Guide

1. Download Python 2.7.X Windows Installer here and install it.

   NOTE: Please ensure the correct version is installed, PlexConnect will not work with Python 3.X.

2. Extract the PlexConnect archive you [downloaded earlier] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/archive/master.zip). We recommend extracting it to "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)" on x64 systems; if you use either of these folders and are running Windows 7 or later ensure that the directory has the correct read/write permissions.

3. Generate the SSL Certificates by following the [Windows Certificate Guide] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Install-Guide-Windows-Certificates).

4. Run PlexConnect by double-clicking "PlexConnect.py" from your installed folder. Upon first run, Windows will prompt you for firewall exceptions - Click "Allow Access"

   

   You should now see messages like these in the CMD window:

   

   Write down the IP_Self: ###.###.###.### address as you will need it for the next step.

   You can now minimize the CMD window.

   For manual configuration and advanced features see the [Advanced Settings page.] (https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Settings-for-advanced-use-and-troubleshooting)

5. Configure the AppleTV for PlexConnect
