When you launch PlexConnect, do you see anything like the below?
PlexGDM: servers discovered: 1
XMLConverter: PlexGDM - PMS: 192.168.1.80:32400 (or something similar)
Hmm, no.. Not what I can see, is that the problem?
That may well be the problem. It seems like your PlexConnect is not communicating with your PMS from what I can understand. You can specify the PMS IP manually in setings.cfg but this didn't work for me for some reason. I had to install PlexConnect 0.2 and this auto detected my PMS. I will try and send you the link for this once I get home.
I don't know if this is relevant to your setup or not but here goes.
When I started with this newer Plexconnect to my ATV3 it did not show any errors at all but the ATV would not connect. It also didn't show as connecting to my PMS on the same PC. I thought it was an error with my plexconnect/python setup so I tried everything over and over again but no joy. I decided to start from scratch and noticed I missed a little bit of code on the last part of creating the certificate, after I did this properly and used network to install the profile to the ATV3 it worked perfectly first time and the log files showed my Plex server.
Is it worth just deleting and recreating the cert and a clean install of PlexConnect and Python for the time it takes? I also put all 3 cert files in Assets as some tutorials said 2 and some 3. Don't forget to delete the profile on ATV and do a new one, I believe this makes a difference also.

Yes I had to do this as well.. When you delete the certificates, make sure you delete all installed certificates from your computer as well (On Windows PCs, run certmgr.msc and look in certificates store and delete all trailers.apple.com certificates) and start all over again.. Good luck!
If you manually specify the PMS IP in settings.cfg then you should disable GDM in settings.cfg or it will override the hard coded IP.

Thanks for this info. I shall try this as well :)

I had the same issue and this did the trick for me, my PMS ip in the plexconnect.cfg was being changed automatically to 192.168.78.10 everytime I shut the service down.

i tried that, and it still won´t work. But Pms IP, is that the same as the ip on my computer? Otherwise i done it wrong..
I´ve come to this day when I give up, I don´t know how to make it work so I just took it home on my ipad instead..And according to the comments it seem to suck, so yey!
But thanks everybody for trying to help me :) I come back and give it a new try soon...

I hard coded the IP in settings.cfg and disabled GDM but my media playback still stops randomly (does not actually stop, just seems to be buffering forever). Tested a few videos and still the same. I'll post a new thread with all the required details once I get home, thanks.
I am not getting the last line either:

That's fine - unless you enter the trailers app. GDM is not done any more unless needed - that is, when aTV needs to get content from PMS.
