I know they havenāt released the universal search API yet but will Siri work with Plex?
The āWhat did they say?ā option for example which winds back the video.

Itās nothing nefarious, itās just around certain nuances of the rules around linking to your website in certain contexts.
They havenāt mentioned āIntent to purchaseā have they? I know that one very well.
Itās not a proper app release if youāre not getting a couple of rejections from Apple
Sounds like a third party solution, Simplex, is already out. $2.99 and I have no idea if itās any good so Iām still holding out hope for the official Plex app! https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/187382/simplex-a-native-3rd-party-plex-client-for-the-new-apple-tv-4th-gen/p8
@petercockroach I can vouch for Simplex! it works flawlessly and uses the native Apple TV UI. Iāve been beta testing it for the past 2 weeks. Iām not sure what the official Plex app will look like so have nothing to compare it against but itās definitely worth the $2.99!

Will you support Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) passthrough as well as AC3 passthrough?

Not at launch for eAC3. We didnāt have enough hardware to test this thoroughly.

Will the server try to feed it eAC3 if we hack around with the xml profile in the Plex Media Server.app container?
Edit: also, is the Server smart enough to transcode other surround formats (FLAC, DTS, DTS-HD, AAC, etc) into (e)AC3?

If you hack the profile, you will void the warranty, sir! Your server may catch on fire. But yes, you should be able to coax that into working.

Yes.

lol, thanks for your answers. Iāll report back tomorrow (assuming Apple hits the approve button) on how eAC3 works on my setup. I look forward to it.

Continuing that line of thought, will the Plex server ever be smart enough to transcode text-based subtitle formats to tx3g. With the release of the Apple TV, this issue has become all the more pressing. Video can convert between video formats, audio can convert between audio formats, but subtitles cannot convert between subtitle formats. The fact that srt subtitles require a full video transcode on iOS (i.e. tvOS) devices is driving me NUTS. Iād love to hear why this feature hasnāt yet been implemented. Keep up the transparency Elan!
Man, opened up the app store only to find Plex isnāt there yet. :((
There are some cool apps though so Iām excited for whatās to come. Bring on the Plex!
