Hey there,

I looked through a few other posts of people with the same issue, but, nothing seemed to pertain to my situation, so I thought I'd throw this out there.&nbsp; I had been using a new MacBook Pro to run PlexConnect and Plex Media Server to enjoy the fruits of the Trailers App.&nbsp; My wife went and took off for a week and left me an older Macbook Pro, which I'm trying to run PlexConnect and Plex Media Server from.&nbsp; I downloaded the software, even copied over all my channels to the Library --\>&nbsp; Applications Support area (which was hard to find because the opton key didn't seem to work).&nbsp; The software seems to be running OK, I put the certs in the right place.&nbsp; Normal Apple TV connects to the internet.&nbsp; Here are the specifics:

&nbsp;

Using Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

Plex Media Server Version 0.9.9.5.411-da1d892

&nbsp;

When I check to see if it's the latest version of PMS, it says "Update Error!&nbsp; An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later."

&nbsp;

I'm wondering if I'm out of date or maybe the software is older?&nbsp; I dunno.&nbsp; I don't want to spend hours on this if something won't work.&nbsp; Thanks.

&nbsp;

Here's the log:

Thanks for the quick reply Plex Star!

I upgraded, as you suggested, but still no dice.

I installed it, restarted the computer, ran plex connect and realized python was still using 2.6.1 so I ran the "Update Shell Profile" which seems to have fixed that issue.&nbsp; So I opened a new shell, started plex connect, and it now says Python 2.7.6, as you can see below.&nbsp; Do I need to reboot again?&nbsp; I notice that the when I "Check for Updates" in the PMS window, it still gives me an error.&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp; Thanks again!

Are you using a modem rather than a router for the MacBook, I say this because you have 50.0.190.56 (a public IP) so appear to have some unusual network setup. What is the contents of your settings.cfg file and can your paint a picture of your setup (PlexConnect device, PMS device, wifi/wired/3G network / ATV IP).

Thanks f00b4r and institue11, I have a crazy setup where my DSL comes into one room only in the back of the house, then I'm using Powerline to route that to the front of the house to a very old UFO airport extreme as my router (the newer time capsule died so it's my backup), but, I don't see how that would be a difference considering the new MacBook Pro runs everything fine.&nbsp; My PlexConnect and Plex Media Server are on the same computer:

Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

The problem is that your PMS somehow has your public IP rather than a private one dished out by the router, if your ATV shares the same how is PlexConnect meant to differentiate between device so and know where to send data. I am not sure how this is happening, hence why I asked for the information above about your setup. What is the I ATV’s IP address?

Ah true but there is still something wierd going on if public IP addresses are involved.

It is possible that they have just a bad setup, and are using a public subnet internally (1 have seen people who don’t understand networking play with this type of thing before, because they like the number etc)  
  
  
Also it seems there are 2 subnets in play 50.0 and 50.1

Thanks all.&nbsp; I have NO IDEA about networking or subnet or any of that stuff.&nbsp; Maybe it's because I have a DSL box which brings in the signal, then it routes through the powerline (hence the name Powerline), then comes to the Airport, so, it's kinda 2 routers.&nbsp; I know that it worked fine on my wife's new computer, but it won't connect with this one.&nbsp; Not sure if I have something set somewhere that says to access her computer and not mine, because I set it up with hers, but I did change from her AppleID to mine, so, I figured it'd be like starting over brand new.&nbsp; I'm open to suggestions, so, thanks again.

...yeah. Right. Otherwise we wouldn't see those DNS requests in the logs. :-)

Guess it must be a cert thing? But we ruled that out before, didn't we?

From another machine, can you access your PlexConnect host via browser? What would it respond?
