Hi all,
I have been using an 2012 Mac Mini as my HTPC (with Plex) for over a year now which has been running perfect until recently.
The Mac is left always on, with no sleep or power mode enabled to allow quick and easy access when I wish to watch something on the Mac however recently (and occasionally) after switching the input on my TV the Mac requires me to enter my password despite me having setting my preference to "Never require password"
Automatic software updates are also set to off so I don't think the Mac has rebooted itself...?
Is there any setting I've missed?
My ideal scenario is an always on Mac which does not sleep and can be run solely through the remote (no passwords etc)
