Apple has released an update for the Apple TV. The update is accessible through the Apple TV’s settings menu, and navigating to General then Software Update.
Apple has listed the new features and fixes found in Software Update 2.3:
AirTunes Streaming from Apple TV: Music can be streamed via AirTunes to Airport Express speakers or other Apple TVs in your house.
Third-party Remote Controls: Apple TV can now learn other remote controls and use them in addition to the Apple Remote.
Playlists: Playlists in iTunes that contain Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Music Videos can now be seen on Apple TV.
Music Volume Control: Support for volume control in Music.
As MacRumors explains, the last update the Apple TV saw was in early October when Genius Playlists and native HD TV show downloads were added to the device. Additionally, if you have modded or hacked your device — with the Boxee mod for example — you should hold off on upgrading.

allowing music videos in playlist is what ive been waiting for since day one because if you just select music videos on there own they won’t continuously play they play one music video then stops kicking you back to the menue to select the next one a real downer for parties
