schmitty 66 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hello, With the rumours abound of a fourth generation Apple TV to be announce at this year's WWDC. I was wondering if it is a possibility of an Apple TV client, when the SDK is released.
ebr 15667 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 If they actually release an SDK and allow us to build an app for it that is available via the store, then heck yeah.
schmitty 66 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 That would be awesome! Can't wait for WWDC. It will be good to finally see Apple TV with an App Store, instead of having to jailbreak to get the functionality we need. And would save having to have the Xbox 360/One on all the time, and waiting for Microsoft to release the SDK and store access for third parties.

mriksman 2 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Can't something be done like the aTV Flash (xbmc edition)? http://firecore.com/atvflash-xbmc The biggest problem that I still can't neatly solve is the idea of an extender. All the Living Room apps (besides Roku) require a PC. I am still running an XBox 360 for my extender! The Android TV (on say the Nexus Player) looks promising. But a client on the Apple TV I would happily pay for! Especially if it supported the live TV streams and such. 1

schmitty 66 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 There is a jailbreak for Apple TV 3. Haven't tried it yet though.

FredipusRex 12 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 If there's a Python developer who's feeling bored, they could always try to do a fork of PlexConnect. it's a method of highjacking the Apple Trailers app to redirect requests to a local Plex server and return data in the Apple XML format. It works pretty well and I would think Emby could perform a similar role.
im85288 1493 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah I've seen that and did use it in the past when I used to use plex. It does work fairly well but was quite advanced to set up the last I tried. If rumours are to be believed a new Apple TV is on the way with an App Store. Once this happens a better route will be to get the Emby iOS app into that store.
schmitty 66 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 Hello, Now that the new Apple TV and tvOS SDK have been announced, will an Emby app be made available?

Kaidok 0 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Is it bad practice to post this sort of thing here? Any update on that ATV app? Or did I already miss the announcement?
schmitty 66 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 An update on the progress of this would be good. Also, if an Apple TV cagtegory could be added to the forum where the iOS, Windows, etc. specific pages are would be good too.
Vidman 590 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Is it bad practice to post this sort of thing here? Any update on that ATV app? Or did I already miss the announcement?Well it's definitely bad practise to post it the second time;)
bondfreak 14 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Hi guys, I don't know how far the AppleTV app progress is, but I would like to volunteer for beta or alpha tests, if needed. I did not see any other suitable way to contact the team, so I hope this will be enough to declare my willingness. At the moment I am using a combination of an HTPC with Kodi (and Emby for Kodi) together with the Apple TV. I would love to switch everything over to the AppleTV, if the audio will work properly. I mostly got DD or DTS(-HD) content, which I assume has to be transcoded. Available DLNA client apps for the AppleTV are either pretty slow or can not play files from the Emby server. So, if there is any way of applying for an alpha/beta test, I would really like to know Regards, Bondfreak 1
albadraco 0 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I am also willing to take up the beta mantel.
hyperasus 0 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What is the status on the apple tv app? I have been waiting for months now resisting the itch to switch to Plex.
kigordid 1 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Am sure this is amazing for people who are willing to buy a new ATV. What do you have for us who are stuck on the old ATV3 ???
