For for the sake of this tutorial we’ll pretend we have a new 2010 Mac Mini, all this machine requires is an HDMI cable to connect from the Mini to an HDMI port on your TV. This step is pretty straight forward, you just need to be sure you have the proper cables. Step 3) Connect your Mac Media Center to your TV Here’s a screenshot of the media browser interface: Plex will automatically pull your music library from iTunes too, so there’s practically no setup. Watch movies, TV shows, play music, whatever.Using your keyboard (or Apple Remote), navigate and select your Video source destination (directory, hard drive, whatever).

Let it sync with your Apple Remote (it may want to install 3rd party drivers as a bug fix, no problem).Drag the app to your Applications folder.

If there is an app that is easier to use and as full featured as Plex, I haven’t found it yet.

Plex is really great media center software that runs right on top of Mac OS X.

Step 2) Download and Install Plex Media Center Software Your cable requirements are going to vary from machine to machine, so determine which output adapter is needed for your Mac. The new 2010 Mac Mini supports direct HDMI output with no additional cables at all, so you’d only need an HDMI cable. For instance, my MacBook Pro 2010 model only needs a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable, because it supports full HDMI output. Newer Mac’s support full HDMI out with audio and video carried over the same cable, but on many models you’ll still need an adapter. So first things first, get your cable situation squared away. Step 1) Get the proper Video Output Adapters It’s got a beautiful interface, vast media support, and is free to download.

Plex – Plex is arguably the best media center software solution and runs right on top of Mac OS X as an application.
