Apple TV 3rd generation finally gets jailbroken on latest firmware (7.4) – AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)

There are two ATV3 models (A1427 and A1469) and jailbreak has been discovered for A1469, the latest one. Looks like A1427 is in the works. More info in this article.

This opens the possibility of running PlexConnect in the ATV3 without the need of a separate computer. It’s a bit early to advise PlexConnect users to jb their ATV3’s, but testing is welcome.

This could be REALLY good news!

Well, I did it knowing that I would possibly lose Plex connect and I did. But I just saw an announcement for a Plex connect update. Will it work with the latest version of tvOS for ATV three?

Is tvOS available for ATV3 ?

I’m using firmware 7.4 (iOS 8.4.3) in my ATV3 and PlexConnect 0.7 is ok.

Was just calling it that for lack of another name. The main thing apple did was add a way to use TV+

I sent your Wiki guide to JTV who is creating a script to automatically do all of this stuff. He got PO’d cos he’s in the middle of compiling and I bombarded him with links haha. My main concern is having the ability to use an alternate app rather than Trailers, or if I need to worry about that.
