Unauthorized on local network

In my quest to speed up loading times in PlexConnect I've noticed that my PlexConnect client on my ATV needs an active internet connection to connect to my PMS. Whenever I'm logged in to my MyPlex account everything works fine, but when I don't have an internet connection (or not logged in to MyPlex) it just displays "No Plex Library Sections Available".

 

Is it not possible to connect directly over my local network with GDM?  GDM seems to discover my PMS server, but my logfile reveals an "Unauthorized" message. Is there any way to fix this?

 

 

These are my current settings:

  • ATV model + firmware version : ATV2 v5.3

  • The DNS server set on the ATV: 10.0.1.1

  • The local IP address of the device that PlexConnect is installed on: 10.0.1.22

  • The device and operating system that PlexConnect is installed on: ATV2 v5.3

  • The device and operating system that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: Mac Mini (Late 2012) / OSX 10.10.3

  • The Plex media server (PMS) version number you are running: 0.9.12.2

  • The local IP address of the device that the Plex media server (PMS) is installed on: 10.0.1.10

  • The PlexConnect version number: 2015-06-02 20:55:01 CEST

  • Settings.cfg:

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 10.0.1.10
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = False
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 10.0.0.1
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
hosttointercept = localhost
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = False
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
allow_gzip_atv = False
allow_gzip_pmslocal = False
allow_gzip_pmsremote = True
loglevel = Normal

in PMS...

- switch off "Plex Home" feature

- disable "require auth in local network"

Also sign out of Myplex in PMS, If the above doesn't work. I had to when I lost internet temporarily to watch my local content.

Thank you, but there has to be a better way without disabling features etc.?

Also I can't find the "require auth in local network" settings, but I have been trying a few things in the "List of networks that are allowed without auth" field. Didn't work though.

I couldn't get it to work personally without signing out of myplex on PMS, tried for about a hour till I found it was the culprit. There may (should) be a better way but I surely couldn't find it.

i don;t know anything about PlexConnect but why does the config show different subnet from 10.0.1.x for DNS

ip_dnsmaster = 10.0.0.1

Edit: Ignore this . Presumably it is disabled so it does not matter. sorry to butt in

I guess it was a typo, didn't do anything though.

Tried it, but it didn't work...
