Plex is the reason I bought my first Apple TV several years ago. I went to great lengths jailbreaking it then installing Plex and setting it up to access our library of TV shows and Movies. It worked well but needed constant updating and you had to be careful not to go installing updates from Apple which would undo all your hard work with the jailbreaking.

Now that Apple has finally released an App Store for the new Apple TV, Plex has been quick to release a native version of its media player for the App Store. This alone is almost enough to justify once again getting a new Apple TV!

We’re incredibly proud of this new app, which is essentially one of the richest apps we’ve built feature-wise, built in just five short weeks. Feast your eyes on the screens, and then go download the new app. It’s completely free for everyone, and it’s awesome.

Five weeks is an impressively short amount of time to prepare an App for the App Store, good effort.
