Q: Display Maestro : Maunually Ending This Program's Running Process?
How do I MANUALLY end the "Display Maestro" program's running process? I say MANUALLY becuase it seems not a strait forward process of software removal.
I got the idea of using it on my Apple TV from: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6555305?start=0&tstart=0
My Goal: Watch Family Movies on My Apple TV via Home Sharing (Streaming) using a 3rd PARTY (Non-Apple) Program. Silly me for using it a 3rd party software.
I need to uninstall this program, but even dragging it into the trash, I cannot do so, as it gives me the popup window:
"This item "Display Maestro" can't be moved to the Trash because it's open."
Trying a Force Quit will not work, as it is not enlisted.
I downloaded it yesterday - but I seem to be having troubles running my MacBook Pro at high speed.
I use ESET Cyber Security, and I see Display Maestro enlisted in its Running Processes window.
Interestingly, I purchased Display Maestro yesterday and the ESET Cyber Security window of the Running Processes shows:
Under the "Time of Discovery" column, it says, "6 Months."
Under the "Application Bundle ID" column, it says, "com.koingosw.DisplayMaestro"
-------
Right-Clicking on Display Maestro's icon in my Applications finder window does not allow me to successfully select: "ESET Cyber Security - Add files to Quarantine"
-------
Any thoughts on deleting this program?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Intel i7 4GB RAM

Hi. Once you get that bad guy out of there, you should ask for help on what you're trying to do. It sounds like that app is an AirPlay substitute, but you mention Home Sharing (streaming) as if it was the same thing. Why did you particularly need a 3rd party app to play home videos? Make sure you do a full uninstall of DisplayMaestro, since it's liable to conflict with Apple AirPlay.
