When cloning use git:// insteed of https:// not sure if it that is all. Did a lot of pokeing with git before this.
just to confirm, doing this will update plexconnect from within the Apple TV?
sudo su
cd /Applications
git clone git://github.com/i...PlexConnect.git
No. You have to update on a different plexconnect host then sftp the new version over. I have been thinking about a way to make a have my .deb from another post that you can install from nitoTV but no eta or guarantee if & when that will happen if possible.

I will probably need to change the .deb a little bit but it hopefully will work.
Looks like saurik or whomever maintains SQLite3 deb has updated the code for the ios 5.3 jb. Just type this in a terminal window:
apt-get -f install
This will correct the dependency that was missing so you can install any of the updated appletv flash black plugins or other nito-tv apps for ios 5.3 and properly installs python.
Now I can use rowmote to control plexconnect so I don’t have to search for a remote now I just have to find any ios device for controlling my entire atv2 
-update
This also fixed the reboot issue on the 5.3 jb that would cause the atv to reboot a few times to load the main screen, it now boots up straight away nice!
If it removes your python just run these commands followed by a reinstall of python from the OP:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Hi,
I have ran apt-get -f install
and then apt-get update
and then apt-get upgrade
and then dpkg -i python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb
and I am getting this :
Apple-TV:~ root# dpkg -i python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb
(Reading database ... 3512 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace python 2.7.3-3 (using python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement python ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python:
python depends on sqlite3; however:
Package sqlite3 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing python (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

Apple-TV:~ root#
Am I doing something wrong??
Many thanks
apt-get -f install
Then follow the rest of the tutorial. You probably need to reinstall python also.
If you type in “Python” after that what does it say?
I think I have installed it now I just re-done
apt-get -f install
and then apt-get update
and then apt-get upgrade
and then dpkg -i python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb
And I got no error message, I’m trying to workout how to install Plexconnect now, with not much success!!
When trying to install plexconnect Iam getting a permission denied message, please see below
Apple-TV:/private/PlexConnect root# /private/PlexConnect/support/OSX*/install.bash
-sh: /private/PlexConnect/support/OSX/install.bash: Permission denied
Apple-TV:/private/PlexConnect root#
Has anyone else had this??
Use Cyberduck to copy across the whole folder to eg the Applications folder, you should not get any permissions issues then
Cheers, I have managed to install Plexconnect on my apple tv2 and it has its own app on the screen it is not in the trailers app, Is there a myplex setting so I can enter a username and password or do you have to set it up different??
Thanks
The first page you start at (the root) - it is along the top under settings
Hi,
I found the settings file thank you, and I put my username and password in and rebooted my Atv, when I select the Plex Connect icon on the Atv’s home screen it says “not available please try later” do you access plex through the plex connect icon or the trailer icon because I am sure I read in previous posts it was through the trailer icon.
Anyway there is no plex library content in the trailer icon also.
Any idea’s please
u access plex through the plex connect icon. have u copied ur settings.cfg like mentioned from wahlman.j ?
Yes I have copied my settings, do I have to put the ip address of my pms or is just putting my user name and password in the settings file all I need??
thanks
Also, how do you know if Python has installed correctly??
Thanks
connect via terminal to the apple tv and just type "Python" it will tell u which version u installed. my atv2 stays in my living room so i set the ip_pms to the ip adress of my mac running pms
@f00b4r just upgraded plexconnect on my atv to the latest build on github and everything works fine but in settings i get ((ERROR:SETTING)) on home video view and subtitle renderer and the version stills says 0.3.1+ can i fix this somehow ?
If I type Python in terminal I get this message -sh: Python: command not found
Also I have noticed when I am installing ./install.bash
I get a certificate error, please find below
Apple-TV:/private/var/root/PlexConnect/support/OSX root# ./install.bash
SSL certificate /private/var/root/PlexConnect/assets/certificates/trailers.pem not found.
- is it stored in a different place?
-> make sure to edit Settings.cfg and restart PlexConnect
- did you already create one?
-> run createcert.bash

Post #127 in this topic has a full tutorial for ios 5.3 which is what I assume you are running, it really doesn’t get much easier then that. All the questions you keep asking have been anwsered in that tutorial if you followed it.
Very sorry just struggling a bit with it
