Opps Sorry.
Figured this out the solution a while ago, didn’t posted as promised.
The solution to the PlexConnect, connecting to my existing Plex Server, was. Is it WOULD NOT work. Plex has to be running on the same box as PlexConnect. And you can’t run PlexConnect on a SERVER because the server already uses the ports that PlexConnect wants to use. Solution, install both on another box, then connect the new Plex system to the existing Plex server. Yes, it is messy, but it worked.
We still have the problem when the power goes out, that someone manually has to start PlexConnect. But we still have plans to create a small LiveCode program that will handle that. So keep checking back.
