The error I'm having is the errno 10061, target machine actively refuses connection. No response from Plex Media Server.
Trailers app launches plex connect but no media is visible. Trying to sign into myplex spins and doesn't connect. Tried a lot including deactivating firewall and removing authentication requirement on PMS for local networks.
If you set plexgdm to False and specify your ippms to your pms server in your settings.cfg then restart plexconnect does it work. Seems like your certs and aTV is in order but something is wrong with your server causing it to not serve your pms content properly to your aTV.
Is this a virtualized environment? What is your network layout? Is there any antivirus installed? Have you modified any settings on your pms? Can your play pms content on any other devices? I assume you have already added content to your pms.
Your local pms content should work regardless of being logged into myplex. For myplex to work your need to forward your local pms port on your router to your servers IP address which is another issue unrelated to your local pms issue not serving to your aTV properly.
-Set this up with plexgdm to False and manual ippms server to 192.168.1.73 and now Plex Servers found is 0 and I have the same errors.
-no virtualized environment
- just moved the apple tv upstairs as a precaution so it is connected via Ethernet to the same hub as the desktop where plex and plexconnect is installed.
-tried disabling Avast and restarting plex connect, no go.
-Reinstalled PMS just in case, left all settings default. My iphone can play the content thru the web browser and so can the desktop.
-Signed out of myPlex on desktop and not messing with it in Plex Connect for good measure and still no content served.
The Log file you originally posted shows connection from ATV to plexconnect and then Plexconnect via GDM discovered 1 server (22:15:22 PlexAPI: GDM: Servers discovered: 1) but it seems (if I am reading the log connectly) that PMS is not providing any library's. Does your PMS have require Authentication on local network enabled?
running your PMS on a non-standard port (in which case change settings.cfg to make GDM False (note the capital F) and also set the IP and port of the PMS manually)
or you have a firewall issues, make sure you have python.exe open in the firewall inbound and outbound
Verified this, in the first post I was asked to set GDM to False and set the IP manually. I also set the PMS post manually to 32400. The ip is fixed for that machine to 192.168.1.117 on the router.
I tried with the firewall off and still didn’t work. I’ll check if Python is open both ways as soon as I get home from work.
Very frustrating, but i appreciate all the advice so far, checking all the obvious things to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

Make sure it is set to that in both settings.cfg and in the PMS admin page (not sure from the above if you have done that)
Yeah disabling Windows' firewall does not always work so try adding the two rules (no idea why this happens but have seen it time and time again on Windows since the XP days and it still does not disable properly on Windows 8; this can occur with any program)
Noted, I did put the ATV ip address mistakenly into the PMS server ip address. I corrected it and turned on GDM and it finds the PMS ip address automatically.
However, I still have the same error.
I'm just throwing this out there, I saw in the command prompt about atv source 192.1687.1.73, 65007 then later it's 51854. Is it using a different port to contact the PMS?
