Can someone direct me to the step-by-step instructions on how to change the hijacked icon on ATV (7.1) to the Plex icon. I am running openplex on mac mini and all is working well, and I found some code strings in the imovie icon section of the storefront code that look like what it is referring to, but the instructions in openplex do not specifically say where to paste the code for the new icon into settings.cfg, etc… example??  
Thanks

What icon would you like to change? Currently only CyberGhost84 or Wahlman.j themes are able to change the icon unless you specifically input icon into Settings.py and restart PlexConnect on other themes. For example using mine it is set to change iMovie icon (by default in the instructions) to whatever icon you desire so if I wanted to change it from iMove to say WSJ I would change the ‘icon’ string in Settings.cfg then follow the remaining steps as outlined in the app. So after I found the URL for WSJ using the storeFront button (extras tab):

[PlexConnect]  
enable\_plexgdm = True  
ip\_pms = 192.168.178.10  
port\_pms = 32400  
enable\_dnsserver = True  
port\_dnsserver = 53  
ip\_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8  
prevent\_atv\_update = True  
intercept\_atv\_icon = True  
icon = **com.apple.imovietheatre.appletv**  
enable\_plexconnect\_autodetect = True  
ip\_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0  
hosttointercept = [trailers.apple.com](http://trailers.apple.com)  
port\_webserver = 80  
enable\_webserver\_ssl = True  
port\_ssl = 443  
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem  
allow\_gzip\_atv = False  
allow\_gzip\_pmslocal = False  
allow\_gzip\_pmsremote = True  
loglevel = Normal  
logpath = .

You would paste into this for WSJ:

[PlexConnect]  
enable\_plexgdm = True  
ip\_pms = 192.168.178.10  
port\_pms = 32400  
enable\_dnsserver = True  
port\_dnsserver = 53  
ip\_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8  
prevent\_atv\_update = True  
intercept\_atv\_icon = True  
icon = **com.wsjlive.appletv.v2**  
enable\_plexconnect\_autodetect = True  
ip\_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0  
hosttointercept = [trailers.apple.com](http://trailers.apple.com)  
port\_webserver = 80  
enable\_webserver\_ssl = True  
port\_ssl = 443  
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem  
allow\_gzip\_atv = False  
allow\_gzip\_pmslocal = False  
allow\_gzip\_pmsremote = True  
loglevel = Normal  
logpath = .

or Trailers:

[PlexConnect]  
enable\_plexgdm = True  
ip\_pms = 192.168.178.10  
port\_pms = 32400  
enable\_dnsserver = True  
port\_dnsserver = 53  
ip\_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8  
prevent\_atv\_update = True  
intercept\_atv\_icon = True  
icon = **movie-trailers**  
enable\_plexconnect\_autodetect = True  
ip\_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0  
hosttointercept = [trailers.apple.com](http://trailers.apple.com)  
port\_webserver = 80  
enable\_webserver\_ssl = True  
port\_ssl = 443  
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem  
allow\_gzip\_atv = False  
allow\_gzip\_pmslocal = False  
allow\_gzip\_pmsremote = True  
loglevel = Normal  
logpath = .
