Auto discovery fails for you.

Set:

enable_plexgdm = False

ip_pms = -your-PMS-IP-address- (currently as auto discovery fails, it tried to reach 192.168.178.10 and dies, no answer.

Firewall?

Also, your PlexConnect log seems a bit rusty: "PlexConnect-0.1-iOS-pre5.1". Any reason NOT to update to the latest?

Sorry to resurect an old thread, but these possible sollutions relate to the same issue.

I just experienced this No PMS found after upgrading PMS to Version 0.9.11.7, Plexconnect to Version 0.5, ATV3 to Version 7.0.2 and changing ISP, static public IP and static private IP all one after another... Imagine my dilema...

To make things more complicated, I have both PMS and Plexconnect starting as services... And had previously changed the PMS port from 34200...

Anyway, after 3 hours, I now have it working properly again so i thought i would share the steps i took to rectify the issue/s... There were obviously many more fruitless attempts and efforts made, but these are the two things that ended up resolving my issues.

I found I had to edit the settings.cfg to eliminate the gdm Auto Discovery, and completely customise it, including carriage returns that were missing in the default file:

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False
ip_pms = 192.168.1.22  <--  Your PMS server static IP
port_pms = 32400  <-- this appears to have to be 32400 even thought my PMS is 32422
enable_dnsserver = True
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = x.x.x.x  <-- I changed the default google dns to my ISP's dns for speed reasons but x'd it out here for privacy reasons, change this to your ISP's DNS
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True
ip_plexconnect = 192.168.1.22  <--  Your Plexconnect server static IP
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .
 

I also found i had to use regedit to add a service dependency to the Plexconnect service (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Plexconnect). The value to add is "Tcpip" so that plexconnect doesn't try to run until the PC has it's static IP address sorted. I realised this as once i had it working from within a consol logon, it still wouldn't work on reboot, with the log stopping prior to the IP_PMS line.

I hope this helps someone, and i urge others to post their findings once they sort their issues, otherwise the sollutions are never shared.

Thanks guys for all your indirect help in the forums!
