How to get plex working on Apple Tv 3?

I am seeking help, I have followed all the tutorials on youtube but at the begining they say chnage your I.P. manually to the plex server I.P. 

 

but where do I find this I.P. ? it is the only part I am stuck on.

 

If you click this link its starts off by saying change the I.P. but what to?

As said in the link you gave :

"In order for PlexConnect to work the ATV has to have its DNS server changed to the IP address of the device running the PlexConnect application."

hence : install and run PMS on your computer, install and run plexconnect on the same computer, and configure the ATV3

if your installation is not too exotic, you shall have no problem.

tried that but got this as a result for some strange reason.

this is the problem by the look of things: Failed to create socket on UDP port 53: [Errno 48] Address already in use, what do I do next to solve the problem.

it seems you already running a application that listen on port 53

you need to close it

it seems you already running a application that listen on port 53

you need to close it

how do I find out what running on that port or even better how can I just close it off ?

I use AirPlay from my iPhone/iPad and it works great usually

If you are running osx you can use this to see what is possibly using that port via terminal:


sudo lsof -i -P | grep -i “listen”


If not as in you are running a different os I don’t know.


Use this to give us more info about your situation to better assist you.

How does that help? I even don't own an iPhone nor an iPad...

And what does "usually" mean? 70% of the time? More often?
