Hello everyone,

Ive set this up, disabled firewalls on all devices and routers and am having two issues;

1-no WAN connection from my apple TV at all

2-plexconnect does not see the server running local to it at all

 

The only bit of code ive changed in settings is the DNS IP to that of my mac mini (192.168.0.18) which i have also updated in the Apple TV.

Heres what i see in terminal. 

MMS:~ MMMC$ sudo /Users/MMMC/Documents/PlexConnect-new-movie-sections/PlexConnect.py

heres how my settings look now (i updated local IP to see if that changed anything), it didnt.

  #!/usr/bin/python

 
"""
Global Settings...
"""
 
#
# Plex Media Server
def getPlexGDM():
    return True  # True: use PlexGDM (GoodDayMate) to auto discover PMS
 
def getIP_PMS():  # default IP, if GDM fails... todo: do we need this fall back?
    return '192.168.0.18'
def getPort_PMS():
    return 32400
 
#
# DNS/WebServer
def getIP_DNSmaster():  # Router, ISP's DNS, ...
    return '192.168.0.18'  # google public DNS
 
def getHostToIntercept():
    return 'trailers.apple.com'

 

can anyone suggest what i need to change?

as always all help is appreciated, thanks guys!

Looks like you set the DNSserver to the same ip as as PMS. Leave it at 8.8.8.8 unless you are using a a DNS service of some kind.

Excellent!

thanks for the reply, resetting DNS to 8.8.8.8 and restarting my mac mini did the trick!
