Apple TV 3 hack

[Fernbay]

Here's something that those members with later gen ATV's might find useful. Not exactly a jailbreak (they can't be it seems), but close enough all the same.

Enjoy

Plex Connect (or "Plex @ aTV - think different…")
We all want the pleasure of Plex on the big screen - in this case driven by an AppleTV, unfortunately:

There is no App Store for the AppleTV.
It is not currently possible to jailbreak the AppleTV3
Only certain firmwares on the AppleTV2 have an untethered jailbreak (the current firmware does not)
It is not possible to move between AppleTV2 firmwares unless the user has previously used a tool to specifically save unique signatures for their device

How does it work?
The basic idea is to:

re-use a native AppleTV app (in this case Apple Trailers)
re-route the Trailers app requests to your local Plex Media Server
re-work the reply to fit into AppleTV's XML communication scheme
let iOS do the rest
enjoy Plex on your unmodified AppleTV

fingers crossed someone can get xbmc to run also on appletv3
