Hello, I am trying to set up plexconnect on my AppleTV 3 but unfortunately I am stuck on creating certificates. After running cmd as administrator I typed in first command and saw trailers.key in my folder. After second command I got an error saying: Unable to load certificate. So I am basicaly missing trailers.der and thats why I cannot run plexconnect on my AppleTV. Any solutions? Sending you some screens… ![screen](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/9/4/94bbe69db1e6579f0dbdc80be1be051bed4aa5f7.png) Thanks in advance 🙂 ---

I was able to generate a certificate using the OpenSSL download link referenced in question 8 of this post: ###Q8 - How to generate certificates (Windows 64-bit) > [@PlexConnect FAQ's](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexconnect-faqs/210620): > > Welcome to PlexConnect FAQ: This post will try to answer some common questions related to the use of PlexConnect, a non-official Plex client for AppleTV2&3 platforms.

Thank you for your tip, I tried really hard and made everything from that step but unfortunately nothing has changed, I feel a little bit dumb because I am not an expert but I ve got this: ![screen1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/3/6/367a1f70ee3c89efc15a3c90385c466ea5bdc2fe.png) ![screen2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/0/9/095fec59bf273fe58d1cb84e414a76dca92b5d6e.png) Is there anything I can do right now? ---

You did not copy / paste the first command correctly. It should be bin\openssl req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -out trailers.pem -keyout trailers.key -x509 -days 7300 -subj “/C=US/CN=[trailers.apple.com](http://trailers.apple.com)” -config openssl.cnf ---
