Heya all,
I tried to add trailers.apple.com in my routers local dns dbase (Cisco RV320) and it pings now on our LAN to the plexconnect server but that isnt enough to make plexconnect work, or is it?
Is there anything else that you should/can do to make it work like that?
----------
Update:
As discussed, when you have your own router at home or at work, just simply add these 2 forwarders in the DNS:
trailers.apple.com ipofyourplexconnect
atv.plexconnect ipofyourplexconnect
Did you follow the standard setup? This does not call for you to setup a DNS forward. All you do is update the DNS setting on your ATV to your plexconnect machine, plex connect then does the forwarding and interception where needed.
I get that but i wanted to not have to change the DNS to manual on the ATV but instead set trailers.apple.com to our plexconnect server in our DNS on the router ;)
In that case did you follow the advanced settings on the wiki?
https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Settings-for-advanced-use-and-troubleshooting
Yep :)
Hmmm, then I would expect it to be working.
trailers.apple.com points to plex connect
Plex connect settings.cfg enable_dnsserver = False
And I take it plexconnect is running in the command window without errors?
As far as my tech skills go: Plex connect settings.cfg enable_dnsserver = False <<<< that shouldnt matter what its set to, even if you want to use the built in dns aswell just for backup that could best be set to True.
and yes PlexConnect is running fine. Ill try again when i get home.
Also might be time to follow the standard reporting issues process https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/How-to-report-an-issue and include Logs, hardware details etc.
It actually seems to work now on the AppleTV3 downstairs :)
Might have been a DNS caching issue.
Good that it's working...
Just be aware of the change introduced just today:
https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/commit/6d76aaf85fad66a1bf763e45a94130fba791f793
You guys with your own DNS need to add another route to PlexConnect: 'atv.plexconnect'
And probably want to add the loopbacks to prevent the aTV update? 'mesu.apple.com', 'appldnld.apple.com', 'appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net'
Why would we want to block the ATV updates?? No reason to do that on ATV3?
I also forwarded atv.plexconnect now :) thx!
Because... http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/77137-beta-4-problems/?hl=beta
Still beta/developer preview. But you never know what Apple is up to...
Yeah we actually had the latest built also on ATV3 now (beta) and i keep getting Trailers app not available even with the default DNS stuff :(
So back to 5.3 :)
Hi there,
Can any one please post with steps for newbie :)
Thanks
