Or at least play AVI’s?

Last night I did an impulse buy of A Bug’s Life. In iTunes, you can watch the movie as soon as it caches enough of it on your computer. Unfortunately, I cannot sync a movie to my Apple TV until the movie has completed its download as far as I can tell. I tried after a few minutes at least and couldn’t and then went to sleep…
That would be a fairly basic feature to add.
I’m thinking that once the iPhone is out or after Leopard is out and the Fall is rolling along, updates will surface as announcements are made and marketing hype surfaces for the Apple TV, iPhone, and Leopard/Macs, as well as new iPods for the holiday season. It will be an interesting Fall.

I am a bit concerned that apple could, if they wanted to, do some kind of check on it to see if it’s still the default 40gb unit, and if it’s not, disable future plugin or upgrade support. I suppose I could put the old one back in, but that kind of defeats the object.

once people have done that it’ll make a HDD upgrade feasibvle in my mind – but the ultimate has to be the plugin community, like it is for MS MCE.

Imagine – MS being more open that Apple!!

Any chance this can be implemented? Ruby is very versitile and great for scripting.

I haven’t been able to find that information anywhere..

Hd movies on the itunes store and an update to apple TV that allows us to use usb devices for storage with those Big HD downloads! cheers.

And an new section in settings to allow us to enable/disable , update/download plugins.

The Badge idea lead me to the same idea for a “Mail” plugin : Badges
Probably same wil go for RSS

This badge thingy would need to be customizable (show/hide, size, colors)

The hack way would be a RSS feed with plugins an a scrit that install them (that could be a wrong idea : opening doors for malware)
that’s why a request @ Apple to implement, host and check those plugin in the regular ATV release
