Hi I have a complete home server setup with one gaming PC and one home server PC, 2 apple TV 3rd Gen and some IP cameras. I would like to know if I can use a Mac Mini as an Apple TV. I feel the features are lacking in the apple TV as I need something with an Internet browser and something that can stream 3d movies to my TV and for the TV to recognize this content. Will it be worth it considering I have a server PC with all my movies, music, pictures and series on it. I don't own a Mac mini yet but I'm thinking of buying one. I do not realy understand what you want to do.

You can AirPlay to Mini with Reflector from the server if the serve support AirPly Mirroring A supported Mac AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:. iMac (Mid 2011 or newer). Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer). MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer). MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer) The Apple remote is very limited to what it can do with a Mini. I have a windows 8.1 server PC. I want to use the Mac mini as an apple TV. So the Mac mini is connected to the TV and the movies, music and photo's are all shared to the Mac mini via Itunes like the apple TV. Is this possible? So basically it's a beefed up apple TV.

I want to convert my TV into a smart TV with an Internet browser and the ability to stream 3d movies which the apple TV is lacking. I would also like to go on the TV and do everything the apple TV can do plus the benefit of having the possibility of doing anything a Mac can do. OK I have never owned a MAC only Iphones and Apple TV's. So It might sound like a dumb question. Let me put it in another way. If I have multiple PC and Mac's all with Itunes on them on the same network will it share the library from the one to the other and stream content from each other without the files natively being on the device?

For that price it's worth a shot; if it has a slightly different PCI device ID, it can probably be made to work by adding its PCI ID to the plist, as that looks to have the right SCSI controller chip. (Possibly requiring some cable adapters to connect your devices.) Thanks - a bit over my head, but would this work?: LSI Logic LSI22320-HP Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA Card PCI-X Probably. Virtualbox lsi logic scsi drivers for mac. The G5 might work, I don't have a ton of experience expanding them. I wouldn't expect that PCI-X card to work in a Mac Pro.

So lets say I have a Mac mini (which I don't yet) and I have a home server PC (I have this with Windows 8.1 on it) now I connect the Mac Mini to my TV without the Apple TV. Let's say the Mac has no content on it it's straight out of the box. Can I go on the Mac and stream movies and music to the mac from the server (which has everything on it) and be able to watch the content on my TV? XBMC now called Kodi does support the built-in IR receiver on the Mac mini and also supports using an Apple Remote with it. Arguably the XBMC/Kodi user interface is already akin to an Apple TV for ease of use and there have been Apple TV styled 'skins' for XBMC. Plex was originally based on the XBMC code but has evolved significantly away from that since.

Plex in particular has a strong range of addons (called Channels) for supporting a wide variety of Internet media sources and I would say is much superior to XBMC/Kodi in this area. However XBMC/Kodi is superior in supporting full-blown DVD and Blu-Ray media. I therefore lean more towards Kodi. Apple Footer.
