Hi all

 

I have searched but couldn't find the answer.

 

I am testing some new hardware and running Win8 Enterprise Evaluation and can't get this working.

 

I followed the guide (3 times).  Installed latest python 2.7.x. I was able to create the certificates.

 

Unzipped plexconnect-master to c:\programfiles

 

When I double click on the plexconnect.py file I see a quick terminal window doing something but it is too quick to read.

 

It than disappears and doesn't seem to be running.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks :)

start a command prompt

run it from there to see what the error is.  Possibly permissions on the Programfiles directory

thanks!

I ran it from cmd and you are right it appears to be a permission error 

permission denied for the settings.cfg file

do I just need to change the settings for that file?

and can I change permissions from the properties?

You could possibly run command prompt as administrator then launch the PlexConnect.py file or you may need to fix permissions as @drewbie said on the entire folder and sub folders so all the files can fire allowing PlexConnect to run all the required files so it can run.

Open the command prompt as administrator, do this by right clicking on the icon and select “Run as Administrator”.

Ok. I was able to change permissions for the folder and have it running now. But I get the error ‘cannot connect to trailers’ . Other apps like Netflix are working ok though

Have you followed this guide:

Install-Guide

If yes and installed certs and rebooted aTV after loading certs then please use this template and fill it out completely if it still doesn't work:

I followed the guide but missed the install certificate on atv part. I remember doin it last time but didn’t see it in the guide this time and just ended up googling it.


Now it’s working great!


Thanks everyone
