Gave it a shot tonight and it works. Rather impressed.
I did have to disable the webserver / websharing, as it needs to listen on port 80, but I can always change the apache config to use 8080.

Have to say I'm rather impressed with this. At the moment it's a bit geeky (edit python script, then run via terminal), but I'm sure they'll knock up an actual app wrapper for it soon.

My little AppleTV 3rd Generation is going to be used a lot more now it can act as a Plex client. I recently got a sub to Netflix, so it was getting more use than previously, and now, well, it's going to be the integrated solution is should be.
