A clever little hack to display Plex content on an Apple TV with no jailbreak required:
Plex is a pseudo-server that runs on your computer to stream its video to the apple tv. The benefit of this is being able to play any format that plex can play, the downside of this is it uses a lot of CPU along with bandwidth in streaming.
Im somewhat good with computers but clearly not on this little adventure. I was previously able to put plex on the ATV3 before the last update. Please all i need is an EXACT step by step guide on how to do it. I LOVE plex and love the effort people put in to make it work. Im also a proud plex pass member so i wanna take full advantage of the program if possible.
Oct 29, 2018 Credits to the team that developed PlexConnect, specially @baa @roidy and @f00b4r (the core team), but also to the many others that contributed to enhance PlexConnect. ATV2’s and ATV3’s were created by Apple to stream media from Apple’s catalog and from user’s iTunes networks. Users willing to stream from PMS (Plex Media Server) to ATV2/3 need to use PlexConnect. Apple no longer.
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.
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.
