enable_plexgdm = True

port_pms = 32400

Every time i restart my mac i have to open terminal and run cd + media server folder and after that run the cmd sudo ./PlexConnect.py 

Also if i restart the ATV i need to reset the DNS to automatic to be able to see the other apps installed on it. After that i reset DNS manually to local computer address to can connect Plex. Once i do all that everything works fine, until the next restart. Also when i open the PMS on mac a blanck page is opened too and I'm not sure this will supposed to be.

Down is the Plex log

Well you can install plexconnect via launchctl using the official method or using my app in my signature to have plexconnect load at boot. Im not sure why pms would be crashing or not starting at boot unless you not have it set to open at login via the task bar pms icon. I did create a plist to keep pms alive in my signature but that is strange if its not staying alive on its own by just choosing to Open at login.

1) Having to re-run PlexConnect after restarting your Mac is normal. If you want to set it up to auto-run, that's a separate set of things to take care of (see wahlman's info). To save time when doing it manually, just hit the Up arrow on your keyboard after launching Terminal, and it'll auto-type the last thing you ran, which will probably be PlexConnect.

2) Change the "8.8.8.8" address in your settings to your ISP's actual DNS server.

3) Why are you restarting your AppleTV? It should be saving your settings even through a restart, but if that's not working for you... maybe stop rebooting it?

The wiki has details of how to set PlexConnect to auto start in the install guide.
