@Ivyjones you can edit the settings.cfg from ifile easily or just use sftp after you edited it using filezilla or cyberduck.
Done :) works perfectly ;) thx

Guide has been simplified & updated for iOS 5-7 cross compatibility and created new pull request for the new plex.tv to support myplex on post #1.
Changes to plexconnect repo:
- cydelete caused issues on iOS 7 and was removed completely from repo
- wget was added to repo
- apt 0.7 strict was added to repo
Issues that still remain:
- iOS7 typically has issues loading PlexConnect at this time via launchctl due to mobile substrate
- PlexConnect.deb creation
Workaround:
- Mobile substrate updates will more then likely fix these issues in the future.
- if using iOS 7 you can easily launch ./PlexConnect.bash or ./restart.bash via mobile terminal for the time being directly on your IOS device if it doesn’t load during boot.
Just tested a Ipad 3 on 6.1.3 iOS that was released today, runs plexconnect perfectly as well 
Im glad I waited and didn’t update to iOS 7, 6.1.3-6.1.5 runs plexconnect a lot better then on iOS 7 at the current time. One thing I noticed with 6.1.3 compared to ios 5 is when you run airplane mode it connects you up to wifi automatically without unlocking the screen unlike iOS 5, kind of a nice feature they added which keeps plexconnect running during boot for a easier implementation when using a atv remotely.
Mobile substrate is now called Cydia substrate which is version 0.95000 and it fixed the iOS 7 issue and PlexConnect now completely works via launchctl. I still can’t use the standard PlexConnect.bash for some reason but my modified version works for iOS. Just upgrade cydia substrate using cydia to get the new fix.
When i try to install APT 0.7 through Cydia i get Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
no package named com.myrepospace.plexconnect.apt7 is installed, cannot configure
When i try to install python i also got the same errors
The plexconnect cydia repo now has a plexconnect.deb to install plexconnect. It still requires python, wget, and apt 0.7 strict to be installed prior and they are all in the plexconnect repo. DO NOT INSTALL plexconnect.deb until they are installed. If for any reason (python, wget, and apt 0.7 strict) fail it is ok, the programs are still installed even if it says installation failed.
Note. You may need to change your trailers.pem and edit your settings.cfg using iFile to match your configuration if needed. Installing plexconnect will generate certificates so you need to delete those if you are going to use your own.

I see plexconnect in the /var/stash/apolications.guci7t dir , how do you get it to run?
After you install the packages wget, python, and apt 0.7 strict, you then install the plexconnect package after those packages from the same repo. It sets up plexconnect for you, creates certs and reboots your ios device. If you type in your ios device local IP address after your ios device boots up it will look like this, If it does you know plexconnect is up and running on your ios device. Only thing you would need to do is modify your settings.cfg or change your trailers.pem if needed. Did you not read the readme located here? It explains how to install and configure and load plexconnect at boot in complete detail.

Plexconnect.deb updated to the latest commit on the plexconnect cydia repo. Looks like they have merged mine & @jdillingers suggestion into plexconnect to auto populate the library & channel tabs while on the go! This means no more need for the dyndns workaround anymore. This is what I call plexconnect on the go remotely via myplex. Also I fixed the deb so there is no need to reboot the ios device to start plexconnect anymore. Just edit your settings.cfg and copy your old trailers.pem if needed. Good work guys, glad to see this remote solution implemented now
Um no, channels were added and the UI changed to reflect other clients and I believe is actually different to what you suggested (you might not see the differences depending on the setup).

I think what he's saying is that it was exactly what we were trying to do.
The words should be chosen more carefully then and as I stated it has been implemented differently; it may appear to be different but that may just be due to your particular setup.
PlexConnect does seem to run since i downloaded the lastest one from your cydia repo.. i cant see a settings .CFG file or any of the other ones that appear after it runs
Open Ifile or sftp in and delete the entire /Applications/PlexConnect folder then reinstall the new plexconnect.deb update form the cydia repo.
is it possible to AirPlay the stream to Apple TV without mirroring the whole iOS screen? like XBMC iOS app to Apple TV Display Out to Mirror #2 work around
thanks
You misunderstand what this does.
If you merely want to airplay you can do using the Plex iOS app or web based app.

thanks for the highlight...i have successfully set up plexconnect to my AppleTV
After noticing how much mycydiarepospace.com was a bad idea to host files as a repo for cydia and figuring out how to update the main code on jailbroken iOS devices by using git pull I have created a new .deb specifically for non atv jailbroken iOS_devices. Link and instructions on OP (first post).
Just updated the plexconnect.deb in my dropbox to fix this on iOS 7.x since apple decided to break python by removing /usr/bin/env. That wasn’t very nice to break python apple.
Updated instructions on the OP github readme.
Added autoupdate.deb to my dropbox for easy updates.

It will either auto update PlexConnect on its own or you can manually update after using ssh to log in to your iOS device then simply typing this I use this on iOS devices https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/server-auditor/id549039908 once its free (openssh is still required from cydia big boss repo first):
login
root <----your user name
alpine <----this is your password if it has not been changed
update.bash
or if you have mobile terminal and openssh from cydia’s big boss repo installed type these commands:
login
root <----your user name
alpine <----this is your password if it has not been changed
update.bash
I haven’t had enough time to test if the update plist work yet but the manual method does work.
