Hi, I just updated my ATV3.  I installed a profile on my Apple TV but I'm struggling to get the PlexConnect server to start without an error.  Here's my log:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  I've put the trailers.pem certificate I made in the folder, updated Python and downloaded the newest version of PlexConnect.

OK I just figured this out, so if anyone finds it by Googling or whatever; use netstat - ano in the command prompt and find out if any process is using port 443.  I have VMWare installed on my PC and it was using the port, stopping PlexConnect from doing so.

Thanks for the info TheGreatDave. I also have VMware on my Windows 8 PC and it was using port 443 for the "share VM" feature. PlexConnect working perfectly now!
