I got the functionality back, but what about the icon?
My PlexConnect install broke after this WSJ change.
I've updated the settings, to reflect the new hosttointercept value, as well as patched the DNS to allow dashes. I also created a new certificate and reinstalled.
However, as soon as I access it from my ATV, I get the message that "WSJ is Unavailable".
Here's my config:
[PlexConnect] enable_plexgdm = True ip_pms = 0.0.0.0 port_pms = 32400 enable_dnsserver = False port_dnsserver = 53 ip_dnsmaster = 192.168.1.1 prevent_atv_update = True enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0 hosttointercept = video-api-secure.wsj.com port_webserver = 81 enable_webserver_ssl = True port_ssl = 443 certfile = /usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates/wsj.pem allow_gzip_atv = False allow_gzip_pmslocal = False allow_gzip_pmsremote = True loglevel = High logpath = /usr/local/plexconnect/var
and here's the log after it fails:
18:56:37 WebServer: pms address:18:56:37 WebServer: cleaned path:
/api-video/appletv/wsjvideo/javascripts/application.js
18:56:37 WebServer: PlexConnect options:
{‘aTVScreenResolution’: ‘720’, ‘aTVFirmwareVersion’: ‘7.2’, ‘aTVLanguage’: ‘en’, ‘aTVAddress’: ‘192.168.1.21’}
18:56:37 WebServer: additional arguments:18:56:37 WebServer: serving /js/application.js
18:56:37 Settings: getsetting allow_gzip_atv=True
As you can see, I'm hitting PlexConnect properly, and it's logging that it is serving application.js. However, it doesn't appear to load on the ATV.
Any hint? Troubleshoot tip?
created/installed fresh certs (for new host address)?
created/installed fresh certs (for new host address)?
Yep. Created with these two commands:
openssl req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -out ~/Desktop/wsj.pem -keyout ~/Desktop/wsj.key -x509 -days 7300 -subj "/C=US/CN=video-api-secure.wsj.com"openssl x509 -in ~/Desktop/wsj.pem -outform der -out ~/Desktop/wsj.cer && cat ~/Desktop/wsj.key >> ~/Desktop/wsj.pem
Copied the three files to the proper location and added the profile in the AppleTV. Just tried a wget to the certificate, and I get the proper file, so it's serving it fine.
So far no luck.
What did I do?
1 - updated Settings.cfg and it is like that
[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 0.0.0.0
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = True
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
hosttointercept = video-api-secure.wsj.com
port_webserver = 81
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 444
certfile = /usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates/trailers.pem
allow_gzip_atv = False
allow_gzip_pmslocal = False
allow_gzip_pmsremote = True
loglevel = High
logpath = /usr/local/plexconnect/var
2 - Updated Settings.py line 35 and it is now
('hosttointercept' , ('trailers.apple.com', '[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+')),
3 - Downloaded the 3 files from post of wahlman.j and put it on /usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 3 20:19 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 15 18:54 …
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep 3 20:19 @eaDir
-rwx------ 1 root root 890 Sep 3 20:18 trailers.cer
-rwx------ 1 root root 1679 Sep 3 20:18 trailers.key
-rwx------ 1 root root 2940 Sep 3 20:18 trailers.pem
4 - Restarted PlexConnect
5 - Deleted profiles from ATV3
6 - Retrieved the new certificates inside ATV and created a profile that automatically recieved the name video-api-secure.wsj.com
But it does not work
What am I missing?
Does not work for me too.
How should I create cert files it plexconnect running on Cent OS?
Should I create it on Mac or Cent OS?
You can use the mac guide to get certs on linux:
Otherwise I have test certs here also:
Yes I tried that certs from github.
Also I tried to change /etc/httpd/conf.d/plexconnect.conf
and set ServerAlias video-api-secure.wsj.com
But still having “WSJ Video is unavailable. Try again later”
And nothing print to PlexConnect.log
I think that certs from GitHub and generate cert commands for Mac are not applicable for Linux.
Because when I put trailers.cer trailers.key trailers.pem from package (cp /etc/pki/plexconnect/trailers.* .)
Everything work well for trailers.
(Trailers/trailers.* from GitHub does not)
My problem has resolved at Nov 7. I’ve forgot to add paths to cer & key inside Apache configuration file
