Movies and TV shows will likely be just the beginning of Plex’s ad-supported content, as the company plans on working with additional media partners to expand its catalog.

So thanks for all the input, I guess the Mac Mini is going back to my desk to look pretty.Plex App On Mac Won't Open By siohosoling1976 Follow | Public I asked ChatGPT and it worked my trough the process of enabling the igpu. I followed some guides specific on my setup (proxmox) on how to do this but was bumping into issues. If i transcode 4k now, the cpu load sits below 10% (before it was 97%) **** UPDATE **** : after several people replied that with the current hardware 4k transcoding should not be an issue i've double checked to see whether the intel quicksync iGPU was being passed on correctly to the VM where Plex is running. Is there a big difference in performance between the initial m1 and the latest version (m2 i suppose), big enough to sell the m1 and get the latest version?

How come it’s so powerful, it doesn’t have the Intel quicksync …

If on macOS any specific configuration to make it act like a server? Any guides?Īny downside on using the Mac mini? Any limitations? I’ve seen some posts on it not handling some codecs well? If it’s on Mac OS, how do you manage the server, can you ssh into it or is it more like a Remote Desktop session and manage the server via the Mac OS gui? So I figured why not use it to replace the NUC plex server.ĭo you guys who use an m1 run plex on Mac OS or do you install Linux or something on the mac? Long story short, the Mac has been standing there on my desk looking pretty for a long time without being used. I have a Mac Mini M1 laying around which I bought when they were initially released to give Mac OS a try as daily workstation.īut after +20 years of windows it didn’t really work for me. So far it has been fine, but i’m bumping into issues due to to more 4k content which then gets transcoded and the nuc cannot handle it. Hi guys, I see a lot of posts about people really impressed by the transcoding power of the M1.Ĭurrently I use an Intel NUC Core I5-7260U from 2017 on which I have plex server running on Linux.
