New M1 Mac Mini as HTPC?
bhampster:
Quote To end this on a positive note, I *DO* agree with you that a Mac based installation of MC (on any hardware) is a poor home theater PC choice. I have tried it and it's no fun.
That’s positive?
Hmmm. This Brian thinks different.
My Mac mini is in house and I can’t use it till this weekend. It WILL be a HTPC replacing the 2010 version used for JRiver. My guess is it’s better than my already awesome setup.
I like Mac and I like JRiver on Mac.

Though, there is a caution:
(The price we pay for this is that certain kinds of multithreading bugs can remain dormant on Intel but become symptomatic on M1. Use Thread Sanitizer to test your apps!)

The more recent XCode compilers have exposed issues in MC via thread sanitizer that we've fixed and I've spent a lot of time with thread sanitizer fixing potential issues.

I wish you success. The solution did not suit me, but it might be great for you. Good luck!
Brian.

I use my 2013 15” MacBook Pro for home theatre. Top of the line at the time but still flawless and silent with any well encoded files. Even runs Star Wars 4k77 with no problem , no drops just a little fan noise! As good as my 17” i7750 gaming laptop that is only 2yrs old.

I'd be willing to bet you're going to be in pretty good shape, then. We'll see soon!
