Server running or not ? For apple tv to function normal.

Yester day i installed Plexconnect as described in the wiki and it works like a charm! Just one little problem for me. After installing plexconnect, if i turn off my server my apple tv can not connect to internet… Is it sopose to work like that?

Yes, because you have to change your ATV DNS to the ip of your plexconnect machine, if that machine is off then you can’t access the internet on your ATV.


Unfortunately this is the way it work for ATV3 or non jailbroken ATV2’s, because it needs to intercept calls to the trailers(or others) address. if you have a jailbroken ATV2 then there is a thread about installing plexconnect on the actual ATV so you don’t have to use the DNS.

You can easily adjust the DNS settings on the ATV to switch back and forth.
