PlexConnect Trailers Unavailable when running from Macbook

Hi All,

 

I am having an issue when trying to run plex connect from my 2007 Macbook.  This machine is currently hosting my PMS also.  My Apple TV is running 5.02 firmware and has a profile configured with my SSL cert.  I have no problem cutting the certificate again and running plexconnect from my macbook air so I believe I am configuring everything and creating the certificates correctly.  When I try to run plex connect from my macbook (2007) and select trailers I see the application.js however trailers will spin for ~30 seconds then show trailers unavailable.  I originally thought this to be a permissions issue as I could not overwrite config files however I have since corrected this and given my account read/write access to all items within plexconnect-master.  The issue remains, any thoughts on what I can check?

 

Atv 2 (5.3)

Macbook (2007 model) 10.6.8

PMS 0.9.8.6.175

Plex Connect IP = 192.168.1.119  (PMS on same machine)

The newer SSL versions of Plexconnect need at least ATV firmware version 5.2 to work properly.

Institue11,

Thanks for the response, I am actually running firmware 5.3, not sure how I messed that up, but I have corrected the information now.


Did you install the required version of Python (10.6.x ships with a version that may cause you issues)?

f00b4r,


Thanks for the that, that was the problem. After I installed python 2.7 and rebooted the apple tv can connect to it.
