Hi,
I'm trying to set up my raspberry pi as Plex Server. At the current step I experience problems in getting my AppleTV3 to recognize my Plex Server via "Trailers". Probably due a collision of Nginx and PlexConnect as described by some of you above. Here are the symptoms:
- My Plex Server is running. I can access the web interface via my web browser.
- My ATV3 has internet connection and can access the apple movie, series & other databases.
- However when I navigate to "Trailers" ATV3 complains that Trailers can't be accessed!
- Nginx is running by default on the installation and using port 80 and 443.
Two further notes:
- My old Plex Server is running on my windows pc and Apple TV can communicate without problems.
- As long as I use the windows PC as DNS server for ATV3 with PlexConnect running on the windows PC, my ATV recognizes both libraries in "Trailers": The old Windows PC based library and the new raspberry library.
Here is what I did until now:
- Setup my raspberry using one of the images provided by HTPC Guides. This is a minimal Debian installation already including the plex media server installed as well as nginx. But by default no PlexConnect is installed.
- Install PlexConnect and tried to get the connection running and tried to follow the hints mentioned above.
- I created the certificates and the corresponding ATV3 profile.
Below are copies of my files (my raspberry within the network is 192.168.2.110).
