  • can you connect harddrive and play from that

  • @Mr2018TV As long as the external hard drive is connected to your computer and the videos you want to stream are added to your Plex library, then yes.

  • i am a computer ding dong. but i never give up. can you help me understand why when i type in my shh root@my atv ip and enter, it just comes back with -bash : shh: command not found.

    thank you.

  • @bodrangzen003 It's supposed to be "SSH" not "SHH"

  • What versions of Apple TV dose Plex support?

  • @olbapruy It supports all versions

  • i've followed all the steps, but now my apple TV basically just turns on and off and doesn't do anything at all.. feedback on how to fix this issue would be lovely.

  • I attempted to install this on firmware 4.4.4 jailbroken by Seas0n Pass and it did not work> My screen was black after rebooting.

    if this happens to you copy apt-get remove com.plex.client-plugin

    and your screen will come back instantly, no need to restore

see all

  • Hey i tried this exactly how instructed, but i come across this issue where when i power up my apple tv it shows the apple logo and then the resolution is shown in the top right of my screen which is obviously 720p, however after this process the screen flashes green once and says there is no connection between the apple tv box and the monitor, any help for this would be appreciated. Thanks, and i dont know wether this is relevant or not but my apple tv box was jailbroken using seas0npass. :)
