  1. Hi,

    i have a small problem…

    root@PlexConnect:/ # bash /PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash start
    Starting PlexConnect…
    01:44:53 PILBackgrounds: No PIL/Pillow installation found.
    root@PlexConnect:/ #

    What does it mean?

    1. Pillow is another piece of Plex. It enables Fanart so you get background images on the apple tv if you using one. It won’t stop your plex or plexconnect working you just won’t be able to enable the fanart option on the apple tv
