I must use Python?

Well, yeah, it is the scripting language used here.

22

But when because in the guide just say download and install

23

... from the wiki on github - see first/pinned post:

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

Look for "Downloading, installing and configuring PlexConnect".

It says "Download Python 2.7.x from here and install it."

24

I already installed but when I must use?

25

It is enough to install it and follow the other instructions.

26

Can u helpme by facebook

27

I already installed but when I must use?

wiki-pages - step 8 and 9:

8. Open a command prompt window and change the directory to your PlexConnect folder.

9. Type "PlexConnect.py", without the quotes and hit return.

This is where you actually "use" python. python is the interpreter running the script "PlexConnect.py". you can also run "python PlexConnect.py" to have it more clearly...

I have a question with plex connect I can see movies and channels from another servers o just from my server?

29

See the FAQ:

30

I can?

31

This thread makes my head hurt.

32

I think it is mainly the combination of language barrier and poor typing.

If we have any users willing to help who are fluent in both Spanish and English please feel free to jump in.

For the life of me I cannot get this to work. PSM installed on iMac, Apple TV 3 DNS set to unblockus, PlexConnect on iMac. Below is the Terminat output when I start PlexConnect, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like you have the wrong IP address. This has happened to me occasionally but not with the latest builds. Try rebooting the mac, put the proper IP address of the computer with PMS running in settings and run it again.

>> Apple TV 3 DNS set to unblockus

DNS has to point to the PlexConnect machine.

36

Ok, I set the DNS of Apple TV to the ip of my iMac and now it is working, but of course this disables my US Netflix via UnblockUs unless there is a way to have both simultaneously.

Thanks Baa

You put the unblockus DNS in place of the google DNS in the plexconnect settings.py and then everything works

38

A thing of beauty, got it.

Thanks
