AppleTV 2.4 Update, Remote App now has gestures?

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Jun 24 2009

AppleTV just got a somewhat significant update (2.4) allowing for new gesture support.  Flick gestures can now be used to manipulate Apple TV’s menu options. Also, Video and Audio have new flick gestures that can be used to advance, rewind and replay.  No word yet if it breaks your precious Boxee…but you’d be smart to hold off until some sucker finds out for you.  Check the comments.  MacRumors also got a screenshot below. 

 

We’ll be following along as more information becomes avaialble.  Feel free to add your experiences in the comments.  In the words of a certain someone…cool, but not cool enough.

Plex media center adds Aperture support, continues to shine

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Nov 25 2008

Plex.app hits .71 release this week and continues its ascent to the top of the Apple media center world.  Sure, Frontrow is blessed by Apple.  Boxee has lifted the same XBMC code and gone a different direction.  But, as far as fully funtioning Media Centers go, Plex.app is easily the best, and getting better fast.

This latest update adds support for Aperture library browsing (iPhoto and iTunes has been supported for months).  Not just your Aperture either…but any Aperture out there on the Internet so long as everyone is using Plex.  Support for Adobe’s Lightroom is also on the way.

Recent features include the ability to open any application from Plex’s interface (including FrontRow), iTunes visualizers and playback of DRM tracks from the iTunes store and Sparkle software updates.
