Bear with me on this, please…
I recently updated my internal IP addresses to 192.168.73.* as I would randomly find myself connected to my neighbour’s network.
Since I did this I have been unable to get PlexConnect to work (and it was working properly before. My setup is a little complicated…
I use a Tomato USB router to DNSMASQ trailers.apple.com to 192.168.73.4:
address=/trailers.apple.com/192.168.73.4
address=/atv.plexconnect/192.168.73.4
I then host PlexConenct on a QNAP NAS.
Here is my config:
[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False
ip_pms = 192.168.73.4
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = False
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 192.168.73.1
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False
ip_plexconnect = 192.168.73.4
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
allow_gzip_atv = False
allow_gzip_pmslocal = False
allow_gzip_pmsremote = True
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .
Whenever I now try to run PlexConnect I get an error about the webserver:
00:18:18 PlexConnect: ***

netstat shows the following for port 80:
netstat -ln | grep “:80”
netstat: no support for `AF INET6 (tcp)’ on this system.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
This was all working properly before I switched my internal IP address structure, and now I am unsure why it can no longer connect over port 80. Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated.
I have done the certificates install (thought no profile show up in the Apple TV). I’m thinking I should try the iphone configuration utility later to see if that fixes it. Could that be the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
