btw i can browse the movies and tv shows, but images are now showing (thumbnails)

This is not a supported setup but if you search the forums you will find that someone resolved this issue.

You will continue to have issues if your girlfriend has a dynamic IP though as it will break again.

any clues for what to search for ? tried "networks" and "preferences.xml"

Just ignore the stuff about editing settings.py as you should be editing settings.cfg now.

hmm disable gdm in settings does not prevent gdm lookup when i start the plexconnect. Also adding the correct network to plex does not get the streaming to work, i also tried proxying the trafic through apache, but as my settings are ignored ang gdm is used instead, this is not possible. How do i disable gdm so my settings for plex ip and port number is effective ?

7

set "enable_plexgdm = False". not 'false' or whatever... what did you set it to? 

8

i set it to False also tried false.. its still using gdm.

Look :-)

root@XBMCLive:/home/tonny/PlexConnect# grep "enable_plexgdm" Settings.cfg 
enable_plexgdm = False

So even if it is set to false it looks up the server.

Nice... you are right: You found a bug... you may keep it. :-D

Or grab the latest commit, it should be fixed now.

11

awesome.. i will test again soon as possible.. the apache mod_proxy should bix the issue and let plex think all connections are comming from localhost wuhuu

12

hmm oki i set up apache proxypass / http://194.255.31.255:32400 and let apache listen on port 8090 changed the pms port to 8090 in settings.cfg, now i get this

Error response

Error code 403.

Message: Not Serving Client 212.37.130.28.

Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help.

13

i would think the client should be 194.255.31.57 not 212.37.130.28 as the request is proxied though 194.255.31.57, does plexconnect send source ip in some way that can be altered ?

I dont think that is correct. There is no issue with PMS here.

What you have to do - as far as I understand:

- keep PMS on port 32400

- let Apache listen on port 80, forwarding the aTV to port 8090

- set PlexConnect to listen on port 8090 (port_webserver)

I don't think this is what you were doing, is it?

15

arhh will try that.. 

16

ok so now plexconnect webserver is listening on port 8090 and i have setup this in apache

 
and apache is listening on port 80
 
plex is running with his

changed the listening ip from 0.0.0.0 to 194.255.31.57 now the browser gives the same error again

Error response

Error code 403.

Message: Not Serving Client 194.255.31.57.

Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help.

 

seems that my own client is now allowed.. pms runs on 194.255.31.57 that ip is listed in allowed networks.

18

You may want to wait for MyPlex support (you will only have to undo all of this when it arrives soon anyway).

19

Or check out the Linux guide thread for Apache stuff :wink:

20

even with 127.0.0.1 if fails

Error response

Error code 403.

Message: Not Serving Client 127.0.0.1.

Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help.

 

so now plexconnect is running webserver on 127.0.0.1:8090 and apache is forwarding via proxy / to http://127.0.0.1:8090 and listening on port 80

 

how the heck do i allow localhost ? seems its forbiden i have set 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 in allowed network settings.
