Found Footage: Custom Apple TV plug-ins debut
Awkward TV has posted this video showing a custom Apple TV plug-in in action. The post mentions that this is the second known custom plug-in (you can see the first in action here), and that it allows you to play .AVI files located on the main disk (rather than the iPod-esque Media library). For now those files are hardcoded in, as this is primarily a proof of concept. They did not provide a link for downloads, and there probably won't be a public release for a while.

Happy to see this. When I see Divx and AVI support (even if it's just a plug-in), that's the day I get an Apple TV. Until then...
