MyTheater 1 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi, Do you have any estimated time for Emby server M1 Support ? We wouldlike to order dedicated mac only for this for my friends and myself but don't want order it if not fully optimized. and less important but will you propose emby client app in Mac AppStore with Siri integration for search and indexing result in macOS ? Maybe widget with "what's next ?", "continue this program" or maybe "futur recording" just to give quick info without opening app. Have a good day.

Luke 37009 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi there, yes Emby Server already supports running on an m1 mac. We already have a client in the app store: https://emby.media/emby-theater-macos.html We have basic Siri support and are adding to it with each new update to the macOS app. For widgets, yes, I think that would be a great idea for us to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we'll be playing with that once it is available and stable. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am migrating my emby server over to a M1 mac mini & will leave the files over on my windows server. I really like the responsiveness of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
高飞 0 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 hi,In have M1Macmini,When M1 macmini is used as an emby server server, it is unstable, and the server will be lost in a few hours. It needs to shut down the process repeatedly and restart. At present, it does not support GPU hardware accelerated encoding and decoding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escalinci 0 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Emby works great on my M1 mac (but I'm not doing anything terribly complicated with it, just streaming stuff to my LG tv without any re-encoding going on). However, as with anything that's left running in the background, an apple silicon binary would be very nice, to use fewer system resources.

kmeyerson 0 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Would you say this is stable enough for a 2 - user house hold? We do not stream THAT often, but its running on a 24/7 home server. I currently use a QNAP and can't really justify the power draw when an external disk and M1 Mini would do. What specs is your Mini?

Hi, yes, for a two user household it will be more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37009 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The new .NET Core 6.0 allows apps to be built to the native m1 architecture. Emby Server 4.7 has updated to .NET Core 6.0, so we'll try to look at this for the 4.7 release. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill LeDuc 5 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The original question for this topic was: "Do you have any estimated time for Emby server M1 Support ? We would like to order dedicated mac only for this for my friends and myself but don't want order it if not fully optimized." You are dependent on .Net 6 with support for Apple silicon to fully optimize Emby. I'm not talking about support for Rosetta 2, but native support. I'm considering using a MacMini with a M1 processor to run Emby server. I would like to see Emby server running natively on M1 before I do that. .Net 6 with native support for M1 is now available. Do you have an idea when Emby server will support Mi natively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppogorze 4 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 @bretswinneyI see that 4.7 pre-release (with .Net 6 and many improvements) was released, but not for macOS (x64 or arm64) unfortunately. @LukeAny release date? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppogorze 4 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 One more thing... about EmbyServer arm64 release. Will it include ffmpeg 5.0 compiled for arm with NEON patches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko 61 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 So, anyone having a Mac mini m1 might have the ability and kindness to share the transcoding capabilities ? What does it take to put the M1 to his knees ? I'm currently in the process of switching my server to something using less watts but I'm not sure the M1 is the perfect match as I don't see any tone mapping done in hardware, am I right ?

ppogorze 4 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi @nSGecko. Emby @ Mac mini M1: 4k HDR H265 to 1080p w/tone mapping = 55fps so 2 transcodes. 1080p H264 30mbit to 5mbit = 250fps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in seeing what the Apple "M" series APU is capable of for transcoding support. Mac Mini might end up being one a hell of media server.

MyTheater 1 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Ok now i'm sure, Mac Studio with M1 ULTRA will be the best server for my Emby. I hope so will be fully optimized for Apple Silicon architecture from "end to end". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
