I have tried many things (disabled firewall, restarted several times, disabled internet sharing etc.) yet still when I run sudo ./PlexConnect.py I get the following:

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4, and an Apple TV 2nd generation running 5.2.1. I did change in Settings.py the 'ip_pms' to the IP address of my Mac if that helps. 
Thanks!

What happens if you change the ip_pms back to the default

Yeah do not change the entries in settings.cfg UNLESS you understand what you are doing :wink:

I have the exact same problem.

Yesterday everything ran perfectly. Today, after a reboot, I get that same error message. 

After a fresh install of plexconnect, I still get the same error message. Didn't mess with any config files, nothing.

Headscratching...

EDIT: problem solved by disconnecting my VPN connetion (privateinternetaccess).

NOW I get "Trailer unavailable" without any error message in the terminal.
