Help getting up & running with ATV3 & Win 7 please!

Just installed as per this guide:

 

https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Windows-7-and-ATV-with-5.2-firmware-and-ethernet-internet-connection-installation-guide

 

I've read several threads here with other folks having trouble, read the FAQ & common issues in the Wiki, but none of it has worked.  Tried both ZIP files linked at GIT, made sure port 80 isn't being used, etc.

 

After chaning the DNS on my ATV, it no longer connects to the internet or Plex.  Here is my log:


C:\Program Files (x86)\PlexConnect-master>PlexConnect.py

Whoa - for some reason, it took posting my log for me to finally GET that the whole problem was b/c PlexConnect couldn't write its 'Settings.cfg' file!

Moved PlexConnect out of Program Files & it works perfectly. . .duh.

Open settings.py in plexconnect

Ip_pms = the ip where u are running PMS

Ip_dns master = your dns server ( external dns if used) - standard is 8.8.8.8 i think…


Thats all for plexconnect


Atv dns= same as your Ip_pms from above…


Very important: use python27… The new one doenst work…


Edit: we posted at the same time… Lol… Anyway, glad its sorted;)
