PlexConnect on a NAS drive (ReadyNAS).?

I have now packaged PlexConnect into a readynas install  bin file for x86 OS4 hardware.

So would you know how to add a channel to plex on the readynas? In particular I was thinking of adding Navi-X

Just be aware that channels aren't ever added on any of the Plex clients, they are added on the Plex Media server.
You may struggle to get them working if you do not have enough CPU to transcode.

Just to let you all know i'm back to square one. Frontview crashed and reinstall os has killed PlexConnect :(

Hi

i was after some help installing plex connect on a readynas 516. ive done a git clone but i cant get plex connect to start as i believe ports 80 and 53 are already in use on this nas so some explination of port redirecting would be great too

any help would be much appreciated

thanks!

BTW:

With the latest commit of PlexConnect the update procedure of the addon (without getting a new bin file) should be as simple as:

cd /etc/frontview/addons/bin/PLEXCONNECT/PlexConnect
env GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git pull 

It could be good if someone could feedback me whether this alternate update method works  :rolleyes:

Hi Chrobrego,

sorry for the late reply.

This alternate update method works perfect!

Big Thanks!

HI Chrobrego

Is their any chance you could create a new bin file so it could be installed from FrontView?

I have no idea how to get it working any other way.

have tried but no idea how to ssh or use guit

your file has been great, my netgear pro 6 has been working perfect.

thanks for all your help :D

followed the instructions but cant get it to work :( my DNS server isnt working propperly somehow, i see nothing but computer and settings.

i run a readynas ultra 2, OS is debian 4

---- edit

DNS working propperly now but it is not intercepting the trailers. log doesnt show anything new....

with PMS 9.7.22 it shows green all the time, on 9.8 it doesnt so i downgraded, still no trailers working as it should :(

---- edit

installed python, then the addon for plexconnect. DNS are working correct, but trailers shows nothing

my log now works, it shows:

when i push trailers it does nothing but show the apple trailers :P
 
the apple tv has the IP of 11 at the end, so i'd say it should be intercepting there. is the DNS not functioning propper?

Hi Chrobrego,

What do I need to use to update your bin file that I uploaded on 31/7/2013 to latest git for plexconnect?

I tried using putty but I don't know what I am doing, that is why I used your bin file and uploaded through front view on my readynas in the first place.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

or a new package :D

thanks

Hi shadow.jedi, I have created a new bin file.

To use ssh from Windows you can use the putty software.

HI Chrobrego

thanks for the new file.

greatly appreciated :D

Hi mindsmonk, Have you configured the DNS settings of your Apple TV so it points to PlexConnect ? (192.168.178.15 in your case)

woohooo with a downgrade from PMS to non plexpass it works! cheers mate, needed a full reinstall plus the DNS!

Hi Chrobrego,

I have tried to ssh through Windows using the putty software with the commands, but I was unable to update plexconnect.

sorry to ask you again is their any chance you could update the bin file again.

I will most likely have to get some help from a friend on how to update through putty.

also want to get the update to stop atv updating. :mellow: 

thanks for your help :D

I have created a new bin file. I will look also to the possibility to create a bin that update itself.

Cannot test that update since Apple TV trailer seems not to work with PlexConnect today according to other posts from the forum

thank you :D 

Apparently there is a fix out there, but can't make it work as I fail to make the port forwarding with SSL (443 is used by readynas already)

So this is the End with ReadyNAS and Plexconnect?
