Plexconnect DNS shutting down randomly

I'm having a problem with the Plexconnect DNS randomly shutting down, here's a copy of my log: http://pastebin.com/fTPVizjY and my system information:

 

OS: Windows 8 x64

Apple TV version: 3

Apple TV firmware: 6.0

Apple TV IP: 192.168.1.178

DNS server: 192.168.1.131

Plex Media Server IP: 192.168.1.131

Plex Media Server: 0.9.8.6

Plexconnect version: 0.2

 

My Settings.cfg file:

port_pms = 32400
port_webserver = 80
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
loglevel = Normal
enable_dnsserver = True
logpath = .
ip_pms = 192.168.1.131
enable_plexgdm = False
port_ssl = 443
enable_webserver_ssl = True
ip_webserver = 0.0.0.0
prevent_atv_update = True
port_dnsserver = 53
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True
 

This crash/shut down has happened multiple times and always ends with the following in the log file. 

 

10:09:32 DNSServer: DNS request received!
10:09:32 DNSServer: Source: ('192.168.1.178', 51646)
10:09:32 DNSServer: Domain: atv.plexconnect
10:09:32 DNSServer: ***intercept request
10:09:32 DNSServer: -> DNS response: 192.168.1.131
10:09:32 DNSServer: Shutting down.
 
I have tried a few things with no success: turning off PlexGDM as suggested in another thread, making sure both the computer and the aTV have static IPs, have tried both Plexconnect version 0.2 and the latest Github version.
 
I can't seem to isolate why it happens, it seems to happen when I'm in the middle of accessing things on the aTV (like after a video was finished), or after the aTV wakes from sleep. I should also note that Plexconnect works perfectly fine before the DNS shutdown and a restart of the computer/restarting the python program fixes the problem. Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi!

Any resolution. I have exactly the same issue and it starts to get very annoying!

It is unlikely that you are using SW versions from 3 years ago… So please post your current version (Python, PlexConnect, Operating system), Settings.cfg, and log (with loglevel = High)
