ebr 14913 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Gotta love Apple and their closed architectures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 If I were to find a developer for apple tv could your service layer be utilized for that as well? Luke, there is no development for AppleTV other than what apple develops. They have not opened up the developer portal like they have for Mac and iOS devices. ATV is a closed system. I posted a while ago a "hack", if you like, where a plex developer managed to fool the ATV trailers app into loading plex instead of trailers, this was done using Python, so there is no basic SDK to work from.

steve1977 67 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 This is great. Does the IOS app allow downloads to the iphone yet? Just realized that plex has this feature when looking at the screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realized that plex has this feature when looking at the screenshots. The app does not allow downloads. We will have to put some thought into it before we go that route 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard rumors (so it must be true :-) ) that apple would soon open up the ATV like iOS, so that 3rd party apps could be installed. Would be good if they did. Apart from that aspect, I like my ATV a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
