PlexConnect.py not showing any log messages related to PlexGDM

Hi All,

 

I've been struggling to get this setup for a few weeks now (on and off with the holidays too).  I've searched google and read a bunch of threads and no one seems to have this issue.  I've tried it on two platforms (linux and Windows), setting up Python 2.7 and following the install guides many times.

 

In a nut shell here is the problem, here is all the output I get on either systems:

 

# ./PlexConnect.py
09:03:09 PILBackgrounds: No PIL/Pillow installation found.
09:03:09 PlexConnect: ***

Here are my settings:
 
# cat Settings.cfg
[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 0.0.0.0
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = False
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
loglevel = High
logpath = .

 

 

My understanding from other posts is I should be seeing some PlexGDM messages...  not sure why I've never seen them on either system.

 

I know the ports are free when PlexConnect starts, I've disabled the firewalls and the PlexMediaServer is working fine.  I've turned off user auth too.

 

Any suggestions on this?  

 

Thanks,

tekmage

PlexGDM is done when you enter trailers on aTV, not before. So... things must be rolling right, or you won't see any related logs.

Why is that? Running an own DNS?

>>enable_dnsserver = False

Interesting and thanks for the quick response.  Some of the threads I've seen with logs show the PlexGDM request coming in 1 second after the webserver starts so I figured it was an auto login. 

The DNS is being handled by DNSMasq and when I ping trailers.apple.com I get the PlexConnect system.

I was able to deploy the cer: 

18:51:52 WebServer: WebServer: Serving HTTPS on 172.16.0.21 port 443.
18:51:52 WebServer: ***
18:55:40 WebServer: serving *.cer: /trailers.cer
 
The ATV is showing "Trailers is unavailable. Try again Later" and I don't see any access on the console despite the log level as high.
 
The ATV is running 6.2.1, appears to be supported.
 
iptables is stopped.
 
Still at a loss.
 
Cheers,
Bill

Old ones... really old ones. It was such - in ancient hsitory - when MyPlex was not yet supported.

Also on SSL? Browsing 172.16.0.21:443 from another system?
