    Advice: 2018 Mac Mini for Plex Server?

    Hi, I'm curious to making my own Plex Server at home. I'm not sure if a 2018 Mac Mini would suffice for that purpose. Planning to do streaming 1080p on 2-5 devices simultaneously. Would the i3 model be more sufficient or does it need to have i5 or even i7 in it? Would the default 8GB RAM be...

    My MacBook Pro sees my external drive when it isn't there.

    This is a common problem with me, but generally easy to fix. My external drive becomes unplugged very often, and if it happens very quickly consecutively, my Macbook will start to see it when it's not there. This usually is resolved by me restarting my computer. But recently (I use Plex, by the...

    TVos/TVapp - integrate external library into Up Next?

    I'm trying to wrap my head around the newer 4/4K model, TV app, and Up Next feature. From those with experience in these things... Is there an app that would allow me to integrate, let's say a 'folder' of personal library shows from a networked drive, into the TV app Up Next? Or would the...

    Best ATV app for playing music from NAS?

    I use Infuse to play all my movies & TV shows from my QNAP NAS and it works brilliantly. Sadly, it doesn't offer a music playback capability. I can use QNAP's own QMusic app - but it's pretty clunky. I'm reluctant to set a Plex server capability up for just music. I know Plex can do movies...
