When I launch Trailers (plexconnect) it says it can’t find any libraries. It worked just a few days ago. I am running latest PlexConnect which I made sure to update just in case that was the problem. I did update to the latest version of PMS (0.9.12.18) a few days ago so that might be the problem. Anyone who can confirm this?
On Apple TV if I login to my plex account it shows me I have 0 PMS servers online. Which I find strange as when I log out says there is 1 server online.
I made sure to delete the plexconnect version just in case that was the problem but even with a freshly installed version I get the same error. I made sure to logout from plexconnect and PMS and then login again just to make sure that everything is connecting properly. Apple TV still don’t see any libraries.
Just for testing I installed the master_backup version from github and when I run that version it worked so I am a little confused why the old version works but the latest doesn’t.
From the changelog for the “https” implementation:
Couple of changes to support PMS https encryption feature:
when signed into myPlex, plex.tv/api/resources is used as sole source
for discovering PMSs.
when not signed in, we rely on PlexGDM or the fixed ip/port_pms from
Settings.
=> When signed in, you better make sure that your (local) PMS is
published and your router does allow port-rebinding for “plex.direct”.
Please help to resolve the following problem: Plex Server installed on Macbook Air and ATV 3 works with it. when I close Macbook, any app on ATV 3 couldn’t be open. But when I close Plex Server on Macbook applications (like youtube) on ATV 3 works again (seems that it works when ATV lost plex server connection or plex server is on)

The machine where PlexConnect is running should be running if you want to use any aTV application. If you want to use aTV applications with PlexConnect off you need to put the DNS in automatic (in the aTV), and revert to manual when you need to use PMS.
Hope that it will be fixed someday. I used to watch TV channels through DNS change but aTV app worked.
Anyway thanks for you response, you really save a lot of my time^)

Well, there are other options, for example some routers support a dnsmasq service, or you can install dnsmasq (or even PlexConnect) in a RasPI. If you had an aTV2 you could have installed PlexConnect on it, but with an aTV3 this is not possible, and I think that it will never be possible.

Was there a recent change? Because as I said PlexConnect worked just a week ago. Is there a way to install an older version of plexconnect (like from 1-2 weeks back?)
I am using Fritzbox 6360 from my cable company. How can I check if my router can port rebind plex.direct?
I guess I can use the master_backup version of plexconnect for now if nothing else helps.
My setup is like this:
FritzBox 6360 (cable modem)
Raspberry PI running plexconnect (ethernet)
ATV3 dns set to raspberrypi (wlan)
Macbook Pro running PMS (plan)
ATV4 will probably solve this problem in the easiest way but I am not getting it until Apple gets rid of the first major errors and most importantly fixes the remote app to work with ATV4.
