Anybody? Bueller?
If you have the certfile option in Settings.cfg set to the default (relative) path, PlexConnect.py will only work when run from the PlexConnect root dir. If you want to run PlexConnect as a service, you need to put the absolute path in the certfile option.
You're the man! That was it, thanks so much for your help! Now everything is finally back to normal.

Anyone have the knowledge to get that startup script to work on FreeBSD/Nas4Free in a jail? Got plexconnect working here.
I'm having a bit of an issue here it seems
i have the vhosts setup fine and i see that in the log.
i see my atv accessing plexconnect fine..
i can go into the trailers appl and the plex menu loads but i cant access anyting. just keeps scrolling 'Accessing Trailers'.
SSL server is being run by plexconnect on port 443 and http is apache2 on 80. settings.cfg for plex has ssl port as 443 and http as 81.
i have in my ports.conf for apache:
NameVirtualHost *:80 Listen 80
and my 000-default in sites-enabled:
ServerName trailers.apple.com ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.10:81/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.10:81/ ServerName atv.plexconnect ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.10:81/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.10:81/
my other_vhosts_access.log shows this:
atv.plexconnect:80 192.168.1.45 - - [10/Nov/2013:17:10:38 -0500] "GET /&PlexConnect=Discover&PlexConnectUDID=C0HL4BWAFF54 HTTP/1.1" 200 433 "-" "iTunes-AppleTV/5.3 (3; 8GB; dt:12)" atv.plexconnect:80 192.168.1.45 - - [10/Nov/2013:17:10:39 -0500] "GET /PlexConnect.xml&PlexConnectUDID=C0HL4BWAFF54 HTTP/1.1" 200 579 "-" "iTunes-AppleTV/5.3 (3; 8GB; dt:12)" atv.plexconnect:80 192.168.1.45 - - [10/Nov/2013:17:10:39 -0500] "GET /js/utils.js HTTP/1.1" 200 1717 "-" "iTunes-AppleTV/5.3 (3; 8GB; dt:12)" atv.plexconnect:80 192.168.1.45 - - [10/Nov/2013:17:10:39 -0500] "GET /&PlexConnectATVLogLevel=1&PlexConnectLog=loadItem%3A%20Library HTTP/1.1" 200 289 "-" "iTunes-AppleTV/5.3 (3; 8GB; dt:12)" atv.plexconnect:80 192.168.1.45 - - [10/Nov/2013:17:10:39 -0500] "GET /PMS(%2F%2Flocal)/library/sections&PlexConnectUDID=C0HL4BWAFF54 HTTP/1.1" 404 542 "-" "iTunes-AppleTV/5.3 (3; 8GB; dt:12)"
in my plex logs the only difference i can see is when i dont use apache and just stick to the plexconnect server i get:
17:14:12 WebServer: serving .xml: /PlexConnect.xml 17:14:12 WebServer: serving /js/utils.js 17:14:12 WebServer: serving .xml: /library/sections 17:14:12 WebServer: serving /js/utils.js 17:14:13 WebServer: serving .xml: /library/sections/1/recentlyAdded
and when i try the SSL by plex and http vhost i only get this:
17:14:58 WebServer: serving .xml: /PlexConnect.xml 17:14:58 WebServer: serving /js/utils.js
am i not able to have plex connect run ssl normally and use my apache2 use vhosts listening on 80 and forwarding to 81 plex?
i decided to try and have my apache2 server handle both http and https vhosts and the result is the same as if i use just http vhost and normal https with plexconnect on 443. anyone see an issue with my settings? i've narrowed the issue down to my http server but can't solve it. if i disabled listening on port 80 and just run vhost on 443 and use the plex http server for 80 it runs okay. if i use the plex server for 443 and my apache2 for 80 it does not work.

Hi
I'm running PlexConnect on Ubuntu 13.10. Here's my version of an UPSTART script. To me it seems a fair bit simpler than the INIT script. It assumes PlexConnect files to be in /usr/local/lib/plexconnect. Here it is (plexconnect.conf):
# PlexConnect - Plex for Apple TV # # The PlexConnect server redirects the Trailer app on Apple TV to # the local Plex server infrastructure.description “PlexConnect server”
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]respawn
respawn limit 10 5
umask 022send output to a log file (by default /var/log/upstart/)
you can monitor it using ‘sudo tail -f /var/log/upstart/plexconnect.log’
console log
pre-start script
test -x /usr/local/lib/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py || { stop; exit 0; }
test -c /dev/null || { stop; exit 0; }
end scriptthis will start the server
exec /usr/local/lib/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py
To use this version:
sudo cp plexconnect.conf /etc/init/plexconnect.conf sudo chown root:root /etc/init/plexconnect.conf sudo chmod 644 /etc/init/plexconnect.conf
To start immediately:
sudo start plexconnect
To stop it:
sudo stop plexconnect
To see the current log (which I assume will be auto-rotated/compressed by the UPSTART infrastructure):
sudo tail -f /var/log/upstart/plexconnect.log
You can now just create a symlink in /etc/init.d/ called plexconnect linking to the actual PlexConnect_daemon.bash file in the PlexConnect folder and then add it to autostart by writing
sudo update-rd.d plexconnect defaults
thats it
think there was a typo, this worked for me:
sudo update-rc.d plexconnect defaults
Yea thanks, it was a typo. update-rd.d of course does not exist :P
After upgrading to Ubuntu Server 13.10, I can no longer get this script to work. When I enter, with or without sudo, "service plexconnect status/start/etc." I get the following back:
mike@nas4atu:/$ service plexconnect start /etc/init.d/plexconnect: invalid arguments * could not access PID file for PlexConnect process * Starting the process PlexConnect
From the Apple TV's perspective, nothing is wrong. I can watch content.
I tried using the bash script that's now included, but it didn't start the service at boot. I'm not sure if it's supposed to or not.
Any ideas? I've tried every vague thing that Google turned up and I haven't had any progress.
i decided to try and have my apache2 server handle both http and https vhosts and the result is the same as if i use just http vhost and normal https with plexconnect on 443. anyone see an issue with my settings? i've narrowed the issue down to my http server but can't solve it. if i disabled listening on port 80 and just run vhost on 443 and use the plex http server for 80 it runs okay. if i use the plex server for 443 and my apache2 for 80 it does not work.

Hi iLNESS,
did you found a way to get vhost working in apache?
Or does anybody else will post the working config?
Cheers Robert
I used the Ubuntu script in Post #48, and I got it set up right. When I start the service, all is well. However, when I try and run:
sudo update-rc.d plexconnect defaults
This is what I see:
insserv: script plexconnect is not an executable regular file, skipped! The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs. insserv: warning: script 'plexmediaserver' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script `plexmediaserver' insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script `plexmediaserver'
What am I doing wrong? I hate being this close and yet so far. I don't mind starting the service once in a while, but I need to make it as user friendly as possible for my wife! Thanks for this thread and all the help thus far!
Let me put it this way, I am not good with Ubuntu, so if it is going to be easier to give me a step by step after PMS is installed, I would prefer that! Thanks!
sudo chmod +x thefile(s)
for example:
sudo chmod +x PlexConnect.py
