The installation procedure for the third-generation Apple TV is more complicated. Before starting, read the installation process from start to finish to gauge your comfort level. We'll use Python scripts to duplicate an existing Apple TV application then trick it into playing Plex's content. It's a clever workaround, but it's not plug-and-play. Before you get started, you'll need to set up a couple of things correctly:.
Also, install the latest version of Plex Media Server on your server device. You can update Plex Media Server through the update page on your Plex server. When everything is ready, install the PlexConnect client on your server machine.
Broadly, you'll need to download PlexConnect, get a security certificate for it, and launch the daemon. Here's how to install it on a Mac. Download and unzip the PlexConnect archive from GitHub. Run the following command in Terminal to start the PlexConnect daemon:.
Here's how to install it on a Windows PC. Download and unzip the PlexConnect files. Move the PlexConnect folder to the Program Files folder. Select your Wi-Fi network's name from the menu. If you don't recall the IP address, you can find it in your router configuration. Navigate to the Apple TV's Settings menu. It starts the process of adding a profile to your Apple TV.
By default, you'll need to launch PlexConnect. If you want to make it run at startup either as a daemon on macOS or a Windows service, that's possible. Follow the instructions below. Now, install the iPhone Configuration Utility on your Mac. Use any name you want. Apple TV should be turned on. You have installed the Plex app on your Apple TV.
If you have any doubts, tell us in the comment section. However with the plethora of XBMC addons you may never have to leave. If you already have a Plex media server running on your network, it should be auto-discovered and your media will be available for playback. If you already use a Plex media server to stream your files then this is a great option for you.
The downside to Plex is the need for a Plex server running somewhere on your network to catalog files. It will automatically check for a new installer version and then should detect your Apple TV on your network. Click next and the installer will copy the necessary files and add the menu items to your Apple TV. If you changed your root password you will be prompted for the new password during installation.
Otherwise the installer will automatically use the default alpine password. Select manage extras and then install the media player. You can get more information about what aTV Flash can do at their website. Once the media player is installed and sources have been added, it will show up on your home screen just like the other two programs.
I would recommend following these links to stay abreast of the latest install instructions. I am a self-admitted noob when it comes to jailbreaking but I wanted to get my new Apple TV to be able to receive avi streams from my mac.
After many arduous hours of trial and error, I was finally able to figure it all out. So I thought I would spare others the hardship and share what I learned in a step-by-step guide to jailbreaking the current Apple TV firmware and installing the Plex Media client. So read below to see how I did it. Hopefully it will work for you too. By they way, I really am a noob. However if you follow the steps below, everything should work out.
One other thing to note. I would recommend reading through this entire tutorial at least once before you try to do anything. But to preview, you are going to: 1.
Jailbreak your Apple TV 4. Install the Plex Media client software. It just makes this process a little longer. In the details section, you can also find the three commands you will need for entering in the terminal application on your mac.
Basically, watching the video is enough explanation for how to jailbreak, so do that. But there are are couple things I need to note about the timing of plugging in cables. When you are entering the three commands into the Terminal app, make sure your Apple TV is not plugged into anything at all.
You have to be a little fast here and need to pay attention to the white light on the front of the Apple TV. When you plug in the mini USB, the white light will begin to blink about once a second. Then just let terminal do its thing. There will probably be an error message toward the end. Just ignore it. The software is very user-friendly and easily installed.
Totally unplug your Apple TV from any cables. Go to the first webpage and follow Steps 1, 2, and 3. The second webpage I list above shows how to get Cyberduck set up for this step. Then use the Cyberduck app to complete the instructions in red print on the first link above.
