I installed the PlexBMC addin using the most recent versions of software available. When I goto start PleXBMC, i get an error message stating Unable to Connect timed out. From the same machine where XBMC is installed, I can load the Plex client and it works. Here is a sniplet from the log file.

I can load the url from the logfile (http://192.168.0.5:32400/system/library/sections), but the only thing that is contained in that page is:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<MediaContainer noHistory="0" replaceParent="0" size="0" identifier="com.plexapp.system"/>


Is it that the addin is too old and no longer supported?

I think the support for this addon is actually on the Plex forums. There's been a v2 of the plugin floating around i think.
