Last nights build works for me. Login and then under settings click on the discover button. If your sections are not showing up try rebooting the atv maybe.
I have it working with 3 local servers accessing via myplex.
Note channels are not yet working with myplex, and watched status was not yet updating for me on a ATV with ios6.
EDIT: Make sure GDM is enabled
What I did was in the plex media server settings, I click advanced and under the myplex menu option I enable ('check') the 'Require authentication on local networks' option. This means that any client trying to connect to the server will require authentication via myplex and then will have own view status for sure.
If you have some other local clients on the network that can not auth, you can allow them by going into the network menu option in advanced mode on the plex media server and create an entry like this in the 'List of networks that are allowed without auth' text box:
Cool.thanks for the quick response. Try it out right now
One last thing I forgot to mention, make sure your plex media server account is logged into myplex and create shares for those 2 other users (those shares need to also me accetpted by the other users before they will work) :)
I am on ##plexconnect in freednode.net irc often if you need to chat interactive to get it going
There will be some lag - it has to fetch reams of xml metadata over the internet. (maybe some caching could be implemented - or not)
Watch status, subtitles, audio, search are still not working.
I'm holding off on any further coding enhancements for now though. For the most part, I'm interested in seeing how baa is adapting the code before I invest any significant time into it.
My version is at github.com/megahambone/plexconnect - it has support for remote myplex content, but it's not quite complete - works well enough to have you weather the storm.

Ah okay. Thanks for your work man. I'll def check it out sometime.
So, do I understand this correctly; The MyPlex option in the menu (on my AppleTV in the hijacked trailer app) actually does nothing (for now?)
I am thinking about running a PlexConnect instance locally at my parents house and then pointing their Apple TV's dns to that PlexConnect instance. Today I was over there and just tried it out, but I could only get it working if I hardcoded my external IP in their PlexConnect config and put their external IP in the allowed list in my (remote) Plex server. That works, but that just gives them unlimited access to my server. I only want to grant them access to certain sections, but if I understand correctly I have to wait a little longer for that to work?
btw, I'm using the original (baa) release, not the forked one.

You are correct that it does nothing for now.
Baa is implementing MegaHamBone's work into the main branch in stages.
No problem! Just ordered PlexPass a few minutes ago, as I also noticed that the viewed states (watched/unwatched) were my own. I want them to be seperated between my parents and me. Guess that's a PlexPass thing :)
