A clever little hack to display Plex content on an Apple TV with no jailbreak required:
The following tutorial will show you how to install PlexConnect on a Windows 10 x64 bit machine allowing you to play your Plex Media Library on an Apple TV 3. PlexConnect is a great way to get your Plex library on any Apple TV regardless of if its jailbroken or not. It takes over the Apple Trailers app and instead provides your entire Plex Library.
Essentially, you run a program on your computer which masquerades as the Trailer app. Next, change one setting on the ATV, and you’re up and running. It took me less than 2 minutes to install and get it running. It already uses the new transcoder (which means great support for subtitles), and I suspect it’ll support myPlex soon as well.
There’s a bit of manual configuration to do with this first version of PlexConnect. You can find an official discussion board, check out the FAQ, roadmap, or grab the source code here.
