I just got PlexConnect installed and when I open "Trailers" on my atv I get the below message:
"No Plex Selections available in Library"
Just in case I have signed out of "MyPlex" and still same result. Below are my answers to the initial forum questions:
Your ATV model (2 or 3) and firmware version (found under the ATV settings > general > about > Apple TV software):
ATV3 version 6.0.2
The DNS server set on the ATV (found under the ATV settings > general > network > DNS):192.168.1.123
The local IP address of the device that PlexConnect is installed on:192.168.1.123
The device and operating system (including version number) that PlexConnect is installed on:Desktop/Windows 7 x64
The device and operating system (including version number) that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on:
Desktop Windows 7 x64
The Plex media server (PMS) version number you are running (do not put 'latest'):Version 0.9.8.18
The local IP address of the device that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on:192.168.1.123
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 non-standard setup e.g. Plexify or a fork.
Do you have a plex media server setup with content added to it such as channels or movies/music/tv shows? Or a myplex shared/owned library that has content?
Yes, I have 300 videos that are in my plex media server library. I watch these on roku no issues and I just bought the atv and setup plex connect. If I sign into shared myplex I can view and watch via plex connect but since it’s through myplex it’s sluggish. I assume it will be much quicker connecting to my pms on my LAN
If its running wifi I would give ethernet a try. If you can’t run the ethernet they also sell homeplug or powerline ethernet converters. A quick google shopping search may help you out if you need them.
I’m running via Ethernet with plenty of speed. When I check the atv plex connect and look at settings it shows my pms detected. Shouldn’t it be able to connect locally without signing into “MyPlex”? Myplex is used to be able to watch plex libraries remotely like using an iPad.
No. You should be able able to connect without signing in by turning off require authentication in PMS settings. I never sign into MyPlex and have no problem using Plexconnect.
Shouldn’t it be able to connect locally without signing into “MyPlex”?
I thought so…as long as all your routes are in order and everything in your settings.cfg is left as default. Otherwise just use @institutes11’s suggestion to specify the pms location. I think this is what he means…
I was able to get plexconnect to show my library, although it takes 60 seconds or so to load my movies list. I have turned off logging but I don’t notice an improvement.
