**Plex Connect (or "Plex @ aTV - think different…")** We all want the pleasure of Plex on the big screen - in this case driven by an AppleTV, unfortunately: - There is no App Store for the AppleTV. - It is not currently possible to jailbreak the AppleTV3 - Only certain firmwares on the AppleTV2 have an untethered jailbreak (the current firmware does not) - It is not possible to move between AppleTV2 firmwares unless the user has previously used a tool to specifically save unique signatures for their device for each firmware **How does it work?** The basic idea is to: - re-use a native AppleTV app (by default the 'Trailers' application) - re-route the Trailers app requests to your Plex Media Server - re-work the reply to fit into AppleTV's XML communication scheme - let iOS do the rest - enjoy Plex on your unmodified AppleTV   **PlexConnect Wiki (includes up to date install guides,FAQ and troubleshooting pages): **[click here](https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki)   **PlexConnect Github page (the ONLY official and trusted download site):** [click here](https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/releases)   **How to report an issue (do not private message asking for support or features!):** [click here](https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/How-to-report-an-issue)   **A video of PlexConnect in action by one of our users:** [here](http://vimeo.com/81227335) ---

27. Aug: The main door to trailers.apple.com got a new supervisor. Or: The big switch from http to https. This modification stopped the existing PlexConnect from working... a work around was found rather quickly. But up until today this change (and the results thereof) seems to still be a major cause for trouble. So, if you experience aTV connectivity issues like "Trailers not accessible" and such, make sure you know the WIKI / Installation guide ([https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-guides](https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-guides) - look for "Attention") and followed the given hints. Overview: - you need a recent PlexConnect version - stamped later than 27.Aug - you need to generate a certificate for PlexConnect and aTV - you need to install the certificate on your aTV to make it trust your PlexConnect server Check the forum for similar issues. I guess by now, we have seen most of it - and also answered numerous times. If nothing helps, feel free to check back in the forums - as outlined in WIKI / How to report an issue ([https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/How-to-report-an-issue](https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/How-to-report-an-issue)). General rules... - the more information the better - but: no logfiles copy-pasting (attach it or show a pastebin link) with loglevel=High and limiting to the issue, please. Edit: Ah... I forgot: Do not post your certificate. It contains your private key. Private for a reason. Keep it secret, don't share it. Never. Ever. ---

One more thing... Please refrain from hijacking threads with different issues. Thinking about rephrasing "_I have the exact same problem, just different..._" seems to be a good indication for ongoing hijacking. :-D ---
