@MrMC: will you enable any user customization?

However that won't work on MrMC (which is the fork of Kodi likely to be in the Apple TV App Store) as it relies on Python, which couldn't be included in an App Store release. AIUI MrMC will likely to be supporting a different type of add on based on Javascript?
If/when the MrMC code revisions get folded back into Kodi, you may be able to run Python apps via a side-loaded Kodi install on an Apple TV 4 (installed via a USB-type C cable probably) now that Apple appear to have opened up side-loading to anyone (not just registered developers) Timescale for this ? Who knows!
MrMC is likely to arrive before Kodi on ATV4s.

Hopefully you can change the default background...

You mentioned buffering once before, but does your build have any issues with playing full Blu Ray rips? Ive had had trouble with both remuxed MP4s and homestreaming and Plex (Direct) but only on some movies, yet my ATV3 was fine with the same things via homesharing and plex connect. It seems to be a buffering issue with the ATV4. Since you are directly playing from a file share and not streaming it might not be an issue but I don't know how the internal atv4 player bits work?

Will the App allow us to play .mkv files from a NAS device on a network?

what can I say, plex sucks
I don't see any issues with buffering.

Since kodi (still) lacks the feature of reading metadata / tags in video files, i wanted to ask, if you are planning in supporting this for mp4 video?

Not for v1.0 but later versions, yes.

I didn't have any issue with Plex buffering on the new Apple TV.
I was waiting for the full version of Kodi to be sideloaded but I'm really enjoying Plex right now.

Nice to hear

i guess with a PC you can not do much. You need a MAC and Xcode > 7.0. You will get it at the Mac App Store for free. Then you can download the source code for kodi and try to compile it yourself. But i wouldn't recommend it for you and it won't probably run without changes. So without a MAC and Xcode and knowledge of compiling stuff yourself, you can only use the App Store on the AppleTV and wait for official release of MrMC
