Will there be a media server app that will work on the new Apple Mac Mini with the Apple M1 chip? Kevin

^^ This ^^ Given the native hw transcode, and the fact that Plex on MacOS is popular, and the fact that they’re using clang, and the fact that it’s relatively easy to recompile your app as universal, I would guess it won’t be long before we see a Universal app. That doesn’t mean it’s just a single …

I’m in the same boat. I’m actually holding off installing it on my M1 mini just because I want a clean install on it once it’s released as a Universal Build. Ffmpeg was recently released natively for the M1, as with homebrew of course, so I assume the server can’t be far behind. It does run off ffmp…
