When I open a music album with "Various Artists" in PlexConnect it's not possible to know the track artist name:

1. It does not appears in the tracklist of the album
2. It does not appears when I play a track (I have the useless "Various Artists" info when playing a track)
3. I can use PlexConnect's "search function" to find "Various Artists" but not "Track Artists"

Can this be improved ?

Hi,

I'm using plexconnect to play media on TV using "Trailers" app of ATV. All works fine but I can't play AC3 5.1 audio. I searched a lot over the Internet tried all the solutions like Setting Dolby Digital to "ON" on ATV, Enabling "Dolby Digital Apple TV" setting on PMS, Changed "transcoderaction = Transcode" in plexconnect's ATVSettings.cfg file but none works and my audio still doesn't work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

want to have the Plexconnect on autostart on my Pi.

Using thiis script, I can manually start it and stop it, but it just won't start on boot using either rc.d, rc.local or cron.

any ideas?

EDIT: I apologize for the horrible formatting, can't get it to show up as code for some reason. Help appreciated^^

Make sure you have screen installed:
sudo apt-get install screen
Create a file called plexconnect in /etc/init.d:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/plexconnect

Give it the following content (update the DAEMON_OPTS="-S PlexConnect -d -m /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py" line so it will point to your installation of plexconnect):
#!/bin/bash

  # For invalid arguments, print the usage message.
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
  exit 2
  ;;
esac

Make the file executable
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/plexconnect
And check whether it works (make sure plexconnect is not running before starting this one):
sudo service plexconnect start
Make sure the script starts automatically when you reboot:
sudo update-rc.d plexconnect defaults

OK, the issue is a weird one
Plex Server is up and running ( other clients can see and play the files)
PlexConnect seems to be forwarding requests without any issues, and other apps on the machine can access the net without any probles. No errors on the log
But, when I open the Trailers app, it just spits out : trailers are unavailable. Try again later.

The problem occured after upgrading the plex Server a few days ago.

I get the message above when I try to access my movies under the "By Folders" tab of my PlexConnect on ATV3.

The movies play if I select them from the "All Movies, Directors and Actors". tabs

I have another Movie Library that works just fine using the "By Folders" tab.

Any ideas why this is happening only on the Movies-"By Folder" tab?

Thanks, as always.

When I click on the trailers app on both of my Apple TV's, Plex loads but there are no thumbnails loaded (movies, music, or tv series). If I click on a movie or any other content I get an error. Everything was working fine up until last week. I'm running Windows 10. Log files are attached.

Hi all,

Long time Plex user and tinkerer. Upgraded my old HP N54 to a beefier custom server with an i5 and more RAM. Also upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 (then did a fresh Windows 10 install post-serial activation to ensure a clean install). So far everything going swimmingly and transcoding etc for 'official' apps is much faster etc.

PlexConnect is a different story though. It seems that (from my primitive understanding of the logs) when opening up the TV Shows or Movies panes under my Library (single server, no shared libraries etc) PlexConnect seems to hang until it has loaded, slowly, js.utils. I did not have this previously on my other server and am still using the same SSD to store all the Plex files and meta data so I don't believe file access times are being hindered. It's now just thrown an error as shown below in the log, then it finally loads js.utils.

So far I have -
Attempted to mash together my old PlexConnect settings file, changing the newly installed one to more or less match, no improvement.
Rebuilt the certs and re-added, no improvement.
Disabled Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, no improvement.
Changes PlexGDM to False, no improvement.

I've copy and pasted the settings file and log showing the random delay. It also seems to take longer to load content than it did before. Am I missing something I should have already disabled in Windows 10 to improve things?

Cheers for reading :-)

I must have changed something in my server settings becuase since i decided to play around with them, I can connect to my server. I only ticked or unticked boxes, didn't change any values, and I've been trying each independently but I can't access. I use OpenPlex in Mac OSX 10.9.5.

But yes, when I open iMovies on my aTV and go to shared libraries, they load instantly, but when I go to discover (my library), the screen just stays in Accessing iMovie Theather and the spinning wheel and nothing happens.

Anyone has any quick idea of what causes this?

Hi all

My install of OpenPlex on my MBP (2011) appeared to go fine. I rebooted, per the Tutorial, and my ATV3 got stuck on the Computer/System screen. I couldn't restore it on the Restore submenu of the ATV..I finally had to connect it to my Mac desktop via USB using Itunes and that finally restored it.

