Walhelman likes it that way :lol:
It allows you to bring your unjailbroken atv2/3 anywhere 
Fire up plexconnect on your ios device and point your setting.cfg at your home pms.

Yep but baa's right. Airplay in 1 second is much easier then jailbroken device+terminal+DNS change and all of that ..

Yeah! I figured that...
I have had bad luck with airplay such as buffering and it seems slow compared to plexconnect, and I also like using a physical remote. Just my personal preference
I have my jailbroken iphone 4 running plexconnect!

To install follow the readme in /support/IOS_jailbreak:

hi,
i am trying to install plexconnect on a iPad mini.
in wich folder do i have to copy the phyton.deb?
if i ssh into my iPad in terminal (ssh root@ipdevice) i can't execute the command lines. i always get the message command not found.
what am i doing wrong?
thx
apt-get install ping then install python using the repo.
Here is PlexConnect running on iOS 7:
*Update I am having issues with plexconnect iOS7. Some work needs to be done for it to become stable.
Um it is more likely an issue with the jailbreak itself eg mobile substrate is not fully working.
Ya, they rushed this jailbreak way to fast. I seen a ipad 2 get stuck in a boot loop even if restored to a fresh ios 7.04.

Then he did something very wrong
Restore from DFU and that's it .. And don't install incomplitable stuff.
If you did-ShutDown the device with 10 secs on power+home buttons and then power button+volume up button will make the device boot on safe mode so you'll be able to uninstall the bad apps.
Its a known bug, the evasion jb has some issues still with some devices. Even upon a fresh dfu restore it has the same issues. This is a non rev a ipad 2. The issue is on multiple sites here are some examples:

There might be a fix for the iphone 4 so far on iOS 7.x-7.04:

As @f00b4r stated mobilesubstrate is still not working fully yet on the evasi0n iOS7 jb, it was rushed and not a complete jb.
* The iphone 4 bootloop fix might be for the redsnow untethered jb ios 6.1.3 & 6.15. There is a lot going on right now in the jb scene. It might be best to see what ends up being the correct way to fix the boot loop for iOS 7.x-7.04 and (iOS 6.13 & 6.15 3GS/A4) by not rusing into things. Looks like A5 iOS 6.13+ jb might be here christmas day
:)
Solved on ios 5-6 and im assuming ios 7 as well when evasi0n's mobilesubstrate is fixed up :)
I also created a cydia repo. If someone could make a plexconnect.deb I could host it here to make the installation a lot easier iOS device wide :) (python is now live on this repo)

Installing cydelete from cydia allows the default PlexConnect.bash to run as it should. Something cydelete installed allowed it to run, im guessing apt but im not sure.

can't access the Applications folder in Terminal. Permission denied, password?
do you have an idea what i could be?
Thx in advance
SSH-ing onto your iOS device automatically drops you into the /var/mobile/ directory. To access the Applications directory you need to back out of those two directories. Type in “cd …” to back out into the /var directory, and then “cd …” again to back out into your real root directory. Then try the command again, Applications should be available now. 
It took me a bit to figure out what was going on here myself, and I think this might be your issue too?
Edit: Now I’m not sure, permissions being denied makes it seem like you did it right to begin with. Did you type in the “chmod +x /Applications/PlexConnect/support/IOS_jailbreak/install.bash” command to change permissions first?

Thank you for your answer,
ssh-ing onto iOS device with Terminal on device or with the Mac?
by typing in cd.. in Terminal on device, i get the message -sh: cd..: command not found
on Mac i get this message_
ives-macmini:~ iveflammang$ ssh root@192.168.178.68
root@192.168.178.68's password:
Ives-iPadMini:~ root# cd
Ives-iPadMini:~ root# cd..
-sh: cd..: command not found
Ives-iPadMini:~ root# chmod +x /Applications/PlexConnect/support/IOS_jailbreak>
chmod: cannot access `/Applications/PlexConnect/support/IOS_jailbreak/install.bash': No such file or directory
Ives-iPadMini:~ root#
cd /
cd /Applications
You need to copy the PlexConnect foler over manually at this time using filezilla or cyberduck on a mac to your ios device.
cd /
cd /Applications
Nice :)
Merry Christmas :)

The "cd .." (or the "cd /" command wahlman gave) should both work on either Terminal on your Mac or on your iOS device. (If you go the "cd .." route though, make sure that you include a space in-between the "cd" and the ".."! That appears to be why you got your errors last time :) )
If you guys get this running please post ios version and device & revision e.g. Ipad 2 rev a ios 6.1.3 with a screen shot if you find the time
