This part is optional, but if you feel like experimenting a lot, you might want to install a testing built of ffmpeg, that enables higher bitrates for the (currently) highest available quality (which is the only quality your ATV will use).
Since those changes are considered ‘beta’, you need to tell your PMS to download beta plug-ins, by enetering the following URL in a Safari running on the same machine as the media server: After that start Plex and check for updates in the PlexOnline section. Here are the detailed instructions given by quiqueck and a step-by-step video tutorial brought to you by īefore you install the actual plugin you need to prepare the Plex Media Server (it needed some tweaks before it would talk to the ATV). Plex for ATV2 is just a “proof of concept” so it is still buggy, tricky to install and limited to video playback (no music files, no images, no App-Management) but anyway, this is looking really good for the future of Apple TV2 applications (after the Weather app, this is the second iOS app that works on the new Apple TV). Based on the open-source XBMC, Plex now works as a client for your ATV and lets you stream nearly any kind of video from your server (read your Mac).
This is just awesome: iOS hacker quiqueck made it to install Plex on the jailbroken Apple TV 2.
