Everything works except there aren't any thumbnails.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

  • Your ATV model (2 or 3) and firmware version (found under the ATV settings > general > about > Apple TV software):  ATV 3 ios 5.3

  • The DNS server set on the ATV (found under the ATV settings > general > network > DNS): 173.212.85.246

  • The device and operating system (including version number) that PlexConnect is installed on:  iMac - Mountain Lion 10.8.4

  • The local IP address of the device that PlexConnect is installed on:  173.212.85.246

  • The device and operating system (including version number) that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: iMac - Mountain Lion 10.8.4

  • The Plex media server (PMS) version number you are running (**do not put 'latest'**): 0.9.7.28

  • The local IP address of the device that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: 173.212.85.246

  • 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 testing branch e.g. the Elan/PlexInc one.   I'm using the BAA PlexConnect.app

  • [PlexConnect]
    port_pms = 32400
    enable_plexgdm = True
    ip_dnsmaster = 208.122.23.22
    ip_webserver = 0.0.0.0
    loglevel = High
    enable_dnsserver = True
    logpath = .
    ip_pms = 173.212.85.246
    port_webserver = 80

You are using a public IP for your PMS and not its local one, it s not a supported configuration.

Search the forum for a workaround but you will expose your PMS to anyone on the Internet who wishes to suck up your bandwidth.

f00b4r... as long as enable_plexgdm is True, the ip_pms doesn't really matter - well, there even is no good reason to change it :-). PlexConnect will connect to the address returned by PlexGDM, nothing else.

In the beginning ip_pms was also used as a fallback in case of a negative GDM outcome. But I think, this is long gone...

Baa that is true if they have a local server.

It may be that they do not as they put in a public IP address and are suffering symptoms that you get when connecting through a public IP.

To get your thumbs working and direct play. I had to in PMS settings add my external ip I was coming from with the atv.

Thanks guys for your time.

Where do I get my local IP or external IP address?

From a computer located on the same network as your atv http://www.whatismyip.com to get the external ip you are connecting from.

However if your atv is already connected directly to the internet via external ip you can just check in the network settings on the atv.

Can't seem to get the right IP.

I've tried my router's 10.0.1...etc

External 71.246....etc

Internal 173.212...etc

Tried putting external into PMS web manager url.

Not a big deal I s'pose.

I noticed you said you were using the “Baa Plexconnect.app”. Not really sure what that means. Have you tried using the the most recent Github version?

Also, the IP is usually that of the computer running Plexconnect which I get from going into the Network PreferencePane of OSX System Preferences.

You can also use your DYDNS address or similar in there, if you have one.

It means never having to alter it if you IP changes ;)

Credit to M. Latte for checking that one out :)
