What am I doing wrong? Just going to regular trailers app...

Ok, I read the install guide and I thought i set everything up correctly, but all I get is the trailers app in my ATV2 (5.0.1).

 

I'm running 10.6.8 with the latest Plex version and PlexConnect version.  I have an AirPort Extreme network set up with two of them bridged.  The IP that shows up for the router and the DNS are the same in the ATV network menu.  I've poked around here and tried some things but still can't seem to get it to work.  I'm not getting any errors when the settings file runs, but this is what I get:

 

 

PlexConnect : ***
PlexConnect : PlexConnect
PlexConnect : Press ENTER to shut down.
PlexConnect : ***
PlexConnect : IP_self: 10.0.1.200
PlexGDM : ***
PlexGDM : looking up Plex Media Server
PlexGDM : ***
PlexGDM : servers discovered: 1
DNSServer : ***
DNSServer : Starting up.
DNSServer : intercept trailers.apple.com: 10.0.1.200
DNSServer : forward other to higher level DNS: 10.0.1.1
DNSServer : ***
WebServer : ***
WebServer : WebServer: Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80.
WebServer : ***
 
I did have OpenDNS running, but I've shut and removed the DNS entries from my AirPort down for testing this.
 
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

You've not changed the ATV DNS to the machine you have running PlexConnect.

What happens when I do that is that nothing shows up on my ATV menu except the computers and settings sections.  :-\

Ugh....didn't see the elephant under my microscope.  Forgot that I'd added Open DNS entries in my network settings as well and didn't blank them out.  Working now--however I did get the metadata error that I've seen others here mention.  Used the play button instead and all's good.

Did have a 1080p blu-ray rip quit on me about 3-4 minutes into it.  I'm assuming there's something to do with the high quality rip and ATV2 only handling 720p...?

Maybe, really need more info.

If it's an IOS compatible file, it will just be being feed to the ATV which will be downscaling it, if it's not, it will be being transcoded first, then feed to the ATV to downscale.
