Hi everyone,

 

My apple tv suddenly didn't work this afternoon. It was working this morning.

I installed PlexConnect(version:0.2-8) on Synology(DSM 4.2), and hijack "WSJ" icon(The trailer icon was for other purpose).

When I enter https://secure.marketwatch.com/ in IE, it shown me HTTP 403 Access denial. I think PlexConnect is working.

 

So I can't figure out what's going on. Could you guys help me? Thanks.

 

By the way,is any prossiable I can change icon(not WSJ and trailer) for this service?

You can only change iMovie on iOS 5-7 out of the three typical hijacks. You can change trailers, wsj and iMovie on iOS 8+. There is a topic here https://forums.plex.tv/topic/95309-trailers-icon-to-plex-icon with instructions.

I am sorry, I didn't mean to change the icon style of Plex.

It just didn't work on my ATV, by the way, mine is ATV3, it can't be jailbroken.

Thanks for your answer., :)

You can change the icon on any aTV jailbroken or not. But if that wasn't your intention then never mind ;)

Anyway, after fix this issue, I would like to try it..

But I really have no idea to fix this issue.

First at all, I thought it was some hardware problem. So I reboot all the devices, ATV, PlexConnect and Plex.... It didn't get better. I also reset the config file, still got nothing.

Any idea for me?

Thanks.

I guess not.

I wasn't do any updating yesterday. Just watch TV like before, then It couldn't open and shown "WSJ unavailable".

And I also have checked. PlexConnect 0.5 needs DSM v5.0. I couldn't update to this version.

It was awful without ATV........... :(

I think it's better to upgrade to the latest PlexConnect. Here is what you can do if you have a Windows PC:

  1. Install 7-zip
  2. Create another copy of the PlexConnect 0.2-8 installer. Let's call it the spk file
  3. Create a zip from github from the 0.5 version of PlexConnect. Let's call it the zip file
  4. Open the spk file with 7-zip, navigate to package.tgz -> package.tar -> share -> PlexConnect. Delete all the files and folders except Settings.cfg
  5. Open the zip file with 7-zip, navigate until you find the same files as you deleted from the spk, and copy all of them (drag & drop) from the zip to the spk file
  6. (optionally) if you have your own certs, you can put them in this changed spk file (navigate to package.tgz -> package.tar -> etc -> Certificates)
  7. Save the spk file, and do a manual install in your Syno (I suggest that you also upgrade Python to the latest SynoCommunity version)

With DSM 4.x you can have the latest PlexConnect, but not the latest PMS. Go to the PMS archives and select 0.9.9.14. This is the latest version you can install.

After this update, if you still have the problem, please post the required info using this template.

Edit: You can also use WinSCP to update the installed PlexConnect with the zip downloaded in point 3. above (stop PlexConnect / update with WinSCP / run). I do not suggest the "git clone" method during some days because it will install a "not very stable" PlexConnect version, see this.

Thank you so much for this detail instruction.

I have fixed this issue because the cert expired on ATV.. I have created a new one.

ATV is back to live.

:p
