#Plex media server for mac wont start install

For me, a top line QNAP can't compete with the mini & storage, & i certainly have zero experience of anything windows, but as always YMMV.

Repeat step four to link all your media folders into Plex Media Server. In order to create a new folder, click Add a section under My Library, and select the folder where the media files are located. If it gets sluggish (which I can't imagine) you just update the mini & if a hard drive dies, I just update the array. Open the Plex Media Server by right clicking the application icon on your start bar and selecting Media Manager. I'd always go down the road of using a mac mini as although the initial outlay is expensive for what it is, it's one less thing to go wrong - sure I could get a qnap or synology, but the chips in there aren't as powerful & although the mini has HDMI, I prefer the interface on TV. One look at the Plex forums would give the answer they're seeking & there's loads other posts on here talking about what people use - NAS vs mac (mini's are also mentioned as HTPCs) vs windows vs pi vs nvidia & so on. I'm not exactly sure what the OP's question is.

This will display a Plex icon in the menu bar, and for the initial setup. Locate Plex Media Server on the ADM desktop and click on it to open Plex Media Server. Click Plex Media Server and press Install.

Plex still runs under Rosetta it's not M1 native yet, so whilst it's no doubt better at what it does than my 2012 (& loads of other competing options), I'm holding until either it's native or apple bring out the mini pro (hopefully both come at the same time for a full fresh install & rebuild of my libraries) Download Plex Media Server for Mac from the Plex website. Using a web browser, log in to ADM using an account with administrator rights. If you're able to access the Plex server using a client on the same network but are unable to connect outside, the most likely cause of the problem is the router.

Click to expand.I'd commented earlier that I was waiting for the new mac mini, that advice still stands, so that's my recommendation.
