new mini on the way .... anything i need to know before it gets here?

[itsjustmeee]

I'm getting rid of my late '09 mini and replacing it with the latest model. I got tired of dealing with the mini display port to HDMI adaptor and digital audio to toslink being separate and finding ways to get both the audio and video going through HDMI. I use Plex exclusively and never even deal with playing iTunes content. Everything is MKV (using MakeMKV) and M4v (using Handbrake on the high profile setting). I'm assuming all will be well when I tell the new mini to send the 5.1 out through HDMI. Is there anything else I need to have installed or will I be good to go.

Thanks.

What you need to know is that this is the Apple TV thread, not the Mac mini thread.

No, it's actually the "Apple TV and Home Theater" thread.
