First of all i would like to point out that i am really new to all of this, but at the same time really interested in al of this.

My question is regarding the "exploit" that allows us to make a connection between the plex server and the apple tv. my knowledge in this area is very limited so sorry for my ignorance, but my question is would it be possible to instead to using our own plex server, if we maybe could use the server that MovieBox(a jailbroken exclusive app for iOS, that is similar to netflix but free) uses, as far as i know moviebox is pulling the movies from a russian streaming web page... because if posible it would result in som kind of free netflix to the apple tv's with both tv shows and movies.

pleas respond, with your honest opinion.
Ps: i leav the hompage for moviebox http://movie-box.cc

Not at all. The server is specifically designed to get the video and data from Plex specifically. Unless movie-box is built upon Plex's server, the chances of it actually working are next to nothing.

Actually, upon looking at the app I'd say you'd just be able to use AirPlay to play on AppleTV, hence circumventing the entire exploit. When you're playing a video, just tap the AirPlay button (looks like a rectangle with an arrow) and stream to your AppleTV.

Ok, yeah that is what i have been using ( the airplay) however i thought it wold be cool if it would work to get it directly to the apple tv. Any way thank you very much for taking your time, checking that possibility, and as i said my knowledge in this is almost non existing so i trust you completely in your opinion.

Thank you for your time.
