Been playing with PlexConnect on my ATV's this morning, great work guys. I've noticed I can only have one of my ATV's connected at a time - I don't mean multiple streams- if one ATV is connected, even just sitting in the menu, other ATV's will report back 'unable to access trailers' when trying to play content. Is this a known limitation?
It does not sound promising :wacko:
It is currently a limitation but it is also something we want to fix.
We might call on you to test if that is okay (we do not have multiple ATV's)?

Good to know - happy to test. I have 6 ATV's, 2 latest gen and 4 previous gen all running latest fw.
Not too shabby! David, that is one great setup :)

Well... he didn't say, they are hooked up to actual TVs...
Anyway, I currently really don't understand the issue. There is nothing in the code that forbids different aTVs to connect.
The only issue with multiple aTV right now should be, that you can't save different settings for each of them...
This issue sound similar to another report: aTV/PlexConnect connection dies, once you restart PMS or router... Another mystery :-)

They are all hooked up to TV's and used for Podcasts and as Airplay audio/video receivers... admittedly not for Plex...... for now. :-)

Patience, work is being undertaken 
Thank you, very excited about this my cc ready to purchase more atv3
Hey guys!
I would like to learn about your trouble with multiple aTVs.
1) I can't explain the issues described.
2) There are other comments: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/71212-trailers-is-unavailable-try-again-later/?p=412805
Please update the source (though there shouldn't be changes in that regard) and double check. When failing, please set the loglevel to High, recreate your issue and send the logs. I sure hope to find one or the other hint...
Bump bump bump...
I just connected multiple ATV3's... 3 in total, all working and streaming...
latest plex and latest firmware on ATV's
Ta BAA, !!! you guys rock!!!
I take this as a "no issues with several aTVs"... I still don't understand, why it wouldn't have worked before. Tststs.
Thanks for testing!
Works for me too. I have two ATV 3's on two separate TVs, one is on the main network, the second is on a wifi extender network. Both interfaces work at the same time with no difference in performance between the two. I played movies on both at the same time, and the only thing i noticed was that initial loading was a bit longer but that is probably a network thing.
