updated with missing Library for screen by robnadin

 

Fixed errors when attempting to start screen due to missing library

 

Updated version number too so you can upgrade from within the plugin

I have a few questions.

 

Note: I am running the free unraid version with no cache drive

 

Once the plugin is visible in settings - unplugged plg and you go to install it, I do not understand the install directory section. If I install it to the default /usr/local/PlexConnect, how would I go about putting the certificate in there? "BEFORE your start though please COPY your Trailers.pem file into /your_install_directory/assets/certificates start plexconect" Also, if I install it to that directory, I get "WARNING: Your Data Directory is not persistent and WILL NOT survive a reboot. Please locate Data Directory on disk for persistency".  I do not know how to navigate to that directory.

 

The default install directory is into ram/memory is that correct? Wont that directory be wiped out on a reboot?

 

I am very new to this. Thank you.

 

EDIT: Installing sick beard seemed to correct my issue not being able to install the app

there is a new version from the Apple Configurator in the appstore..

it is quite a bit different then the one from the screenshots in the manual to make the cert. file

as a result (and since i have no f**** clue what the hell i'm doing), it bricked my atv3 

 

o well, just restore factory settings and we're good to go again..

think i better stick with the airplay function within plex (on ipad) for now

This is just awesome. Thank you for doing this. Working perfectly on my NAS.

Ok so I have been using plexConnect for several weeks now with some success but it is much slower than it seems like it should be and is kind of inconsistent.

 

About half of the time when i go to open up a video using plexconnect on my ATV, i just get the spinning loading icon for a long time and then it will time out.  When this happens, sometimes if I try again, it just works or sometimes I have to reboot my AppleTV for it to work.

 

similarly, very often when we try to load up a hulu or netflix video (or even load up the hulu or netflix app), it hangs and hangs and eventually times out.

 

It is happening enough that my wife is asking about switching to roku.

 

so... I know that this is a plexConnect issue because if I change the DNS setting back to default on the appleTV, Hulu and Netflix work perfectly (and much faster).

 

So I am wondering what is wrong with my plexConnect setup that could be causing this.

 

I was just looking through the settings.cfg file (posted below) and I noticed a couple of odd things.

 

ip_plexConnect is set to 0.0.0.0 - is this correct of should this be set to the ip of tmy unaid server that plexconnect is installed on?

 

ip_pms is set to 192.168.178.10 - should this be set to the ip address of my unraid server which has plex installed?  if so that is not the correct ip address (not sure where that IP came from)

 

[PlexConnect]

port_pms = 32400

port_webserver = 80

ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0

certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem

ip_dnsmaster = 192.168.5.1

loglevel = Normal

enable_dnsserver = True

logpath = .

ip_pms = 192.168.178.10

enable_plexgdm = True

hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com

port_ssl = 443

enable_webserver_ssl = True

prevent_atv_update = True

port_dnsserver = 53

enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True

 

I believe beta12 has broken a lot of plugins for unraid and unfortunately plexconnect was one of them.

From my experience, always update to latest version as this can otherwise cause lots of issues and crashing.

 

Also ensure you have a strong network structure to support your streams.
