ERROR : No plex library sections available

Hi all

I am having the error of no library sections available.
I have got both my host PC IP and my ATV IP in the network settings of Plex, which is what fixed this issue last time. Everything is as it should be from what I can see. If I come back to my PC after trying to access trailers (Plex) on my ATV, I see these errors in my cmd prompt :

I am unable to make sense of this, please could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks so much.

What does your settings.cfg look like? Are you signed into plex in the atv?

Thanks for the response.

My .cfg :

[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
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 = .

I don’t think I am signed into Plex on my ATV, I’ve never had to in the past and when I’ve tried to it just fails, but Plex has always worked on my ATV regardless.

Is that something I would need to do?

Thanks

The List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth parameter (in PMS Network settings) is a bit tricky because it does not allow any blanks, and it produces no errors when not properly filled. Can you pls check it ? Otherwise I need the following files Plex Media Server.log and PlexConnect.log

Hi Moody

Thanks for your efforts so far.

The list of IP addresses I am sure is correct, no spaces or blanks etc, separated by a comma and it has always worked and hasn’t been changed.

PlexConnect.log is as follows :

I don’t see any PlexMediaServer.log file in my plex media server folder, where would I find it?

Thanks

https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/

Also I would prefer that you use the latest PlexConnect version 0.7-dev-151218

Hi Moody

I am trying to find links to download the PlexConnect version that you suggested but I’m not having any luck. Please could you assist?

Once I have that, i will try again and if it isn’t working, I will paste the Plexmediaserver.log file for you to have a look.

Thanks so much.
