Apple

Anyone here have a Plex (or Jellyfin or Emby) media server running on a mac? Would love to hear all about it. Since my household is mostly mac it just seems like a dead simple option. Would love to hear about any difficulties or nuances you've encountered along the way

Around $420 CAD after tax for a little media server that could double as my actual computer if needed. 

Currently I’m using a 512GB external SSD connected to my docked steam deck, and some scripts to keep it always on and connected to Jellyfin. 

But I’m worried about this potentially creating wear on my steam deck. I think the Mac Mini is more future proof, plus it’s intel so I can always put Linux on it if I want to down the road. Supports up to 64gb of ram, so I might even test some local models on it 🤔

Yeah, I've got that on my radar(r) for sure. The issue I'm having is we're two and from what I've seen plexamp for two with all the features (namely downloading for offline play) is gonna require two subscriptions. So I think I might stick with Jellyfin and either use Manet or Ampfin. Or even just load music manually to iphone to play in Apple Music locally (I do this currently).

it’s great. also you’re gonna want to look into sonarr
