Plexconnect - Can't connect

Dev Community Apps & Creations

When I open trailers on my apple tv it says no media servers found. I also feel my plexconnect terminal on my computer keeps running the same loop. 

 

Here is my log file

In the log you can see that PlexGDM is not able to find your Plex Media Server.  Can you post details of the PMS version , IP address etc.

ALso if you edit the Settings.cfg file you can add the PMS's IP address in the ip_pms = section

I am currently having a similar issue. I have my settings.conf set as followed:

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False
ip_pms = 192.168.2.44
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = True
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False
ip_plexconnect = 192.168.2.44
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
allow_gzip_atv = False
allow_gzip_pmslocal = False
allow_gzip_pmsremote = True
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .

It has been worked perfect before. I now get intermittent outages and constantly receive the errors

" DNSServer: Warning: DNS error (10054): An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host " which I did not get before.

I use PIA for VPN and the only other thing I tried is changing my ip_dnsmaster line to match PIA’s DNS serve IPs. This did not make a difference. I know this thread is old but I am hoping I can still get some help. I am on plexconnect version .5
