Apple TV Jailbreak Complete on New ATV

Jailbreak ATV

Well, there you have it, kids. Your new favorite hobby has gone from having a confirmed exploit to a legitimate jailbreak in the space of a mere couple of days. MuscleNerd reports that the Shatter jailbreaking endeavor has claimed its latest iOS victim today, though as you can see for yourself, it's "not quite ready for prime time yet." App installations still have to be figured out, but at this pace of development, you might have the jailbreak delivered before your actual device.

Sweet, now if they would only port the hulu plus app over I'd be satisfied!

Pandora, hulu, and a way to customize the interface (or an interface that prioritizes my iMac's iTunes library), and I'd be totally set.

I'd like it to stream MKV and AVI files.

WOW, that was quick!

 

[DouchGod]

Let the fun begin.

Would be cool if Plex devs would make an app for it.

or Boxee!

or XBMC!

Would be cool if Plex devs would make an app for it.

They won't make an app that relies on a jailbreak, they'll wait until there's an official SDK.

Someone else might make their own client that taps into the Plex Media Server, though.
