PlexConnect.py quickly closes upon running

ATV 2 FIRMWARE

 

DNS and IP of PlexConnect device match - ###.###.20.99

Media Server (same as PlexConnect/PMS device) is a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1. Should be noted that the server itself is working fine - friends who I've shared with have access, as do I when I run PlexConnect from my Mac (something I'm wanting to get away from by using this PC as a dedicated Plex machine).

PMS 0.9.1101

PlexConnect Version - downloaded 30 mins ago

I don't have a settings.cfg file as I haven't been able to run the program let alone do a clean shutdown.

 

ISSUE: When I double-click PlexConnect.py, it quickly opens and immediately closes.

I also don't have a file name PlexConnet.log in the folder. I again assume it's because I haven't been able to do a clean shutdown. For the split second Python is open, I can see that it looks very similar to the feedback I'd receive when I use my Mac, but Python only remains open for half a second at most. I should also note that I have deleted everything and restarted the process only to get the same results. 

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Sorry I don’t have advice but I’m interested to see the outcome of this as I had the same problem as this trying to install plexconnect on my brother inlaw’s windows 7 pc a while ago, we gave up in the end and used the plex iOS app with AirPlay, it’s a shame there’s nothing simple like openplex for windows !

try running plexconnect.py from a command window then you will see the actual error. 

ALso is a plexconnect.log file created you can post?

Please do not hijack a thread as similar generic symptoms do not mean it is the same issue at all.

Read the sticky or the link in my signature which contains info on how to report a problem, if you can provide us the information in a new thread we will get you up and running with the minimal amount of frustration possible. :)

No log file to post. Here is what I get when I run the program via CMD.

No need for anymore help - I figured out my issue - permissions weren't properly set. Thanks for trying to help.
