Setup

Three steps, then never again

No Docker, no playlist files, no extra server software. If Plex works on your Apple TV, Currents works.

  1. 1

    Install on Apple TV

    One app from the App Store. Nothing to install on your server or your Mac.

  2. 2

    Link your Plex account

    Scan a code, pick your server, and choose which libraries to use. Currents reads them and never moves or changes your media.

  3. 3

    Sit down

    Currents builds your lineup and tunes the first channel. From then on it's already running when you arrive.

Requirements

What you need

Currents is a client, not a media server. It plays what you already own, from the server you already run.

  • An Apple TV

    Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD running tvOS 18 or later.

  • A Plex server you can reach

    Your own, or one shared with you. Currents needs permission to play the media it schedules.

  • Enough to fill a channel

    A handful of movies and a couple of shows is plenty. Bigger libraries simply produce more channels.
