I meant it not being hosted on any webserver but directly injected, although i am not sure that is possible.
Opening up a webserver to the world and his dog isn't really a good idea.
Walhman, in plain english, what do you think has changed in the PlexConnect code that means you cannot host the bagplist on the PlexConnect server now? You aid oyu used the PlexConnect webserver from older code, which commit is it?

You are not the only one, although tbh the only real advantage is that it would allow a PlexConnect app wihtout having the ugly add site button on screen.
Maybe hosting on the PlexConnect webserver is the cleanest way.

Me and baa are talking about it he knows the issue. Im not sure of the commit but, its here also as a downloadable zip also [http://atv.plexconnect](http://atv.plexconnect) changed in all the js files to something unusable by addsite it was broken here:

Addsite can be hidden with parental controls easily.

No worries, its just how the plexconnect app works with addsite, the forum leads are looking into it as we speak, no eta just give them time.

A couple of "AddSite" news, that will render the external web server un-needed.
ExtraInternetCategories.plist
This one is perfectly happy with an URL pointing to the local filesystem - eg...
```
file 'colon' ///Applications/PlexConnect/support/iOS/bag.plist
```
bag.plist
Similar here: drop the thumbnail into your PlexConnect folder on aTV and access it like...
```
file 'colon' ///Applications/PlexConnect/assets/thumbnails/plexconnect.png
```
With this - I guess - we have a somewhat "native" Plex client on your jailbroken aTV. Carry along, no need for an extra host.
Edit:
Re-added the example lines. Based on the 'file colon slash slash', forum software ate them for breakfast. Now adding them as "code" - replacing ':' by 'colon'.
Sorry, guys!

You have been missing a step but will let Baa tell you what it is as he deserves credit.

The rule of thumb that I can tell from using addsite thus far is, if you cannot visit the bag.plist from a webrowser such as 192.169.1.101:1224/bag.plist the atv cannot see it either. This really isnt a big deal because at this time you need to host not run plexconnct from a webserver anyways to use plexconnect via its own app added by addsite. If the was a way to host the bag.plist and the modified files on the atv this would not be an issue as an actual webserver. If you cannot see these via a webserver neither can the atv:

yeah but it looks like baa managed to add the bag.plist directly into the tv and point the extrainternetcathegories to it.. and then we dont need the addsite..
or the webserver at home hosing the bag list

I wonder if he did it without the ip whatsoever putting it in the root. I will test and see, I tried with [http://127.0.0.1/bag.plist](http://127.0.0.1/bag.plist) maybe he is just using bag.plist in the extrainternetcatagories.