I would love to use Plex on the ATV3 but am wary of having the same result. Any thoughts

Here is the log. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

… as stated both by the TV settings (greyed out) and in PlexConnect’s log on startup, or restart for that matter. Helpful reference found on neither its wiki nor this forum but for OpenPlex 0.6 which then must be, I suppose, the one way to go to display posters and backgrounds.

The installer however stalls right after launch whether from out- or inside /Applications, ctrl-C’ing PlexC's running instance first, and a console message reads:

Hello,
I've been using plexconnect with my Apple TV and Synology for months and this problem started recently :
Sometimes when I watch a movie, it will pause in the middle (showing the loading wheel). If I press the button to go back, I have access to my Plex catalog but can't watch any movie (loading wheel). The Internet connection is lost. Only way to solve the issue is to reboot the Apple TV through the Settings.
Have you any idea where this might come from? I'm using a smartdns, could this be a reason?
Thanks a lot!!

Hello

I have a problem connecting to the router with plexconnect DLINK -DSL225 ??

I test the same setup with another apple tv on a lan network and a different NETGEAR router and everything works ??

While configuring the router DLINK DSL-225 does not work why ??

1) plexconnect server is installed on a server dedicated ubuntu 15.01 with a public ip as: 149.XXX.94.XX

2) the "apple tv with local ip 10.0.0.15 distribute the dhcp in the router 10.0.0.138

3) route the DLINK DSL-225et DHCP IP 10.0.0.138

I opened all the UDP port 53/80/443 on the DLINK router but nothing to do

I have set up DNS manual CALLED TV on the IP of my server on plexconnect: 149.XXX.94.XX but not work here ?? the DLINK router returns all the applications even as the default router for DNS resolution and therefore the resolution to trailes.apple.com always do what normally without using my plexconnect dns ?? Why???

So I look forward DNS options for this DSL-225 router and I saw that it is a following option:

Obtain DNS info from a WAN interface. so that all the host of my network know not resolve the host name on the Internet that refers to the internet providers dns ???

So I find another option below that says so check the box: Use the following DNS Static IP address

and I put the IP address public plexconnect: 149.XXX.94.XX

I am the problem is that the whole network or computer are 20 that passes through and all the other name resolution marce more, the whole network has more access to the internet ??

can you help me ?

to find an option to confiurer this router so that plexconnect operating normally?

thank you

Installing PMS on the NAS
 
First you need to check here if your NAS supports transcoding or not. If it does not support transcoding (which is often the case), you need to take the following actions:

• Convert all your media to an ATV supported format (check here for supported video / audio / photo formats). There are several tools that can be used for that, such as iTunes (for music), or Handbrake / iFlicks / MkvToMp4 (for video)
• Check /usr/local/plexconnect/share/PlexConnect/ATVSettings.cfg (or in the ATV, in PlexConnect settings menu) that

• transcoderaction=DirectPlay
• subtitlerenderer=iOS, PMS

Failure to do so will originate error messages (in the ATV) such as An error occurred loading this content (try again later).
 
The vast majority of the TV channels available as Plug-ins to PMS (standard and/or unsupported) require transcoding, and will not work when PMS is installed in a NAS that does not supports transcoding.

Troubleshooting
 
Trailers unavailable msg:
 
a few possible causes:

• You installed a DSM patch or a a newer DSM version: This sometimes can break PlexConnect. Just re-run the PlexConnect installer without uninstalling it first. If that does not work uninstall it completely and reinstall. You will loose any customisations and all your plexConnect settings.
   
• You created your own certificates for the profile on the AppleTV but you did not place those on the NAS (see advanced part)
  All generated certificates are unique and whatever is on the AppleTV must match with what is on the NAS.
   
• Make sure Port 80, 81,443 and 53 are allowed by the Synology Firewall 
   
• On a computer, set the DNS Server to the IP of the NAS
  surf to http://trailers.apple.com:80
  surf to  http://trailers.apple.com:81
  surf to  http://trailers.apple.com:443
   
  all of them should return the same error "Message: Not Serving Client'
   
  If this works for :81 but not for :80 then you need to select "Enable Web Station" in the web services control panel
  If this works for :81 but not for :443 then you need to check that "Enable HTTPS connection for web services" is off in the "HTTP Service"tab from the web services control panel

Advanced Part

Installing Custom Certificates

The installer includes default certificates for the trailers.apple.com domain. I did not replace the default certificates  myself because I think the security risks are very small, but you can if you like.

Remember certificates are unique ever time they are generated. You can not register your own generated certificates and then use plexconnect with the defaults from the installer. AppleTV and every instance PlexConnect have to use the same certificates!

