Hi team,
I was adding the certificate to a friend’s ATV2 yesterday and noticed that the instructions had been updated to use the domain name “trailers.apple.com” instead of the IP address of the PlexConnect server.
Fair enough I thought, we’re intercepting that domain name so why not make the instructions consistent for any user.
Then it got me thinking, could we make it even shorter?
What if we hijacked “a.tv” and used that instead? Several key strokes shorter and we could set it up to redirect regardless of what certificate model is chosen (trailers, imovie, wsg, etc)
I’ve checked http://a.tv and it’s a parked domain with a hunk of search engine referrals. I’m sure we could live without it

Dave

The shortest I was able to get it without changing baa’s code for the naming of the cert was using the plexconnect host ip without the http prefix like the example given:
192.168.1.101/trailers.cer
I found it pretty easy to use.
I found it pretty easy to use.
I agree, it is. However, as it is specific to your LAN environment, it may not work for others.
Thanks for the tip about dropping the http prefix.
My grail is still to reach "a.tv/trailers.cer" or even "a.tv/ssl.cer"
Regards,
Dave
