Trailers unavailable in AppleTV/7.0.1 iOS/8.1 + Yosemite on Mac Mini

I have PlexConnect working nicely even after upgrading my Mac mini to Yosemite. Suddenly I did git pull and suddenly trailers are not longer available. 

 

I've done since re-creating twice the certificates, re-re-configuring my DNS service, re-re-doing the trailers.apple.com website, dropping the entired PlexConnect folder and git pull fresh. No matter what I do I get the same log

Port webserver 9999 rev proxy? Try 80 instead if not.

Are you running your own DNS server?

Yes, I'm running my own DNS server. Here is some more info.

Thanks guys!!!

How old was your previous install and what happens if you go back to that commit (after replacing the settings.cfg and certs)?

I think it would be helpful to see if the issue is with your setup or the actual code changes.

6

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that because my setup stop working right after a 'pull' I did about two weeks ago. I saw a couple of comments pertaining to changes that seem to affect aTv. I'm going to do that and post my findings.

Thanks.

Tried with no luck.

PlexConnect-9ad4b14abbbcbd326abc0208174cb43b71fe46e3 - Oct 20

PlexConnect-665f1f6d75978814f6780c13ca60d76ed36d30a7 - Nov 1

I've chosen the two dates because I upgraded my server on Oct 30 and finished all my configuration in the weekend of Nov1-Nov2. It was working that weekend even with the latest aTV upgrade and latest Plexconnect code. Then few days after aTv asked for a new upgrade (dunno why) but I applied it and did a 'git pull'. After all of these the trailers channels stop working.

8

Certs? Did you re-generate certs?

9

Baa did we get rid of the need for the following in the reverse proxy setup?:

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

10

Yes, I did re-generate the certs thank you all the attention. I finally found the issue. I noticed that each request coming from aTv was resolved as a 404. I recalled that in my desperate attempt to improve wifi connection after upgrading to yosemite I disabled my eth0. And it was the IP assigned to my eth0 the one listed in my /etc/hosts file. So I remapped my IP and double checked the DNS configuration just in case. Trailers is back!!!

Thanks a lot again!

11

No worries, glad it is working again.

Was that needed because of the /PMS(https://...) thing? That indeed was changed some time ago - URL replaced by PMS_IP only.

Yeah that's the one, glad my mind isn't playing tricks on me :)
