Help! Cant get PlexConnect on Apple TV error 109 when adding profile

I am running PlexConnect and PSM on my Synology NAS Drive. I can access PSM thru my web browser on my mac but can't get PlexConnect to work on my AppleTV. When trying to add profile http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.cer I get error message unable to add profile error 109. 

 

I followed this guide including adding custom certificates to PlexConnect as explained in the advance part. 

 

Please help and let me know I need to post any additional info.

I have better luck and find it easier to type in the "plexconnectip/trailers.cer" without the quotes into my aTV's for example I type this URL into all my aTV's since it's my local PlexConnect host IP address (no http prefix required):

192.168.1.101/trailers.cer

If that doesn't work edit your settings.cfg file and change it to:

loglevel = High

Then restart plexconnect try the cert upload again then stop plexconnect then upload a .zip of your plexconnect.log or link a URL of it to this topic.

Reboot your aTV also then try to load your synoip/trailers.cer for example if your syno ip was 192.168.1.101 the enter this into your aTV:

192.168.1.101/trailers.cer     <-------Change the IP to your sync box followed by the /trailers.cer part

to add the profile (cert)

@wahlman.j

You would have to search and/or ask in the syno topic:

I encountered same problem as you did when adding a profile. So what you should do is instead of http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.cer  type in your ip add that you add in your dns at ATV, same ip add and then trailer.cer, it would look like 10.0.1.1/trailers.cer only that 10.0.1.1 would be replaced by your ip add serving plex or the ip you enter in your dns at ATV

Thanks for your responses  @xp0z3d & @wahlman.j

I was finally able to edit my settings.cfg files and changed loglevel = High as recommended by walman.j but still same error message when adding profile to atv3 

Tried xp0z3d suggestion but still same error when adding profile. 

Any other suggestions? Ive added my settings.cfg file see below

[PlexConnect]

port_pms = 32400

port_webserver = 81

ip_plexconnect = 10.0.0.11

certfile = ../../etc/certificates/trailers.pem

ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8

loglevel = High

enable_dnsserver = True

logpath = ../../var

ip_pms = 10.0.0.11

enable_plexgdm = True

hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com

port_ssl = 443

enable_webserver_ssl = True

prevent_atv_update = True

port_dnsserver = 53

enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True

Click my username and send me a message. Looks like your settings.cfg may not be correct but hopefully I can debug it for you.

Did any one have a fix for this, was using version 0.3 fine but upgraded to version 0.5 and same issue. Tried upgrade and re-install. Any help greatly appreciated. followed the install guide/troubleshooting as per https://forums.plex.tv/topic/72356-plexconnect-on-synology/

Thanks

Did anyone solve this? I have the same problem on my atv3 (A1427) running on 7.0.3 (6917).


Ever since I made my lasy update of plexconnect on my synology nas this stopped working. To which I deleted the profile on ATV in hope that after recreated it would come back to normal. …


But no. From thereon I was never able to add the trailers.cer profile on my ATV. And yes, I’ve tried my NAS fixed IP instead of http://trailers.apple.com…


Can anyone help?


I used to love this setup… :. (

works for me but i had to completely uninstall and reinstall plexconnect.

I'm also having the same error 109 when trying to add the profile. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’m also having same prob. I do know the reason…
Somehow the .cer files are not installed. Enter the URL http://your_ip/trailers.cer or marketwatch.cer and you find a file not found message. Not sure where the script went wrong. Do you have Python install ?

Simple solution to this, check the PlexConnect log file to see the port it’s serving http on. Mine was 81 so on the Apple TV enter http://yourIP:81/trailers.cer

Hey presto, trailers are loading :slight_smile:
