I’m on a Mac, can I set something like that up?

I’m a bit of a noob with all this stuff, I run it off a Mac Mini. Can I still do this?

You can get a used M1 Mac mini for not much more

Although an auto-update feature would be very welcome, manually applying each update is getting annoying

This post might just push me to get infuse lifetime! Thanks for a great server app :)

I hope we get an auto-update system soon

Ok so I did some testing, from the wall it’s about 7 watts idle. I wonder where that extra 5 is coming from, oh well still pretty good!

Sleeping it’s less than 1 watt, so I might see if I can let it sleep at night somehow

I have a meter I could test with if I wanted, although I’m not sure why iStat would lie

Sure! It’s an M2 MacMini, 16gb ram 512gb ssd. I monitor its power usage with iStat menus 6

True, I’m using a M2 Mac mini. Used to use a raspberry pi

Just curious, why do you turn it off at night? Mine only uses ~2 watts when idling

Edit; more like 7 watts but still pretty good

My Apple TV 4K will play PGS without burning in

I use an M1 Mac mini. It might be a little overkill, but I use the mini as a server for many things other than jellyfin too. encodes are lightning quick with no fan noise or heat and very low power consumption.

I do the same thing but with an Apple TV and infuse

That makes sense, the TV won’t convert it for you only pass through what it can. You would either need to convert the AAC to AC3 so it can pass through properly, or use a set-top-box that can force/convert it on the fly

I have an HDMI ARC surround setup also, and it doesn’t support eARC. It will do DTS/DolbyDigital+ surround but will only do PCM stereo, and my TV stupidly doesn’t support DTS. I use an Apple TV which converts everything surround to DD+ (but leaves stereo PCM lossless) and that works well enough for me

Eventually I plan to upgrade to an eARC setup that supports PCM surround pass through, and then quality should be better without conversion and my Nintendo will finally do surround
