The apple remote app on my iPhone no longer sees my apple tv. I have home sharing turned on as my apple tv can see my iTunes library on my mac. Any suggestions?
There was another thread about PlexConnect breaking Airplay... but this somehow turned out as a one-time issue. Please search here, not sure if there was more information in there.
Don't know what happened, but it is working fine now....weird. Haven't updated plex connect since the last time I tried.
It’s not necessarily a Plexconnect issue. This has happened to me before Plexconnect was ever installed. It happens less now since the iTunes 11.04 and ATV 5.3 updates.
This may well be a problem when forwarding on DNS requests that plex connect doesn’t handle. For example if your Apple TV browses to the Internet not looking for the trailers URL then plex connect passes the request onto whatever dns server you specified. If you didn’t specify one then it passes onto googles 8.8.8.8 address bypassing your router altogether. This might make the apple remote setting hang because it isn’t able to find any local devices because the plex connect is forcing the request from the Apple TV to google instead of your local router. I have plexconnect forward all other requests to my local router and everything works fine for me. Your local router is most likely 192.1681.1 or 192.168.0.1. Check those the DNA server setting in the settings.cfg file for plex connect set it to you local router address and restart plexconnect. I suspect it will fix your problems.
