I am using the latest version of Plexconnect 0.5.8 on my Synology NAS, and looked at the log and it keeps shutting down everytime I attempt to run it. I don't recall this ever happened before. Since I haven't used my AppleTV in months, I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Everything was working fine months ago. But I recently decide to use my AppleTV to access my Plex media and found out that plexconnect won't run anymore. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall and the problem still exists. Here's what my plexconnect log shows:
Restart your Synology. Some other service has “hijacked” port 443 (https), when plexconnect tries to set its web ssl mini server it can not bind to the standard 443 (it’s already in use) so it gracefully shut itself down.
Doing a simple restart will usually fix everything in 8 min. if it was working before and you have not enabled in HTTPS connections for Web Services in the Control Panel/Web Services.
The pro way: if you are proficient in unix administration, it’ll take less than 8 min., using the console (terminal) trace back the service and process that is listening on port 443 and kill it —> then report it here which one was.
For the rest of us: shutdown and restart 8 min… Sometimes ■■■■ happens.
Thanks I will retry to restart my NAS. If that doesn't work, can you show me how to use the unix commands to trace back what process is using port 443?
Update, I restarted my NAS and now it works! Thanks for the advice! :)
