Hope someone can help.&nbsp; Installed the certificates as described on github, installed plex connect and python 2.7.6.&nbsp; I am running PMS 0.9.9.7.429 and everything streams fine through my roku 3 (I know that it doesnt use plexconnect).&nbsp; I have changed the DNS on the ATV3 (running 6.1) and everything is setup as described on github but when I try to access trailers on the atv I get the"Trailers is unavailabe. Try again later." error.&nbsp; I have included a copy of the log from the session (it looks as though the webserver never serves the application) and I have included a copy of the settings cfg.&nbsp; I am running windows 7 pro 64-bit.&nbsp; Thank you to anyone who can help

&nbsp;

Have you set an OUTBOUND rule in your firewall for python.exe (turning it off doesn't always work)?

It is most likely a cert issue then, I can ping you a fresh set to test with when back at my desktop.

I was able to resolve the issue.&nbsp; Apparently Symantec Endpoint Protection was causing the issue. Added an exception and everything works.&nbsp; Thanks for the help

I think it's firewall, Symantec Endpoint Protection contains a firewall.
