PlexConnect won't sign in

Dev Community Apps & Creations

Hi,

PlexConnect stopped working for me 4 days ago. So I did a bunch of stuff: rolled PMS back to previous version, updated PlexConnect, hard coded the PMS IP in the config file, deleted and reinstalled the cert but no go - just won’t find any servers. Upon looking at the Python command window, it looks like every time I was trying to sign in that’s where the problem lies. It can’t find a file… Any help would be great. Thank you. I apologize ahead of time if I missed something really obvious.

Please try the following:

  1. Start PlexConnect
  2. Logoff plex.tv (in PlexConnect settings)
  3. Login plex.tv again

If this does not work I need the full PlexConnect.log file

Thanks for getting back so quickly moody. I’m already logged out of PlexConnect, but can’t sign back in. Just spins and spin. Attached is the log file. I’ve also attached the ATVSettings just in case (renamed to .txt so I could upload).

ATVSettings.txt (1.7 KB)
PlexConnect.log (2.2 KB)

4

Delete ATVSettings.cfg and try again. Also see Q15 in FAQ.

Deleted, same thing. PlexConnect launches but I can’t sign in, just spins. I looked at Q15 in the FAQ before opening this thread. :slight_smile: I’ll attach the log file again just in case. Sorry and thank you for your help.
PlexConnect.log (3.5 KB)

This is probably because of this Plex announcement, but I will check.

This problem also appeared.
And the Server was not visible in Plexconnect.
I was helped by updating Python to the latest (2.7.18) version

I updated Python and this worked! Thank you moody and fangornm! I totally appreciate your help with this.

Documentation updated. Some platforms where PlexConnect can be installed, such as jb’d ATV2 and ATV3, support old python versions only. plex.tv login now requires python 2.7.9+ for TLS 1.1 support. Those platforms will be limited to local/GDM support from now on.

awesome! thank-you so much! So simple in the end!

You have saved my sanity. Thank you so much!

Is there some way to use Plex an ATV 3rd gen now?
It doesn’t see my local plex server :frowning:

@timur_senchenkov This announcement has two consequences:

  1. If you have PlexConnect installed in the ATV3 you can’t login it to plex.tv, therefore you can’t access remote PMS, or use plex pass. But you can use your local PMS (see below)
  2. If you have PlexConnect installed in other platform, you need to install python 2.7.9 or higher (2.7.18 is recommended)

If you opt for option 1. above these are the steps to access a local PMS:

  1. Identify the IP assigned to the ATV3 and parametrize PMS according to Q7 in FAQ’s
  2. SSH to the ATV3 and stop PlexConnect (see Wiki)
  3. Edit Settings.cfg so that enable_plexgdm = False and ip_pms = x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the ip address of the ATV3)
  4. Start PlexConnect
