Losing Ethernet Connection after PlexConnect install

tried to run the scripts again, but when it gets to cd/Applications/PlexConnect, it starts telling me that no such file or directory. I must have the folder in the wrong place. I put the folder in the Applications folder (SFTP) along with the AppleTV and

 
here is the terminal output once I enter your commands:

>>ran install cydia and install python and both say "newest version" 

cydia doesn't know about python 2.7.x. It *thinks* 2.5.x is the current version. At least, that what happened when I worked on those scripts.

SSH into you aTV, type "python" and check if it says 2.5.something. If so, update *manually* to 2.7.3.

Okay... post #127. I am done. :-D

Apple-TV:~ root# python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 11 2012, 10:54:38) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 3.0 (tags/Apple/clang-211.11)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

Looks promising. :-)

Progress: got the PlexConnect Icon to pop up on the aTV, but gives me a 404 error

ok I seen this before. Post your settings.cfg & hosts file. Also your dns should be set to auto.

hosts.zip <-----use this

This is my working settings.cfg, the other one works as well this is just what I use.

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
port_webserver = 80
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
loglevel = Normal
enable_dnsserver = False
logpath = .
ip_pms = 127.0.0.1
enable_plexgdm = False
hosttointercept = localhost
port_ssl = 443
enable_webserver_ssl = False
prevent_atv_update = True
port_dnsserver = 53
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False

And my working hosts (unzip the file before you use it in place of yours):

##

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.

Set DNS to auto and you should be up and running (I hope) :D

Make them match ;)

More Progress! Now, I get into PlexConnect, but it Discovery says 0 servers found. Also, it says "failed" when I try to log in with myPlex.

Strangly my account got locked. Needless to say, I got it unlocked and all is working perfectly now! You guys really helped me out! How can I show my appreciation?

Will do!

The addsite solution has been working like a champ. I absolutely love the simplicity! I have run into a small hiccup.

 

Every 3 or 4 days I get the error in PlexConnect that it cannot connect to the server. If I go to Plex/Web, my settings icon has an "!". Once I go to MyPlex in Plex Media Server, I see that the server is disconnected. It is quite simple to click the reconnect and it states that it is mapped to port xxxxx. Is there any way to keep this from disconnecting?

This looks like more of a PMS error, are you using UPNP or manually opening port 32400 for MyPlex?

I do not have the manually open port 32400 option checked in the setting so I assume UPNP

UPNP or manually opening the port is done on your router. It looks like a PMS issue though (or a network issue affecting your PMS MyPlex connectivity). Do you have require authentication on local networks checked?

No I dont

I am using airport utility with my time capsule as well

On your time capsule do you have anything set up as the “default host” entry?
