Turn a Mac mini into a media server with Plex

<p>With the arrival of the fourth-generation Apple TV (http://www.macworld.com/article/3000302/home-players/apple-tv-review-big-steps-forward-but-not-a-revolution.html), I found myself trying out the Plex (https://plex.tv) media server, and I realized that using Plex is one of the best ways to watch media on the Apple TV (http://www.macworld.com/article/3012244/streaming-media/the-best-way-to-watch-media-on-the-new-apple-tv-itunes-home-sharing-vs-plex.html).</p><figure class="medium right" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemid="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/07/mac_mini-100362013-medium.jpg">

<p>You can install the Plex server software on a variety of devices: your Mac, a PC, a NAS (network attached storage device), and more. (Heck, you could even set it up on a Raspberry Pi (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&amp;t=52315&amp;start=25).)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3017425/software/turn-a-mac-mini-into-a-media-server-with-plex.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
