PlexConnect launchdaemon and OS X Server

I've managed to get PlexConnect running on OS X Server 4 (Yosemite) on two mac minis. However both exhibit the same problem when installed as autostart via install.bash.

 

If I restart the macs, and do:

sudo launchctl list | grep plexconnect

I'll get the following:

54	0	com.plex.plexconnect.bash

However, both Apple TVs I have will say "Trailers unavailable" and when I try to load 127.0.0.1:80 or :443 in a browser window, I get the standard OS X server "Websites not running message".

 

If I cd in to /Applications/PlexConnect/support/OSX and run the restart.bash script, and list the process as above, the process is listed (on a different ID) and PlexConnect will work on both Apple TVs, and loading 127.0.0.1:80 or :443 in a browser will produce the normal "Not serving client" error message

 

Anyone offer any solutions? I guess the obvious one would be to run the script on login to the admin account (which runs PMS)

Hello Papa Lozarou,

Can I please ask you to share how you managed to get PlexConnect working with OSX server 4. I have been trying for days now and it just keeps shutting down with errors. 

The tutorials on the web are outdated it seems. I think you would help out a lot of people with an update.

Thank you

I followed that guide but it seems outdated (updated in 2013)


The comments only confuse me more. That is why I am hoping for a new guide which I can follow and resembles the files and screens of OS X server 4 and the latest version of PlexConnect.
