I have the M2 and I got it on release date last week. So thanks for all the input, I guess the Mac Mini is going back to my desk to look pretty. 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. On the other hand, the possibility to install channels is really interesting.Īccess extra contents through these channels.Īny topic you can think of can be found through this program's channels, either carrying out a simple search or browsing around the different sections: new, most popular, recently updated.įor instance, the channel category offers several topics:Īll in all, with the software area that takes care of the media server you can gather as much multimedia material as you need for your entertainment, at the same time that it offers you access to the latter from any device.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. The different contents can be organized in different sections to simplify their access. Half way between a leisure center and a media server, Plex is the perfect solution for those users that want to centralize all their multimedia entertainment in a single application.
