If you have some ISO image files downloaded from the Internet or ripped/backed up from a Blu-ray or DVD disc, you may ask can Apple TV 3 play playback ISO content via Plex?
Hi all,
I haven't managed to find an answer so i guess the answer is no. But i would like to know if there is any way to stream iso files to the Apple TV? Im using Plex for my tv show collection, but i have a large movie collection of which quite a few of them are iso files and i don't really want to lose the menu structure of the DVD by converting them. Are there any options for streaming an iso files to the Apple TV?
