23

Please post the contents of your settings.cfg again.

24

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 192.168.2.7
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8enable_dnsserver = True
enable_dnsserver = True

I posted a message up there, do you know why i should open first PlexConnect.py, before Plex Media Server ? It's working without problem. Am i doing something wrong ?

[PlexConnect]port_pms = 32400enable_plexgdm = Trueip_pms = 192.168.2.7ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8enable_dnsserver = Trueenable_dnsserver = True 


192.168.56.1 - what is this the IP of?
Do you have e.g. An IOS device running Plex on this IP?

No but I am interest in finding out why, can you start a fresh thread and include the template from the how to report a problem link (in sticky) please as I need more detail.
It is late here though so will prob be the morning when I look at it.

idk what 192.168.56.1 is....i do not have any devices running plex accept my computer

29

Here's mine, if i run Plexconnect.py after Plex Media Server ![post-142985-0-04519900-1370852032.jpg|675x341](upload://hegIbaJP159MPHNDi6rOpFda4nm.jpg)

My Plex Media Server gets another ip like you.

Right click Plex media server and exit. Than run Plexconnect.py (you will see in that line "no servers discovered" but your PMS ip will be your computer local ip ) and start your Plex Media Server.

Did you try this ?

30

And neither of you have ipads, iphone or android devices with the plex client on?

31

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 192.168.2.7
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8enable_dnsserver = True
enable_dnsserver = True
 

Also make sure there is a carriage return after 8.8.8.8

32

STILL DOES NOT WORK!!!!

33

@kmanleafs it would be really nice if you follow this guide https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/How-to-report-an-issue

34

cfg file...

>> ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8enable_dnsserver = True

That doesn't look right, should be in two lines.

35

It connects to the apple tv but now i have another problem....look at the picture....that happens and then the apple tv says trailers is unavailble

What do i do??

36

Please read the post above me!!!!!

37

kmanleafs... Skip the screenshots, find the PlexConnect.log in your directory. Post that.

If in trouble, set settings.cfg "loglevel" to High. This gives even more info to look at...

38

Thanks for your reply Baa...unfortunately i do not have a file named PlexConnect.log and in settings.cfg...there is nothing that says loglevel...

Anything else i can do???

39

Perhaps you need to update Plexconnect. The recent versions produce a log file inside the Plexconnect template folder.

40

ATV Version: 3

DNS on the ATV: 192.168.0.7

Device and OS: PC - Windows 7

Local Plexconnect IP: 192.168.0.7

Media stored: Local drive

Plex media server installed on same machine as Plexconnect.

Settings.CFG

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
ip_webserver = 0.0.0.0
loglevel = Normal
enable_dnsserver = False
ip_pms = 192.168.0.7
port_webserver = 80

Hopefully this issue is similar enough to what's happening here but I'm stuck here. Obviously nothing on the ATV3 had changed. I had an error message before so I changed the "enable_dnsserver" to false and it took care of it but I'm still stuck.

Here's my log file:

08:33:49 PlexConnect: started: 08:33:49

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
