When I click on Trailers it loads up the normal Apple trailers. It does not load up Plex.
 
Please can you help at all?
 
Thanks

Reboot the atv, sometimes the atv caches the DNS address and it won’t update until after a reboot.

Rebooted and still the same... 

Your PMS version is very old, try updating that.

Updated PMS to 0.9.7 (The Latest Version)

Still no luck. Either says trailers are unavailable or they load up as normal?

What should the True IP PMS be? The IP of the PMS Server?

Which version of PlexConnect are you running? Because newer versions are shut down with Control-C not Enter. I think you're using a really old version of PlexConnect.

He is running v0.1.

He could try updating that too the latest source.

Hi,

I updated to the latest version and still the same problem.

I know have to press Ctl C to Cancel. See logs below:

Can someone post working logs so I can compare?

Appreciate any help in advance

Ok under Windows Server you may need to create an inbound firewall rule for python.exe, you do have to on WHS 2011, but I'm not sure about Windows Server 2008. Give it a try anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion but I already created an inbound and outbound rule for Python.exe


Does anything else need to be aloud?

Also,  Why don't you update your AppleTV to 5.3?

Can you take screenshots of the rules, I have seen improperly created ones before that had the same symptoms.

Sure... Here are the firewall settings:

There is one exactly the same for Outbound too.

Updated ATV and still no luck. Any other suggestions?

Power cycle everything ATV pull plug for 10 seconds), PC and router.

Do you have any DNS entries in Windows or your router?

Do you have an third device with a web browser to help debugging? With PlexConnect running, try to direct the browser (smart phone, laptop) to your main machine (IP self): 192.168.0.203. Do you get an XML back? Or an Error? I guess, it should be error 403 - access denied or something.

With the same browser, what do you get back when accessing 192.168.0.203:32400? This should be the main PMS XML page... is this accessible?

So latest update i get this error.

This is after I set this up.

I was running IIS on here with the instructions but not a DNS Server...

I know its a very confusing set up.

In the end I have disabled both. IIS and DNS

==Summary==

-I have a Win2k8 Server running PMS (Version 0.9.7.28)

The IP of this server is 192.168.0.203

-I have created inbound and Outbound rule to allow Python.exe

-I have set my ATV's DNS to 192.168.0.203

-I then downloaded Python (version 2.7.5)

== Process ==

  1. I removed the power out of the ATV.
  2. Started Python.exe

I get the following logs:

20:20:43 PlexConnect: started: 20:20:43

I then click on Trailers and it loads up the normal default apple trailers.

Sorry for all the posts and appreciate any help.

Thanks
