I know the url for wsj changed in June but last night it has started loading the “correct” wsj (i.e.) not the plexconnect hack.
Can anyone else confirm this?
No it has not been changed, just tested it using the new URL. All themes have been updated besides @Falco953’s that I know of.
Ok cheers Wahlman, was weird it worked ok on video-api-secure.wsj.com last week then all of a sudden the AppleTV started displaying the “real” WSJ last night. Wonder if its a local glitch or whether Apple are slowly pushing another update. I’ll try WireShark and see what URL the Apple TV is querying.
You just have to look at the storeFront in your geo location to see what it is. I use the app I coded in my signature to find it quickly on OS X. Im not sure how to do it on other platforms off hand. Have you rebooted your aTV and ensured that your aTV DNS is properly set to your PlexConnect host ip still?
This may help:
Thanks Wahlman, found out the problem - I use the DNS server on OSX to handle all DNS queries for the network. Turns out there is a bug in the version of BIND that comes with OSX Server 4.x (inc 4.1.3 - latest version) where if you have hyphens in the hostname it causes the nameserver to behave very strangely, from either not accepting the hostname at all (so you have to create the hostname as video_api_secure.wsj.com with underscores) to SERVFAIL errors and also non-descript forwarding of queries to the next name server without logging it. I disabled it, compiled BIND 9.10.2 from ISC directly, used the same zone files and its all working again now.
Looking at the link you posted, would be really cool to be able to add a completed fresh Plex icon onto the AppleTV3 using Add Site but looks like its been shut down by Apple?
You can get addsite on iOS 5.3 aTV2 jailbroken outside of that I believe its been shutdown for aTV3’s updated past iOS 5.3. There is more info here:
