Plexconnect Will Not Detect PMS

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

I am not really sure what is going on. I built a new computer recently and tried to set up plexconnect again, but I am running into some issues.

 

As far as I can tell, plexconnect won't recognize my plex media server -- they are installed on the same computer. I also recently switched to an Airport Express, which coincided with the new computer, so there could be an issue on either end. I have tried forwarded port 80 and 443 to no avail. Hopefully you all can help me. Below is a copy of the log

and my settings

 

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False
ip_pms = 10.0.1.10
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
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .

 

I have tried setting the plexgdm to both true and false in the settings file and in PMS itself.

Just let me know if there is more info I can post to help. I am pretty confused!

PlexConnect will look for the PMS once it's triggered by the aTV... previously it did that during startup, but with the implementation of multiple PMSs, myPlex, and so on, that was changed.

... they are installed on the same computer. ...

13:44:10 WebServer: WebServer: Serving HTTPS on 10.0.1.6 port 443.
13:44:10 WebServer: ***
 

and my settings

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False
ip_pms = 10.0.1.10
port_pms = 32400
 

Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question here or making a silly assumption but, if PMS and PlexConnect are on the same machine, surely they should have the same IP? Your settings show it's looking for PMS on 10.0.1.10 while your WebServer is running on 10.0.1.6. That might account for why it's not working with GDM set to false, unless you have multiple addresses assigned to your PC? Also, another silly question, did you restart PMS and PlexConnect after changing those settings each time?

After playing with it for a bit I managed to get everything to work. I did change the ip_pms to the ip of the machine running pms. I also did not have my profile created, oops! I ran into a few issues with my appletv not accepting the "http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.cer" profile, so I changed to the dns ip: http://10.0.1.6/trailers.cer and that let me add the profile. So all Is working now.

Thanks!
