![]() ![]() Now that I know Plex is for me and I love it, Im diving in a little deeper. …The wife still hasn’t grasped why we need to change the DNS setting to watch Plex so it really frustrates her to no end. Then forget to change it back when I was done. Since it was kind of a pain to have to turn on my big PC just to use my little ATV, I would frequently turn off the specific DNS address just to use the ATV3 when my main PC was shut down. The only down sides Ive noticed so far were: if Office PC was ever off then nothing on the AT3 would work, since all connections were being routed through the main Office PC. Thankfully, PlexConnect has a great work around - which is, using a windows service on the Server PC called “PlexConnect”, and changing the DNS address on the ATV2 to match it, this routes all connections through the server PC & it forces the stock “Trailers” app on the ATV3 to run a Plex player. As most already know, the ATV3 does not have an app store (and there is currently no jailbreak) thus you are stuck with the boxed apps that comes with it and nothing more… ever. When I first decided to get “my feet wet”, I used my regular Window 7 Office PC as the server and a AppleTV 3nd gen as my player. I’ve been a Plex user for about a couple years now. ![]()
