What is missing?
If you can see the library it means PlexConnect is running correct.
Now this is out of my hands as I only created the installer....

OK, I found the problem :)
Authentication is needed for all the new multiuser stuff options like different users/computers (incl. local users) can track watched/unwatched movies and for me as a admin se "Now playing".
To get this to work I have to uncheck it
OK, I found the problem :)
Cool!
most simple way of installing:
- PMS on NAS
- install Package and enter 8.8.8.8 in the wizard
- goto ATV and set the DNS server to the IP address of the NAS
fixed the first post to reflect that....
You my friend are a legend! Even i could make it work now ;)
IT WORKS. Thankyou all
Is there a way to UNDO the changes made by this spk, just in case someone wants to?
OR
Can someone tell me what files to remove/edit to get the synology back to factory state?
You Sir are a GENIOUS.
This is FANTASTIC.
I hated having to leave my computer on for the PlexConnect thing to work. Now my synology is on all the time, and this is beautiful.

uninstalling the package should restore your NAS just fine to how it was.
another error - on a mac i have downloaded the .spk file; my mac for some reason renames it with a .txt suffix. i renamed it back to the .spk file but on trying to install the dsm gives me a network error - failed to upload the file please check your network connection.....
also, does dns have to be running on the synology? if so are there setup instructions?
thanks

try downloading again, should work just fine. You did rename it correctly? I'm using it on an iMac myself....
as for the DNS that is build in and set up via the wizard, either use your existing DNS IP, if you are in doubt just type 8.8.8.8 in the wizard
Brill - it worked!
Steps i took (on DS413J, DSM 4.2.latest):
Unedited synology apache config to set port back to 80 - if you never changed it via terminal, ignore this step.
In synology control panel started then stopped web service to apply above change
Added http://packages.synocommunity.com as a package source in package centre settings
Installed python from synocommunity (the one in the community section of pc, not the synology version)
Manually installed plexconnect as downloaded from above dropbox link (had to remove the .txt suffix my mac added in error - do this via a get info window, as the txt suffix may have been hidden by finder)
In setup of plexconnect set dns to 8.8.8.8
Set appletv3 dns address to ip address of my synology - >settings>general>network>set dns to manual and edit.
AND IT WORKED!!
Many thanks for this.
question re plex library organisation:
i have pointed the plex server to my movies folder on my DS. this contains loads of subfolders - torrent folders with all the files etc. Plex seems to have garbled the files, where clicking on play movie A plays movie B - do I need a flat structure of movies in the folder?
oops - spoke too soon; apple tv loads the content thumbnails in trailer section, but on trying to play a movie i get "an error occurred loading this content" any ideas anyone?
is there a list of formats supported by plexconnect? one of the failed plays was an avi
seem to get the above error on all files, despite plex serving them as available.
Read this (you can check your model with the link right at the bottom of the page):
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/FAQ:_Plex_Media_Server_and_NAS
The desktop client has much richer codec support than the ATV2/3 so you need to check if your NAS is apple of transcoding if needed, if it is not then you need to look at using something like iFlicks to remux your movies.
This worked great. Thanks! Have it up and running.
I tried restarting my Synology NAS for an unrelated reason, and it looks like the PlexConnect Package does not auto run at startup, is this correct? Have there been instructions given to remedy this? Thanks.
Is it possible to implement this version of PlexConnect in to this spk?
https://github.com/plexinc/PlexConnect/tree/new-movie-sections
I believe this has some addtional tweaks done by the Plex people in addition to what Baa made to PlexConnect.
Not a big priority I understand, but just curious.

Maybe ;)
See the roadmap on the wiki.
What i was referring to was the fact that this is already done. The only thing is that this for running plex connect on a computer. I was wondering if someone could take the files in the zip folder here (https://github.com/plexinc/PlexConnect/archive/new-movie-sections.zip) and make a synology spk?
