Suddenly plexconnect stooped working

Souljacker · October 2, 2013, 6:51pm

Hi guys!

I'm new to this world of suffering and happiness provided by this amazing software. Yesterday it was all happy and fun! Today, suddenly, it has stopped working. Nothing has changed, but ATV simply can't connect to Plexconnect.

I've tried restarting everything (ATV, PServer and PLEXCONNECT) in multiple different orders with no success.

Here's what I'm running:

Plex Media Server 0.9.8.6

Plex/Web 1.2.12 (BTW, just came up to me: what's the difference between then? It's only one setup, but I get those two different versions at PMS config tab)

Plexconnect: Don't really know how to find out it's version. It was that PlexConnect-master, downloaded 2 days ago

Python: 2.7.5

Here's Plexconnect last log

15:38:54 PlexConnect: started: 15:38:54 15:38:54 PlexConnect: IP_self: 192.168.1.123 15:38:54 DNSServer: started: 15:38:54 15:38:54 DNSServer: Failed to create socket on UDP port 53: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 15:38:54 WebServer: started: 15:38:54 15:38:54 WebServer: *** 15:38:54 WebServer: WebServer: Serving HTTP on 192.168.1.123 port 80. 15:38:54 WebServer: *** 15:38:54 PlexGDM: *** 15:38:54 PlexGDM: looking up Plex Media Server 15:38:54 PlexGDM: *** 15:38:54 WebServer: started: 15:38:54 15:38:54 WebServer: *** 15:38:54 WebServer: WebServer: Serving HTTPS on 192.168.1.123 port 443. 15:38:54 WebServer: *** 15:38:55 PlexGDM: servers discovered: 1 15:38:55 XMLConverter: PlexGDM - PMS: 192.168.1.123:32400

BTW, my ATV's dns is set to 192.168.1.123

What Am I missing?

Thanks guys!

Your problem is this part right hear:-

DNSServer: Failed to create socket on UDP port 53: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

Your problem could be one of two things.

1. Some other program is running that uses port 53. Shut down that program and rerun plexconnect.

or

2. You didn’t state what OS you’re running PlexConnect on, but if it’s Linux or OSX then when you run PlexConnect you need the sudo command, like so:-

sudo python PlexConnect.py

Why didn't it shut down after this error?

Or don't we get the full log?

Guys, it seems the issue is comming from the PC. I'm running Win 7, btw.

I've restarted my PC and it all came back to normal

One question: if that happens again, how can I find out the reason? Is it possible to find out which softwares are using which ports?

Thanks guys, your help is better than most of the paid sofwates.

PS: How can I donate to Plexconnect?
