Plexconnect is not working! HELP!

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:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you have the DNS server set to false then it is not going to work, unless you have setup your own DNS server and IP redirection (this is why it says on the wiki to not mess with those setting unless you know what you are doing).

I changed it back to True and here's the log. Any idea?

Try rebooting your PC and ATV.

If it gives the same port 53 error then you do have another DNS server running, use the following to find out what it is:

floyd:

aTV asks specifically for port 80. All of you logs show, that PlexConnect/WebServer is NEVER getting any request.

You can't just change it to your liking. If port 80 is already used on your server you either have to free it, or install a port forwarding to the port configured in PlexConnect.

Thank you Baa for your help !  :)


This is my QNAP Web Server configuration:

![post-156548-0-46875900-1375007810.png|690x272](upload://rJYrd1tEKJGTBBMklyeAybNIYbE.png)

It's OK?

This is my Setting.cfg configuration:

[PlexConnect]
port_pms = 32400
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_dnsmaster = 192.168.0.1 (Default Gateway to my home router, it's OK?)
ip_webserver = 192.168.0.250 (My QNAP adresse and Plex installation, it's OK?)
loglevel = High
enable_dnsserver = True
logpath = .
ip_pms = 192.168.0.250  (My QNAP adresse, Plex installation, it's OK?)
port_webserver = 80 (it's OK?)
48

Floyd, the web server port still shows 80 on Plexconnect, 82 on Qnap

49

I guess you have to add a second IP to your device and make the qnap listen to the old and original IP and let plexconnect use the new one, this should work, so both could use port 80.

Floyd, the web server port still shows 80 on Plexconnect, 82 on Qnap

What is the problem? It's correct, it is not?

51

I guess you have to add a second IP to your device and make the qnap listen to the old and original IP and let plexconnect use the new one, this should work, so both could use port 80. 

OK, but what is the process? I have firmware 4.0.1, it's not possible via web interface

52

no, I don't have any clue what OS is used by qnap, if its linux based its pretty simple by just adding another interface using ifconfig

53

OK, but what is the process? I have firmware 4.0.1, it's not possible via web interface

You are probably better off asking this in the QNAP specific thread.
