PlexConnect not working even after new ATV work around

institute: The error "Failed to access certificate: *" is logged always - in case of the error that is.

steve:

>> I'm trying to paste in an image, but I'm having difficulty.  My Netgear router, in the services, has entry #8 for port 443.  Would this be stopping it from working?

I don't know...

OK. I was just thinking that during this transition it may be more efficient to have an explicit reference to the cert file path in the normal log setting so we know for a fact that people are up to date. It will become less of an issue as more time passes, of course.

Yeah... we could probably add something.

- Ignore below, meant to start new post. 

I followed the instructions carefully and read through the forum but still get the 'trailers not available' message.

Mac OS X 10.7.5

Python 2.7.5 (v2.7.5:ab05e7dd2788+

Atv 5.3 (6105)

Latest Plex Connect version

Plex Media Server 0.9.8.6.175

Navigating to https://192.168.1.8:443 results in 'certificate is unknown' message (points to the certificate I created and put on ATV)

Tried both the absolute and complete path. Full restart of Mac & ATV before after changing settings; same result.

any clue?

Sounds like issues with te certificate in the atv. Delete the current. Certificate/profile and redo those steps

Life saver!

Now works like a dream. Many thanks

EDIT: SOLVED motherf..-.- trailers.pem was d/led and used on the iMac while trailers.cer was d/led on my MacAir and sent to aTV; transferred  .pem that came with .cer on my air to my imac and it worked.. i can sleep now.

Mac OS X: 10.6.8

Python: 2.7.5

ATV: 5.2.1

PlexConnect: Latest; Master

PMS: 0.9.8.6.175

It was working perfectly fine when i set it up on Windows 7 until I changed it back to my older iMac (DHCP reservation and all configured again on the Mac)

[] I've deleted and redid the steps for Certificate/profile following -> http://langui.sh/2013/08/27/appletv-ssl-plexconnect/ - Fail

[] Restarted the mac and atv - Fail

[] Tried both the default "./assets/certificates/trailers.pem" and absolute "/Users/Reira/Documents/PlexConnect-master/assets/certificates/trailers.pem" filepath. - Fail

Always ending up with "Trailer is unavailable..."

Typing in "10.0.1.10:80" returned:

Hi, 

after trying everything I found online (follow step by step, reboot client & server, delete/restore cert, check path...), I still can't make it work !

here are the logs i get :

I don't understand the 20:20:18 WebServer: serving application.js line. What does it refer to ?
 
I'm running both plexconnect and PMS on my synology NAS (DSM 4.3).
It used to work before atv security update. (atv currently on ios 5.3)
 
Atv always shows the "trailer unavailable, try again later" error...
 
thanks ;-)

Try the Synology thread in this forum for help with your particular setup.

Thanks guys! I set it up from start back home and it worked perfectly!

I have a question regarding streaming through Apple TV 3. Is it always have to be dependable to a Computer running plex media server? What if I just want to stream channels like 1Channel or IceFilms directly to ATV3 let say from an iPad/iPhone?

No strong need for a running PMS. But with the changed DNS setting in aTV (for PlexConnect) you need a local DNS up. This doesn't need to be a computer - a lot of people run it on a NAS or the DNS part on the router...
