plexconnect impairing US Netflix access...

Just got the plexconnect working on my apple tv 3 and realize that i lost my US Netflix access that i used to have with a US Dns… any suggestions on a workaround?

Put the correct DNS forwarding into Settings.cfg...

Thank you for the superfast reply!

Im kinda a noob and thus i wonder how/where in the settings.cfg i change/add?

Thanks!

ip_dnsmaster

Whoa. Even faster. 8min vs 2min. I am impressed. :-D

Which ip would be put into the settings.cfg file? The PMS ip or the Netflix DNS?

7

You put the ip of the DNS spoofing service you are using under ip_dnsmaster in settings.cfg.

Netflix still does not work. 

I have the PMS IP in the ATV's manual DNS. Then my settings.cfg file looks like this:

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
port_webserver = 80
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
ip_dnsmaster = *NETFLIX SPOOF*
loglevel = Normal
enable_dnsserver = True
logpath = .
ip_pms = 192.168.178.10
enable_plexgdm = True
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_ssl = 443
enable_webserver_ssl = True
prevent_atv_update = True
port_dnsserver = 53
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True

What am I doing wrong? I can get both to work when either the spoof or the PMS is in the ATV's DNS... but obviously not at the same time...

aTV's internal settings point your PlexConnect machine. PlexConnect forwards DNS requests (other then trailers) to "ip_dnsmaster". Putting your original DNS server there should work.

Ok great! I got it working! I just needed to restart PlexConnect after changing the config file. 

Slightly off topic - how to I get back into the PlexConnect DNSServer in Terminal after I've exited Terminal?

I cant edit tne Settings.cfg file, says "Locked".....

Unlock it and change its permissions ;)

Quit PlexConnect, right click the file and select get info

Shutting down the terminal window should also shut down PlexConnect, doesn't it? Basically you shouldn't exit terminal...

Get a new one going, if PlexConnect is still running, kill those tasks... and restart.

We are working on merging the OSX daemon stuff... this should help with the terminal window issues. :-D

The daemon stuff already works in OSX already, as long as you are not trying to start it at boot.
If you are using the bash script to start it then replace start with stop.
