Given that I have to have the video files in an ATV supported codec already, what is the advantage of using Plex over using iTunes to manage videos?

- derefr 11y agoYou don't have to. One of the main points of Plex is that the media server (the component running on your PC where the media files are) does Just-in-Time streaming transcoding. You keep your files in the source format; they're served to the AppleTV in a compatible format. You jump to 0:30:00 on the AppleTV; the transcoding process jumps to 0:30:00 in the source and renders+streams frames from there.
