Plex app for Apple TV now available


Personally, the best reason to jailbreak an Apple TV was to sideload the Plex app. So, I'm particularly interested in hearing Plex is now officially supported with an app for the new Apple TV.

Essentially you can use the Apple TV as a media player to your media tank running Plex Media Server. For example, you could have your Mac or even just supported network attached storage somewhere on your home network. You can then serve that content to your TV with the new Apple TV app. While not at home, you can also view the same content remotely using the existing iOS apps, for example.

Using Plex, you can catalog your media, plus make it look pretty using album/movie art. It all makes a pretty nice presentation for those looking to manage their content.

The Plex app is available for download on the Apple TV.
