Windows specific instructions for creating and installing the SSL cert

New problem.My device doesnt show up in the Iphone config utility after I went through all the steps?  Then I thought I had to restore it and it updated it >.<

Thank you very much, friend.

my plex is now working again. Not sure exactly what it was that fixed it. I downgraded firmware from 6.0 to 5.3 as there was supposedly problems also followed instruction for certificate from here: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/79540-windows-specific-instructions-for-creating-and-installing-the-ssl-cert/ instead of original.I think there was issues with my certificate so followed these instruction precisely  Happy its finally working again thanks for everyone help :)

I don't have any micro-usb cable, does that mean that I can't install plexconnect correctly? Is this Certficate/ssl thing essential since the latest ATV update? 

I've never tried PlexConnect, not any version.

yes the certificate/ssl thing is essential, even before the latest ATV update because of something apple did :(

I used and old cable from a blackberry phone to hook mine up!

hi guys.. first of all, sorry or the noob question. but will my windows pc haev to permanently be connected to my ATV3 or is it just for the installation/setup process?

Just for the certificate install

Ok so once the install and setup is done i can disconnect my laptop and Plex will run? What about the DNS address? just change it to automatic and it will work?

PMS and plexconnect need to be running, your ATV’s DNS needs to point to the ip of your plex connect machine. Then plexconnect will intercept all calls to trailers.apple and present your plex media. You just need to connect via the USB to install the certificate.

Ok, so basically my pc needs to be running all the time as that will be my "plex connect machine"? 

Yes.

Great, thanks for your help Drewbie

Wow 4 hours of trying to get tehis to work and still no luck :(

Here is my Settings.cfg:

[PlexConnect]

port_pms = 32400

ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8

loglevel = Normal

enable_dnsserver = True

ip_pms = 192.168.178.10

enable_plexgdm = True

 

And here is my PlexConnect log:

PlexConnect: started: 23:12:00

Thanking you in advance :)

How old is your version of Plexconnect.

PlexConnect: Press ENTER to shut down. tells me very.

Download the latest version form giuthub  https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect

The version you are running does not have the certificate code so will not work.

Not sure on version on PlexConnect. Will try the one from Github and try that. Does everything else look ok?

Too hard to tell as that version is so old it does not even have the certificate changes.

Use this version, the latest:

https://codeload.github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/zip/master

already downloaded the latest one from Drewbies link, will only be able to test it tonight.

EDIT: NEVERMIND guys. Wasn't using PlexConnect's latest release. Just tried it now and it worked beautifully :)

Hi, this is my first time using Plexconnect

I've followed all instructions here https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Windows-7-and-ATV-with-5.2-firmware-and-ethernet-internet-connection-installation-guide and at this topic

I've set my ATV's DNS to 192.168.1.107. 

This is my cmd window:

Also, this is the message I get when I try accessing 192.168.1.107 at my browser:
 
Error response

Error code 403.

Message: Not Serving Client 192.168.1.107.

Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help.

 

 

 

 

What should I do?
