first off i am sorry if i am posting the question that was asked million times before, i couldnt find a post related to it in my limited search so i am posting the question.
so i bought apple tv3 yesterday and i am trying to install plex server on my computer so i can run plex on my atv. i read a lot of fourms and few youtube videos on how to install plex. i sucessfully installed plex media server on my computer (192.168.0.199), downloaded and installed new plex connect master > aug 27. also i installed the new certificate on my atv but i cannot get plex to work. whenever i go on trailers, it thinks for a while and ask me to try again later. MyPlex is mapped and connected properly (thats what i think) i made some adjustment with my setting file
aTV will access port 53 (DNS), 80 (http), 443 (https). You only want to change those in settings.cfg if you do the port forwarding somehwere else.
this maybe a stupid question but how do i do that? if you are referring to restore original stock file it doent work at all. but i will make changes with ports as you mentioned above and let you know. thank you kindly i really appriciate it.
If the stock settings don't work (eg. as you have a DNSServer/WebServer running, use Internet sharing, whatever...), you really need to do A LOT on your side, outside of PlexConnect.
Download a new clean PlexConnect and start again without configuring any changes to PlexConnect.
If you then still get an issue post the info, it will be much easier to help you.
What does not work?

You definitely have something using port 80.
Reboot your machine, if that doesn’t work then look at the troubleshooting section on the wiki to help find out what is using the port.
It may be something like Skype (you can disable it from using port 80).

yes you were right i had iis installed, however i have completely removed it now. downloaded a clean plexconnect and PMS and my settings looks like this
oh and also i read in one of the other topics to try "\" and "/" in cert path, i tried them both. still no luck, i am lost any suggestion would be appriciated.

No need. Python is fine with "/" even on Windows.
You created the "cert", didn't you? Best thing... let the settings as shipped and just add the files into the PlexConnect/assets/certificates folder.
yes i created the cert file and installed it in the store, loaded up on the atv. i just changed the ip and cert file path in setting file. do you suggest i create another cert file and try that?
