Test
First off thanks for the tutorial. I've followed all instructions up until connecting my Atv. I cant get it to show up on the iphone config utility device lost. Any help would be appreciated

There was talk that some USB micro cables don't work, I used one from an old Nokia phone , which worked. Another thing you could try is a different pc if you have one.
Hope this helps , good luck.
Cheers

Ok starting to feel a little new here. When I try to install the profile on the ATV o get "value connot be null. Parameter name: cert
Its starting to drive me crazy. I've repeated the steps at least 5 times now all with the same result on two separate machines. Think ill sleep on it. Maybe im missing something. Stupid night shift

fill out a little bit more on the right side...
i have seen that sometimes it also needs company info
just put something bogus....
the error you see is most of the time caused by missing name though but you said you followed the instructions so it might be company name
I've tried the company name. I've also tried filling out ever text field possible with the same result. Im beginning to feel pretty bummed lol I Wont be able to sleep until I figure this out. My ATV is useless without plex
Edit: finally got the certificate to install on ATV. Had to install the certification in "trusted root certification authorities" now for the final step.
A quick restart of PMS then ran the plexconnect script and everything is running smooth. Thanks for the help :D

i have the same problem as zombian.
i tried everything but still got "value connot be null. Parameter name: cert"
can someone help me?
First thing you'll have to do is remove the .cert you've already installed on your windows machine. If you're not sure how i used this tutorial http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-vista/view-or-manage-your-certificates
Next you'll want to install the .cert again (you can use the same one as before) but this time you'll want to install it in 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities'
After that you should be able to install the. Cert on our ATV.
Then I ran the script and restarted plex and everything worked. Sorry it took me so long, hope this helps

i installed the certificat and its now trusted.

but still got the (#$%^^&*&^^%$) "value connot be null. Parameter name: cert" its driving me crazy
i followed the intructions exactly but still getting it, i dont know what could be wrong or what i''m doing wrong.
So i followed the steps on here and I still get trailers unavailable. When i type in sudo /plexconnect.py I get a msg saying its not a batch file :S

Now I am completely lost
Two things I see. 1) server is not discovered. It is not finding PMS for some reason. 2) I only see port 80, where is port 443? So, are you using the correct version of Plexconnect? Is PMS actually running?
well for some reason it was deleted :S. The plexconnect I am using is the 5.1 I went to downlonad the new 5.2 but there is only the templet files and there only pv files.
Download this one:
https://codeload.github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/zip/master
ok so I have the file noob question here but where do I put it in 5.1 I have the Compiled Python files and CFGs
i finaly got it working. i gave the apple tv een recovery whit itunes.
i installed the profile and it works :)
