[mythtv-users] AppleTV with Linux

>I've seen videos on youtube (

Here's the URL reference if you want to play, 
http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/MythTV  remember that rev 2 of the 
appletv software currently breaks many plugins. This method uses the 
"App Launcher" plugin and I don't remember see it was fixed yet.
