Hi all,

 

Complete simpleton here. I have plex at home working with plex connect and ATV3 no issues. My inlaws love it and wanted it at their house so i stupidly said i'll give it a go. No idea why its not working at theirs.

Windows 7

Python 2.7.7

Plexconnect - current

Plex Media server - Current.

 

Followed this one which worked fine at home

https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide

 

and tried this one as well

This is what i am getting.

 

17:18:25 PlexConnect: IP_self: 192.168.15.188
17:18:25 DNSServer: started: 17:18:25

Changed DNS setting on aTV?

Firewall? Set exceptions for Python, ports 53,80,443?

Changed the DNS setting on the aTV already.

Has windows firewall. Tried the ports exception for python just now with no success.

Just remembered I did the certs onto the ATV's at my house to save time here. Is that my mistake?

Edit: Thanks for the quick reply, just saw and replied while heading for food lol.

Also after running the ATV i got below coming up

If you also copied the cert files to your new PlexConnect installation you should be fine.

If you however created new ones at your parents', you have to install those... key and lock have to be a perfect fit.

Awesome. Thanks mate. I tried the wifi way to do the cert onto ATV but no dice so I’ll go grab the cable from my house and give it another go. Thanks again.

6

delete the old one first...

Thanks mate. Deleted the old certs and profiles and redid it and worked perfectly.


Thanks for the help. I was just hoping it was something else so I didn’t have to get the cable and go back again lol.
