Apple TV - Stuck at Accessing Trailers...

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

Hello all,

 

I managed to create the certificates as below;

 

trailers.cer

trailers.key

trailers.pem

 

I put them under

 

PlexConnect\assets\certificates

 

I installed the trailers.cer to Apple TV via USB and iPhone Configuration Utility. I can see it in Apple TV Profiles...

 

I opened the necessary ports in my router as; 53, 443, 2080 (I chose this one as web port) and 32400...

 

I changed the Apple TV network DNS as my Computer's IP where Plex Media Server is running.

 

But when I enter the Trailers on my Apple TV I am stuck at "Accessing Trailer"... It takes quite a long time, and at the end it says "Trailers unavailable. Try again later"...

 

Where do I do wrong?

 

Regards

I forgot to add, I am able to watch movies on my Plex Media server on my iPad via VLC Player...

Anyone?

3 hours and already nervous?

You can't just change the port PlexConnect is listening to (80 vs. 2080). Your aTV will still request data over port 80... just PlexConnect wouldn't be able to answer.

If you NEED to change that port, you have to make sure to install port forwarding and stuff as well.

Thank you for your reply...

When I try the port 80 I get the error below;

WebServer : Failed to connect to port 80 (http): [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

I already forwarded the port 80 on my router...

Also I can see the intercept requests, I think that means Apple TV is able to communicate PlexConnect.py ?

 >>intercept requests

Those are the DNS requests (Port 53). Set loglevel to High, and check the log file for "serving..." lines. They might give some hints about the port 443/80 connectivity.

I don’t see any intercept requests in those images, just the info of what is to be intercepted.


Additionally where in the install instructions is the need to port forward on your router? Having port 53 open to the outside is very dangerous.(unless you know how to secure it)


With the message about failed to connect to port 80, this means something else on your plexconnect machine is using that port. As Baa said the ATV will only use port 80 so to use something else you need to do the advanced setup and have vhosts etc. To forward port 80 to your chosen port.


To be more specific about jests using port 80 you will need to post all the information In the pinned “Read before posting” thread specifically the how to report a problem, so we have the details about your setup

Thank you for your reply. Indeed something else was using the port 80... I managed to clear the port 80 and now I can see the trailers... Great!... :)
