I have PlexConnect running in a screen session on my unRAID box. Connect via telnet or ssh to your server and type the following:
screen sudo python /path/to/PlexConnect/directory/PlexConnect.py
you can then detach from your screen session (Ctrl-a d), and then you can close your terminal window.
Just finished installing PlexConnect manually following the official guide. I got stuck in the "serving application.js" and took me few hours of debugging to realise that on unRAID you need to have Python 2.7.3. With Python 2.6.6 it gets stuck and with 2.7.5 "python PlexConnect.py" throws exceptions. In the PlexConnect wiki both 2.6.x and 2.7.x are listed as working but at least on unRAID this does not seem to be the case.
You can get Python 2.7.3 package from here:

Or you can use the PlexConnect plugin by sacretagent which contains the same Python version:
Hi,
i try it like the first post, but it dosnt work and i have no Idea...
i do it point for point but on the last Point:
" nohup python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py &"
There is only a Message:
nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'
But there is all. the ATV nothing found...
i need Help :)
I am having the same problem. After typing the command I am getting the same error message. Where do I begin to troubleshoot this?

I suggest that you first try running the PlexConnect in the foreground so that you see it's output. You do this simply by leaving out the nohup from the beginning and the & from the end. So the command should be:
python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py
You can then quit the process with ctrl-c.
Then you can try the background running by adding the nohup and & and the command line should be (notice that there are no quotation marks).
nohup python /mnt/cache/apps/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py &
Also note that at least for me Python 2.6.6 did not work (see this message), instead I had to use 2.7.3 with the latest PlexConnect. And I assume that you have followed the updated https-based installation with certificate creation and profile importing (also linked in the referenced message)?
Is this still the way to go on unraid or do you recommend another way.
