Being Asked For Authentication

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

Hi guys, I'm trying to run plex through Trailers app on my ATV3, but when i open the trailers app, I get prompted for user name and password. I am unsure what authentication i'm being asked for. I have previously installed plex on another machine and was never asked for a username and pass when opening the trailers app. I tried using Plex account credentials, but the authentication fails. 

 

I followed the Github guide to install plex connect on a windows pc, linked here. https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide

 

The certificates are properly installed on the ATV, the dns is manually set to my server machine. I've done everything mentioned on that guide. 

 

I think I should mention that I'm also running Apache web server on the same machine.

 
Im really new to this and would really appreciate some help and would gladly provide additional info whenever needed. 
 
The attached image shows the authentication I'm stuck at.

This is really strange. It definitely doesn't look like PlexConnect...

Does PlexConnect generate any logs?

Strange indeed. I suspected plexconnect because i saw a "settings.js" file with similar text as the authentication page i'm seeing under \assests\js folder.

Here's the log, I just checked it right now after you mentioned it and i see the port 80 error. But how could that be causing the problem hat I'm facing, i have no idea.

Do you have Apache configured to use Port 80 (I am guessing it is because plexconnect fails using it), therefore the Authentication could be for the default site on apache.

Yeah Apache is using port 80. Can I make plexconnect use a different port than 80?

6

The ATV only talks over port 80. So to use a different port you need to look at the advanced setup on the wiki and setup http redirects.
