I have the same problem
Please show your ATVSettings.cfg content...
I'm having the same issue. Here are my details.
Your ATV model (2 or 3) and firmware version (found under the ATV settings > general > about > Apple TV software): ATV3 5.3 (6105)
The DNS server set on the ATV (found under the ATV settings > general > network > DNS): 192.168.1.12
The device and operating system (including version number) that PlexConnect is installed on: Mac Mini 2010 OSX 10.8.4
The local IP address of the device that PlexConnect is installed on: 192.168.1.12
The device and operating system (including version number) that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: Mac Mini 2010 OSX 10.8.4
The Plex media server (PMS) version number you are running (**do not put 'latest'**): Plexpass 9.8.4
The local IP address of the device that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: 192.168.1.12
The PlexConnect version number. If using Github source then a time and date of download (look at the creation date of the folder) and if you are using any testing branch e.g. the Elan/PlexInc one. Git 31 July 19:50 GMT
The content of your 'Settings.cfg' file (if you do not have this file you are running an old version, please update)
PlexConnect]
ip_pms = 192.168.178.10
As Baa said in his last post, please show the content of your ATVSetting.cfg file.
Sorry.
Here you go....
Do you have any foreign (non ASCII) characters in the name of your Plex Media Server?
I think it's called:
Alastair's Mac Mini
Is the apostrophe a problem?
Al
May be, in the PMS web interface under general settings change the friendly name and try it again, you may need to restart both PMS and PlexConnect. Thanks.
Yep, Roidy... this is what I was going for :-)
0xe2 seems to be the "circumflex"... any thing like that in your PMS name?
-'- is like 39 (dec).
Thanks. That sorted it. Got rid of the apostrophe. Restarted PMS and plex connect. Settings back online.
Great support.
Thanks again.
Al
That’s odd, because I’ve just tried both types of apostrophe in my media server name ` and ’ and they both work fine… Very strange, we’ll need to investigate this further.
What exactly was your PMS name?
...might be affected by the OS of the Host as well.
Ok Baa can you try both apostrophes then it will have been tested under Windows and OSX.
Hi,
Sorry, had to go collect the twins from nursery.
My PMS name was "Alastair's Mac Mini"
Is now "Mac Mini"
The only other thing i changed today (without checking to see if the settings problem had changed) was moving to the new 0.9.8.4 PMS from 0.9.8.3
I can try to regress back to my previous PMS version, PMS name etc to see if we can get the issue to recur?

Removing the apostrophe worked for me as well
Hi,
I have the same problem (can't enter settings).
I dont have any ATVSetting.cfg file in PlexConnect folder so i cant post it.
My server name is "Håkans Mac mini".
It was working until the latest version of PlexConnect.
Sorry for the my bad english, i am from Sweden.
Any advise what to do?
Change the name of the Plex Server to remove the punctuation from Hakan, at least until a fix.

If you get rid of this character from your server name it should work fine.
