Is everything wired? For the longest time I had a slightly slower processor and it was completely fine for a stream out of house and everything internal that was also wired.

Spend the money on a used Mac mini. The footprint rules, looks fine around other AV equipment, no power brick, power draw is reasonable, native Plex install, minimal loving around when MacOS releases major version updates, Remote Desktop so if you do have to get into it you’re able to avoid command line if you want it, plenty of power to extract files and transcode antenna streams, gigabit Ethernet to connect to a NAS, usb3 if you have local storage. I’ve had it for over 10 years at this point ad I know my original Mac mini would still do the job even though I’ve upgraded twice during the span because I have other things running on it. Even that cost given how much I use it borders on worth it to me. sellouts fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Mar 14, 2022 |

My Mac mini runs as a server and has been solid for 10 years except a hardware upgrade. I don’t want anything that expects keyboard input to be used to watch media. Only serve it. My tvs are connected to whatever Apple TV I have, depends on the tv and location. Works great and with HomeKit I get doorbell notifications with a lil live video when it rings. It runs other poo poo but, again, 10 years with no downtime other that a move and hardware upgrade. And honestly if it was just a Plex server I probably wouldn’t have needed to upgrade. Couldn’t be more simple. The variety of hardware supported is great. This is a premium solution but if you can find an old one and maybe need a bit more I think it’s worth a consideration.

Dicty Bojangles posted:Do any of you serving Plex from a Mac Mini do it via Linux rather than MacOS? Nah. Runs fine and transcodes fine for me. I set everything to start at login including mounting my NAS and it’s good.

Scruff McGruff posted:I would also say that if you like tinkering with tech, now's a good time to look into setting up PiHole on your network. Not that it's a perfect solution, I know there have been times where I think both Google and Amazon have, in the past, made it so that their devices won't work at all if they can't reach their ad-serving CDNs. I agree w/ this. I love PiHole. But I am close to putting my appletv on an exception because every cable station app needs the ad serving network or it won’t load live video.

How is it connected to the network and how is the client connected to the network

What’s the alternative client like Infuse? I bet that solves it.

The TV should be as smart and powerful as possible. And you should use none of those features and use a dedicated device for whatever you’re trying to do.

Even a commercial display isn’t going to compete with any of the OLEDs. Commercial displays do not care enough about quality at this point. The issue isn’t smart TVs. A cheap standalone client for whatever ecosystem you like is going to be the way forward and they’re all only getting cheaper.

Just sign the tv into a temporary network. agree to terms, update it or whatever and then never connect it to a network again.

I think something has happened to my Apple TV. I’m getting frame rate issues in even non 4k media. Everything is wired, server freshly restarted. Is the Shield Pro still the gold standard for playback? If I’m moving away from ATV I’d like 4k, hdr, all of the stuff the tvOS Plex client can’t do Edit: I probably should just go to infuse sellouts fucked around with this message at 18:12 on May 12, 2024 |

Yeah, I just really didn’t like the layout and it’s hard to retrain others. But you’re right.

Oh yeah, infuse doesn’t do LiveTV. That’s why I never used it again.
