AArgh plexconnect driving me nuts lately.

I`ve had plexconnect some 6 months installed and its been reasonably realiable , but the last few weeks its suddenly started playing up.
Started with getting the dreaded "trailers unavailable" which resulted in me getting up whilst muttering how crap technology is and go upstairs to the pc 3 or 4 times restarting plexconnect and eventually it would work.
 

But now this weeks new issue is that its gone incredibly slow, taking some 30 seconds between menus and then not actually being able to play anything. I saw some suggestions

about adding or removing the plex login but neither my login or just "*" worked for me.

Anyway, heres my log. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated,otherwise i`m off to buy a Roku 3 ;-)

Apologies, seem to have fixed it. I noticed there was myplex_user = * in the .cfg that i`d changed to my plex user login. Restoring it back to the * seems to have worked.

Think about updating Python to 2.7.x...
