Bam!
There is hope yet for trailers and WSJ. Actually I'm pretty sure you change the icon on trailers an wsj on iOS 8.
Nicely done! I have thought about doing the icon on mine but it seems to much for me to actually put forth the effort :)
Easy..... :) You can do it from the aTV restore menu.
How? Is there a restore menu? :unsure:
If on OSX update to latest openplex app revision then click update (existing users) in settings tab then after plexconnect is running click plex icon to get new webserver.py and icons for iOS 8!
Other Os’s or non OpenPlex users:
Copy (overwrite if existing) these files:
DNSServer.py ------>PlexConnect base dir (Overwrite Existing)
WebServer.py ------>PlexConnect base dir (Overwrite Existing)
icon@1080.png ------>/assets/thumbnails
icon@720.png ------>/assets/thumbnails
Restart PlexConnect once the new files are in place and Follow these steps below
Reinstall your theme (github) to get rid of the temporary files (use the default files from ibaa don’t overwrite ANYTHING) needed to upload the custom plex icon and reboot aTV to load the remaining icons. Enjoy
Here is an illustrated guide for the wahlman.j method for getting Plex icon on Apple TV.
- Goto aTV settings (not plexconnect) and restore aTV to factory settings
This found in Settings - GeneralIMG_2716.jpg
Scroll down till you get to Reset
Click Reset and you get to Restore
Then the AppleTV will update as follows:
- When it hits step 2 of 2 of the restore disconnect your Ethernet from your aTV and disconnect the Ethernet from your ISP (Internet modem) NOT your router
- when your aTV boots up to the home screen hook your Ethernet only to your aTV it will pull a IP address but have no internet since the ISP is still disconnected from the router.
- Change the DNS to your plexconnect host ip as usual
- hook back up your ISP to your router. Plexconnect will now serve the custom icon to your desired hijack, and all the icons will load up on the aTV.
Yeah that's too much for me, but thanks for posting the directions :)
No worries, takes about 15min or so if anyone was wondering.
great stuff thanksIf on OSX click Plex Icon on OpenPlex first in extras tab and update (existing users) in settings tab to get new webserver.py and icons for iOS 8!

any idea what this issue could be?
Thx:)
>>XML_ExpandTree(aTVroot, PMSroot, 'main')
This line is nowhere found in the code, much less in line 755.
Please double check, if you got the correct files when updating.
I've created (really modified from a plex banner png I found) a new flat version of the Plex icon to go with iOS 8's new flat icon style. I know, ridiculously picky, but that's me...

Nice!
282x159 pixels must be icon@1080.png icon which yours is for aTV3 for iOS8.
188x106 pixels must be icin@720.png icon size for atv2 for iOS8.
Does aTV2’s get iOS 8? According to this site, nope:

I like it, but I'm also picky, here it is with the text centered and the ringing removed :D
ringing?
ringing?
Light grey border around all the letters:-
Here’s a version with a very slight grey gradient, in case you don’t want a completely black background:-
Can the icon be changed without OpenPlex?
wahlman, have you noticed that if you do the ios 8 fix first, the icon button doesn't restart the plexconnect properly?
ios8 fix isn't necessary anymore. Baa already included it in the PlexConnect code.
