cancel the launch before accessing a login page showing my four Slingboxes. Now all four can be found on the initial page in a drop-down menu and there is a proper Disconnect button to ensure that the connection is closed down properly.
The design of the new plug-in is far more appealing and much easier to manipulate. I just wish they'd add the DirecTV HR24 to their database; it is after all the most popular and widely used model . I guess that, now they are owned by EchoStar, they have a vested interested in skewing their product towards the Dish Network.
