Not only have I been a long time Plex user, but I have built a few Plex servers of the years and I wanted to outline my newest setup. It is quite a beast, especially compared to the previous server which was a 2012 Mac Mini which I only used out of simplicity but in the end it was not powerful enough to handle my needs. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro that I would like to use as a media server with a 2TB hard drive plugged into it and running Plex on my FireStick to access the movies etc. I have a MBP(early 2011) that I use fairly regularly at home. Is it possible to run the plex media server on it to serve media from my Synology (ds413j) to my apple tv? I'm intending to run it over my wireless N(time capsule) where the laptop can be moved around the house and used 'as is' with the server running in the background. Apr 29, 2019 My experience is totally different. On my Apple TV I get way more errors, hangs, delays in Infuse than Plex. I just did a test on my iPhone playing a 4K video. Macbook pro apple menu. Infuse (using the NAS Plex server) ran a 4K video in direct play with no visible load on the NAS server (cpu2%, network 5MB/s). Buffer stalls every few minutes. May 05, 2020 With a Plex media server and apps on your computers, iOS devices, and Apple TV, you can store and stream your collection of non-DRM movies, TV, music, and more to any device, anywhere. Better yet, you can share all that media with your Plex-using friends, and enjoy streaming theirs in return.
