Plexconnect on Apple TV 3 not working on my Synology D1813+

First of all I’ve followed a bunch of steps from the forum:

I’ve got PlexConnect v0.5-17 installed and running.

I’ve change my network DNS settings to the IP address PlexConnect is running (From looking at the logs)(On my Apple TV 3).

I’ve tried adding the profile address in my Apple TV “http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.cer”.
I’v also tried “http://IP-ADDRESS/trailers.cer”.

When I’m adding the address in the profile its either giving me a 109 error or its just forever loading. Nothing happens.

I have had this working at some point last year. But ever since I upgraded my Synology DSM to 6.0.
I’m currently using D1813+ Synology running on DSM 6.0.2-8451.

Please can someone point me in the right direction?! Thanks!

all i can suggest is check the Synology end, Plex logs etc. (in both Connect and Media server)
looking to see that its providing the DNS calls when requested.

Like you I spent ages going around in the infinite-loop of getting my ATV3 to talk to the Synology.
even tried adding DNS Server app to the Synology… only to realise I had forgotten to add Plex Connect to the Syn!

good Luck!

Thanks but that’s not my case because my Apple TV 3 is able to talk to my Synology and streaming works, it’s the performance of the stream that is the problem with the Apple TV 3.

I also had trouble with the stream quality. It worked when I used a really long ethernet cable to test it hardwired. I think using an apple airport Extreme or possibly express will fix your stream. Make sure it’s close enough to get a really good 5ghz N signal.
