appetv worth it?

i was wondering if it worth to buy an applentv for my mother to watch my content over myplex. she has no local server so only remote server is in discution here. i read here and there that myplex is not working at the moment, did something changed meanwhile? thanks

At the moment plexconnect does not support myplex. So it would not work.

thanks, i understand , so i’ll sit in my bench for now and wait for news

Even of myplex was supported I am not sure it would work in this situation as the application does not run on the ATV the ATV’s trailer app just points to plexconnect, plexconnect then would be connected to myplex. So you would have to have plexconnect running at your mums.


But this is all just my thoughts, no facts on how it would work.

Not worth it. You could do AirPlay, but that’s not perfect.

so no decent solution available for now. i don’t knownbut i just not feel safe and easy with roku. any other solutions available ?

Roku works fine. Don’t understand why you don’t feel safe. And for the sake of £9.99 delivered and 5-10 minutes of your time you could get her a nowtv box. Works flawlessly and even if she doesn’t like it you’ve only lost £9.99

Now TV is UK only right?

I'm not sure roku support direct play for all the formats that appletv supports. appletv is not a great options since in the future the actual working method could be banned when new ios version come out.

Why not just build a customac from here:
