    Pleydia Organizer: Native Mac app to Rename TV & Movie files for quickly Organizing your Library for your Plex/Kodi/Jellyfin server

    I'm happy to announce that I developed a native Mac app using Apple's latest technologies for anyone who likes to organize their media files using a Mac (e.g. a Mac mini, a great media server). You basically just drag & drop your TV or Movie files into it and my app auto-searches them on TMDb...

    Remote file sharing on Mac

    Is there any way that I can share files and folders with my family by turning my Mac mini into some kind of server letting everyone in the family connect from their devices remotely? I would like to avoid paying monthly for an app that does this if possible – I've searched online and wasn't...

    16 Inch MackBook Pro -Would two external NvME drives give better transfer speeds? Should the plugged in on different sides of the Laptop?

    I am thinking of temporarily repurposing an Intel MacBook Pro as a file/ Media Server. I understand using an NvME in an enclosure is going to give the best speeds! . Would I get even better speeds if I split my applications between two smaller NvME drives? In other words I could use 2 1TB...

    screen-sharing stops working on Mini media server

    I'm using a mid-2010 Mac Mini running ElCapitan as a media server. I control it from my laptop, 2017 Macbook Air running Monterey, using screen-sharing (from a Finder window using Go -> Connect to Server). It usually works fine, but occasionally, after some days have passed, it stops...

    Wich is the biggest capacity HD I can stuff a 2014 Mini with?

    If everything goes right, at the end of the year i will be able to upgrade my main mac, and I plan to use my actual mini 2014 solely as a headless media server (something he already does while being used as a daily computer). For this, I plan on opening him and putting the biggest drive I can...

    Music server for Windows?

    I don't know if it's good/safe to ask this here, but a friend just built a 'server' and wants to use it as a 'media/music server', ironically 'just like your Apple system'. :rolleyes: He's afraid of being 'converted' to the Apple Way. I suggested, wild stab in the dark, Winamp? Apple used that...

    DLNA servers keep disconnecting

    (I don't know if this is the right subforum for this, so apologies if it's mis-categorised). I've been running PS3MediaServer for a few years to my PS3 and Samsung D6100 TV with no problems, but in the last few weeks its decided to stop working properly and disconnects after about 20 mins of...

    Mac Mini as a Media Server - Issues?

    For a long time I've used my MacBook Pro to store all my movies, songs, TV shows, etc. I'm running out of room. So I'm thinking of getting a (hopefully in March new) Mac Mini to hook up to my TV and serve as my iTunes media server. I would set up iTunes to share on the network, and my laptop...

    Hi All, I have a challenge. Buy a mini or a second hand air. I have two needs. 1 - a media server for my AppleTV and 2 - to load xcode and learn swift. I am currently using macincloud and performance is not good enough. I also don't have a big budget. So, do I setup a new macbook mini near...
