Hello, I am brand new to Now Showing and trying to figure out how to get it to play friendly with Plex.

My ideal use case is: Display movie posters that I have downloaded and assigned to my Plex Movies and Shows.

I have downloaded the app on my AppleTV and on my iOS device.

I cannot figure out how to connect the app to my Plex to then display the posters.

Secondarily, per the documentation here: *Configuration is only partially supported on Apple TV. We recommend all configuration performed on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac and then remotely deployed to the Apple TV.* But when I try and change the Display on any of my devices, it only shows the one local device.

What am I doing wrong here

Not sure how many questions are in there. The one at the end seems like the main one. When you open the iOS client, assuming your Apple TV running Now Showing and iOS device running Now Showing are on the same network and multicast is not disabled on your router, the menu at the top labelled "Target Device" will show your Apple TV as an option for the display.
