I installed the package without making any changes to Apache, etc. - just installed Python, the PlexConnect. Killed off my PhotoStation and any other app using Port:80. I uninstalled but it still does not fix the problem. Guess it made some changes to some config files somewhere. I have no .bak file. Anybody know what changes were made and how I can back them out or fix my system?
What you can try:
1) Move the plexconnect vhosts config to a new bak file:
This should bring you back in the original situation before plexconnect was installed (bwynants can confirm if this is still the case with the latest version).
Edit: Did you guys make any special adjustments to photostation besides installing it? Maybe I will try to install it too, to see if I can reproduce this behavior.
I tried your suggestion. However, plexconnect did add the httpd-vhosts.conf. It was not there before so reverting back is not possible.
With regards to the other file in directory EXTRA (httpd.conf-user). It is empty, meaning there are only comments in it. Addon: oeps…had to scroll down further…
I will try to change the httpd.vhosts.conf for the atv part to port 82. Would that work?

Many thanks for the quick reply. I ended up re-installing the Synology DSM which fixed the problem. I looked for files before I did this, but had no original vhosts*.bak file. Steps I did were as follows:
1. Running DSM4.2 with PhotoStation already installed
2. Installed Plex - all working
3. Installed the Community version of Python - all working
4. Installed PlexConnect from bwynants package - no longer able to access PhotoStation locally, via iOS apps or internet
if they add it, I plan on making addition patches for each dot 'release' of PlexConnect and Package Manager on Synology should inform you of updates automatically.
as long as it is not added I will update this post with the latest 'released' version
I have to investigate that further, however uninstalling PlexConnect should restore your files in the original state...
What the 0.1-1 installer forgets is to restart apache upon uninstall, the packagesources at https://github.com/bwynants/spksrc already do that correct but I did not yet build that version,
so either restart the NAS after uninstall or do /usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/S97apache-user.sh restart from the terminal
I got it installed ok, but no video plays (even lower quality stuff)
My NAS is a DS1512+ which has this against the 'transcode' column in that support spreadsheet: *May transcode some low bit-rate 720p media
So if I am to understand this correctly, no matter how hard I try, plexconnect will NOT play video?
Is there some way to make it play the stuff I've transcoded already using plexsync?
The best thing for you to do is use something like subler or iflicks to remux media into an ATV compatible format (it takes a few minutes for a movie with no quality loss).
First off, thanks for putting this package together.
I'm a newbie and not really familiar with unix. I installed plexconnect and changed the DNS server on the ATV to the one on my NAS. However now I'm getting a response saying "Trailers is unavailable. Try again later".
I'm trying to follow the steps, but can't figure out how to install Python from SynoCommunity. I've followed the first few steps in the link below, but I don't see a tab labelled "Other Sources" after adding the package source. Can someone help?
Before i have use port 80, and PlexConnect works fine.
But Synology-Photostation and so don't work on ios-Devices.
So i restored orig. Settings and Photostation works fine.... but i can not run PlexConnect. My AppleTV says always, that it can't connect. What I make wrong ?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
ATV Model: ATV3 running 5.0
DNS Server on ATV: 192.168.1.14
Device and OS: Synology 212j DSM 4.2
Local IP Address of NAS: 192.128.1.14
PMS: 0.9.7.28.33
At what point do you get the error message?
Are the files compatible with the ATV (i.e. will they play through iTunes), if not your NAS may not be powerful enough to transcode (check the list i have referenced a few times in this thread).
I have installed your updated plex connect 0.1.3 package but cannot run it.
Do you know how I can copy and paste log report so I can post?
download the .spk file in the first post, logon to your disk station, open package center, choose manual install (on top) and browse to the file you downloaded
