Hi Guys,
I've spent all day trying to find a solution to an issue I am having connecting my AppleTV 3 to Plex.
When I run my PlexConnect.py it all connects fine until the last line I get this Failed to connect to HTTPS on 192.168.1.71 port 443: [SSL] PEM lib (_ssl:2525)
If anyone could help me sort this issue I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Please read the “Read Before Posting” pinned thread and post all the information asked for in the how to report a problem section, including the log and settings file. But I would say do you have anything using port 443 on that machine?
Oh right sorry, my bad. I'm not sure, not that I know of. Kind of why I came here for some advice. I've followed all the install instruction and tutorials I could find. This seems to be the last little issue stopping it working. :(
Just checked and nothing is using 443
Also found the error log now:
Har you generated the certificates and put the files into the certificates folder specified in your settings.cfg file (default is assets/certificates from memory)
Yes did all that and just get that failed to connect to https message :(
Running as admin/with elevated rights?
Anything else on :443?
Yes, running as admin and pretty sure there isn't anything else on 443
When i probe the port it says its in stealth, would this then suggest something else is using port 443?
Thanks
I'm not 100% familiar with a Windows configuration, but you didn't install es the Pillow?01:04:24 PlexConnect: PILBackgrounds: Is PIL installed? False
@Rolfey22 - Hello! Did installing the Pillow make any difference? Have you solved your issue?
Pillow is only used for Fanart/Background preprocessing. It is not necessarily needed for the basic PlexConnect functionality.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know what it was. Today is my first time venturing out into the world of PlexConnect. I happen to have the SAME exact problem as Rolfey22. Hoping to piggyback off of his issue, maybe it will help me solve mine. :)
Having Similar issues - I tried connecting to host through said port in Telnet and still can't connect....
Here's my PlexConnect.py log:

Any suggestions?
I had the same problem and the fix for me was really simple. If you got the certification code from LANGUI.SH (https://langui.sh/2013/08/27/appletv-ssl-plexconnect/) there is an error in the code. The line "C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe x509 -in C: railers.pem -outform der -out C: railers.der" should be "C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe x509 -in C: railers.pem -outform der -out C: railers.cer". If you notice the file type in his code is incorrectly ".der" when it should be ".cer". I remade the certificate with the code from the GitHub page (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-Windows-Certificates) and it worked like a charm. Hopefully this helps.
If you run PlexConnect and the error is gone you are good to go, except you need to get that same certificate onto your aTV. Either by transferring via USB and iPhone Configuration Utility or adding the profile to the aTV itself. You can see how to do that in this video if you need help.

Sorry this got kind of long, but hopefully it helps you or someone else get PlexConnect working.
Take your pick they should be good for 10 years. I made em on a unused PlexConnect Host I only use to test with. If you use them load them like this for example I load mine like:
192.168.1.101/trailers.cer
Just put your local ip in place of mine and follow this to load your certs:

Having similar issues as the OP. Used all the suggestions mentioned above. Using the plexconnectip/trailers.cer instead of the http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.cerwhile adding the profile on ATV 3. The latter gives :Unable to add profile" type of error message. The log is attached below. ANy help would be highly appreciated.
How about #14?
If you have installed Python 2.7.9, than remove it and install 2.7.8, because python 2.7.9 they now validate ssl certs by default.
I had this problem too. It's a problem with the certificates you generated (or downloaded if that's your thing).
In assets/certificates there is a file called certificates.txt that gives the exact commands you need to run. This is what I did on my Ubuntu 15.04 box (copy/paste from the MAC section in certificates.txt):
cd /usr/local/PlexConnect/assets/certificates
openssl req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -out trailers.pem -keyout trailers.key -x509 -days 365 -subj "/C=US/CN=trailers.apple.com"
openssl x509 -in trailers.pem -outform der -out trailers.cer && cat trailers.key >> trailers.pem
cd ../..
sudo ./PlexServer.py
Haven't tried the next stage of getting the certificate onto the ATV3, but crossing fingers!
Hope this helps :)
