7/29/2023 0 Comments Plexconnect apple tv 3![]() Plexconnect uses 8.8.8.8 because it is a globally available DNS server with a consistent IP address, your local router address is different for each brand, ISP etc so this would be a additional step in the install which is not needed as 8.8.8.8 works for 95% or users. ![]() Will report back after my daughter is off the apple TV! D Apple TV is Apple's streaming device that accesses the Apple TV+ service (4.99 per month), Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and countless other entertainment apps. I haven't tried this yet and can't be sure why OpenPlex / PlexConnect would use 8.8.8.8 so perhaps it would break something else, but at this stage I can't imagine why. I am about to try (and I suggest you do too) following the previous part of this thread and changing the DNS settings from 8.8.8.8 to your routers IP address. Setting the Apple TV back to DHCP no doubt does flick back to the routers DNS settings. I note from this thread the plex does not use the router's DNS settings. The special DNS settings are automatically applied to the router. My ISP get's netflix primarily via special DNS settings. I think there is an improvement that can be made to openplex / plexconnect in the process, here's what I know for my scenario: However, I thought I'd do a search this evening and I think your thread explains the issue and should solve it for you as well. I've been having this exact same issue, as an interim I've just been switching between automatic and manual IP settings on apple TV to get around it.
