Heya all,
Been trying to get plexconnect to work on my synology at home but for some reason it keeps failing, now i dont need the DNS part since im hard forwarding on our router :) Apart from that why is the forward to port 81 when port 80 might also be used? or is it not possible to use port 80 together with other sites?
It seems when i install it and manually disable the DNS part it works on port 81 but not when i go to trailers.apple.com:80 that gives a permission error, any idea?
Isn't port 80 normally used for the Synology setup pages?
It is at port 81 because apache can be running on port 80 to serve user websites. If in your case you do not have apache running, you can change the plexconnect config to use port 80 and then forwarding to 80 will work. As soon as you will do something that requires a website (e.g. Photostation) it will fail however.Heya all,

Yes but for some reason the port forwarding you put in from 80 > 81, so it would be going through on 81 wont work for me. When i then visit trailers.apple.com it shows:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
When i Type :81 behind it i get the normal page:
Error response
Error code 403.
Message: Not Serving Client 192.168.1.27.
But 80 should forward to 81 right?
Yes but for some reason the port forwarding you put in from 80 > 81, so it would be going through on 81 wont work for me.
The thing is i dont think my router can forward port 80 to 81 since its LAN side. I think you can only port forward things like that if its WAN > LAN. I was hoping it could do if trailers.apple.com then auto go to 81 (synology).
Guess ill move it back to the Mac :)
What is wrong with editing the config and let plexconnect run on port 80?
Because i also have other things i need port 80 for on the synology ;)
atv will always go to trailers.apple.com:80, nothing that can be done on that. On NAS there can only be one service running on port 80. When the spk package is installed, it installs some files for apache to redirect the trailers.apple.com:80 to a connection running on port 81 (PlexConnect)
So is something else as apache is running you must handle the port forwarding yourself, there is no way around that.
I had apache running (just enable websites for synology?) but the redirect for trailers.apple.com from 80 to 81 was not happening.
how does the forwarding on the router work? it must end up at the nas with the correct hostname (trailers.apple.com) or it will not work...
It does go to the NAS yes but there it opens on port 80 (when i enter trailers.apple.com in my browser) and i get this msg:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
and does the forwarding from the router pass on the hostname correctly? try reinstalling plexconnect?
Yes it forwards it right, when i ping trailers.apple.com it goes to 192.168.1.8 which is our synology, when i type that in a browser i keep getting the error msg. Tried reinstalling the package twice now, keep getting this error msg. The only thing i disabled in the .cfg is the DNS server as i dont need that part.
