UPDATE: Plex client for Apple TV 2 has been updated to version 0.10. Read here how to get and install it.
This is just awesome: iOS hacker quiqueck made it to install Plex on the jailbroken Apple TV 2. Based on the open-source XBMC, Plex now works as a client for your ATV and lets you stream nearly any kind of video from your server (read your Mac). Plex for ATV2 is just a “proof of concept” so it is still buggy, tricky to install and limited to video playback (no music files, no images, no App-Management) but anyway, this is looking really good for the future of Apple TV2 applications (after the Weather app, this is the second iOS app that works on the new Apple TV).
Here are the detailed instructions given by quiqueck and a step-by-step video tutorial brought to you by iphoneblogr.com
