    Awesome news. Got this up and running last night. Took about 5 minutes. Kudos to all involved for this clever hack

    So does this mean the Trailers app (or whatever is used), won't work any more ?

    I think I'd go for vimeo in that case, I never use that.

    Can it be made to boot directly into plex ?

    It looks like it has to use the Trailers app. That first set of bullet points was just outlining the goals of the project

    It hacks the Trailers app, to point it at a local Plex Media Server, where you'd have all your films/telly programmes/etc stored. This can be any Windows, Mac or Linux machine running the software.

    Yes, you'd lose the trailers functionality, but all of them are on YouTube anyway.

    Not as long as you set the DNS on the machine running Plex server to also use unblockus. Have it working smoothly here.

    I get the message "Trailers is unavailable. Try again later." when selecting a video to play with the Apple TV remote's select button. When I use the play button instead, it works. Maybe this will work for you too.
