According to Plex, HDR support provides sharper video output, better performance, and improved subtitle support.
On iOS devices, the Plex update allows users to log in with either Face ID or Touch ID as an alternative to requiring a passcode for a locked Plex library.
Plex has added new TIDAL features as well, allowing Plex iOS and web app users to listen to 30 second clips from the TIDAL library for the purpose of searching for and sampling songs even without a TIDAL account. Artist TV, a feature for subscribers, is now also available on the web, Smart VS, the PS4, and the Plex Media Player.
Plex for iOS and Apple TV can be downloaded from the App Store for free. A Plex Pass is priced at $5 per month and unlocks extra features including HDR. [Direct Link]

I am pretty sure HDR does none of those things. It should improve color gamut, improve dynamic range, etc.According to Plex, HDR support provides sharper video output, better performance, and improved subtitle support.

That is true for live TV but, for those of us who use PLEX as a digital library, I imagine that it's totally dependent on how the video was ripped.How easy was it to set up your 2018 Mac Mini for the Infuse as the server?
Infuse isn't a server, it's just feeds from Plex library / wherever you point it at ie. hard drive etc, & all meta is then downloaded on device. It doesn't go on the mac mini, it is an :apple:TV / iOS app. Just download the app on iOS / :apple:TV, enter your Plex credentials and jobs's a good 'un!:)Do you have links to a guide that you followed on how you did it?
I heard Infuse plays better than Plex and it does not require much hardware unlike Plex, is this true based on your usage and your experience?
