Plexconnect running on any jailbroken iOS device

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cghw1w6khwqq8rg/8ejDwZ7Rpe


This would be best suited if you are traveling with a AppleTV on iOS 6.x+.


You need to install git prior to installing plexconnect. Open mobileterminal or ssh into you IOS device (openssh required for ssh from cydia) then type these commands:


login

root <------your username

alpine <-------if you didn’t change it from default

apt-get install git


Here is a demo video of installing plexconnect on a iphone4s jailbroken on iOS 7.0.6 using only Dropbox and ifile. I updated plexconnect using mobileterminal:

Updated instructions for iOS devices (tested on iPhone 4S iOS 8.3) on OP.

what am i missing?

this is on an ipod 6th Gen ios8.3

Type this after you login as root:

restart.bash

If that doesn’t allow you to upload your cert then try this and let me know the output:

cd /Applications/iosjailbreak; git pull; cp stop.bash /usr/bin; cp start.bash /usr/bin; stop.bash; cd /Applications/PlexConnect; ./PlexConnect.py

I just tested this on my mini 2 running iOS 8.3 and its working fine, not sure what the issue may be outside of the device difference.

something is not right? no file or directory errors everywhere no pyth etc? what am i doing wrong?

Looks like you are having a error I was having awhile ago, in PlexConnect.py you need to remove the env part. Gimme a minute I will update the git and you can try something else. Be right back…

Ok no problem I’m here, Your awesome mate thank you!

try this:

cd /Applications/iosjailbreak; git pull; cp fix.bash /usr/bin; fix.bash; restart.bash

Im not sure why some iOS devices have this issue, I did prior but then it started to work for me using the default PlexConnect.py. Good luck :wink:

Pillow (Fanart) doesn’t work, I tried to get it to work using this link with no luck. But if it works for you you can at least use your iOS devices and aTV3 as a portable device.

Weird. what happens when you type this:

python didn’t install it looks like. Use this to install it:

wget --no-check-certificate https://yangapp.googlecode.com/files/python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb; dpkg -i python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb; rm -R python_2.7.3-3_iphoneos-arm.deb

Once you are done rerun this to install:

apt-get -y update; apt-get -y upgrade; apt-get -y install git; rm -R /Applications/iosjailbreak; cd /Applications; git clone git://github.com/wahlmanj/iosjailbreak.git; cd /Applications/iosjailbreak; ./installios.bash

I wonder if you have broken packages preventing your install. Post the whole install log when its done.