Follow these instruction to install your own certificates:

• Generate certificates as described here (Mac or Windows)
• Move the generated certificates in /usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates on the NAS replacing the existing files
  this assumes certificates in your 'home' folder. This example uses the certificates for the 'Trailers' app. When you have chosen 'WSJ Live' the you need 'marketwatch' and not 'trailers' in the filename.
  • open terminal on mac (or use PuTTY on windows)
  • ssh root@<ip of nas>
  • chmod -R go+w /usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates
  • exit
  • scp ~/trailers.cer admin@<ip of nas>:/usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates/trailers.cer
  • scp ~/trailers.key admin@<ip of nas>:/usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates/trailers.key
  • scp ~/trailers.pem admin@<ip of nas>:/usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates/trailers.pem
  • make ssh connection to nas
  • chmod -R go-w /usr/local/plexconnect/etc/certificates
  • exit
• Upload the profile based on your certificates to the AppleTV as described above

Note: upon updating the installation (installing a new version without removing the old) your certificates are restored and these steps do not have to be repeated!

Using the Synology DNS Server package to capture trailers.apple.com (instructions by http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/user/136264-abmaonline/)

When you are already using the Synology DNS Server package, the PlexConnect DNS proxy will not work, since they both want to use the same port on your Synology.

If your not using the DNS Server, stopping and uninstalling it, is the easiest solution.
When you are using the DNS Server, adding trailers.apple.com and redirecting it to PlexConnect also solves the problem. Follow these steps to use this setup:

• Connect to Synology DSM web interface
• Open the DNS Server Settings from the DSM 'Start' button
  [attachment=20682:1.png]
• Goto Zones and select Create > Master Zone
• Enter this info and click OK:
  Domain Type: Forward Zone
  Domain name: trailers.apple.com
  Master DNS Server: *IP of your Synology*
  [attachment=20683:2.png]
• Select the new trailers.apple.com row and click Edit > Resource record (or double click the row for the same effect)
• Create > A Type
• Enter this info and click OK:
  Name: *leave empty*
  TTL: *use default, probably 86400*
  IP address:*IP of your Synology*
  [attachment=20684:3.png]
• Click Finish
  [attachment=20685:4.png]
• Do the same steps [3-8] again but this time with "atv.plexconnect"
• Goto Log and check if there are no errors
  [attachment=20686:5.png]
  
  The DNS should be working now, time to disable the PlexConnect DNS and get everything connected.
• Stop PlexConnect from package center if it is running
• Login as root on your Synology using SSH (password for root is the same for admin on webinterface)
• If you did not disable the Internal DNS server then Edit /usr/local/plexconnect/share/PlexConnect/Settings.cfg and set enable_dnsserver = False
• Start PlexConnect again

If your apple tv uses the Synonoly as its DNS Server everything should work now.

As a quick check try to access http://trailers.apple.com/ from your browser. It should show something about a 403: "Error code explanation: 403 = Request forbidden -- authorization will not help."

Most browsers use DNS caching, so it may take some time before you see the change if you accessed trailers before changing the dns server, testing with your apple tv works best.

Update for latest version in git

For those wanting to use the package and always have the latest version from git at the same time:

• Make ssh connection with root privileges to NAS
• Get git on your synology (using ipkg or spk; when using the spk package the git client can be found at /usr/local/git/bin/git, use this in step 6 and when pulling updates)
• Stop PlexConnect on Synology from package manager in DSM
• Navigate to package folder (if you can't find the 'share' folder, update to the latest package in the start post)
  cd /usr/local/plexconnect/share/
• Move current files to backup location
  mv PlexConnect/ PlexConnect-org/
• Clone PlexConnect repo
• git clone https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect.git
• Copy config files from original folder to new checkout
  cp PlexConnect-org/*.cfg PlexConnect/
• Change owner rights
  chown -R plexconnect:root PlexConnect/
• Start PlexConnect again from DSM (using command line kills the service when you logout)
• Check if everything still works.

Now to update your code:

• cd /usr/local/plexconnect/share/PlexConnect/
• git pull

​Starting from installer 0.3-9 this will be remembered when installing an updated version
 
Check if any changes were made; if so: stop and start PlexConnect from DSM package manager to pick them up

I'm running into a problem playing music back using PlexConnect.  I've got a large music library which plays back fine on other Plex clients.  When I try to play back music using PlexConnect, I get between 5-8 seconds of playback and then it errors out.  I know the music experience is 'experimental.'  But has anyone else run into something like this (and hopefully solved it?) I turned the debug log to high but didn't see anything particularly interesting.  

Thanks!
