apple6666 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I installed mavericks on my 2007 mac mini via SFOTT. I am having audio & video issues. After googling a bit I was directed to download drivers from this link in order to solve my problems. https://www.file-upload.net/download-8358440/mac-mini-mavericks.7z.html The problems is that link has gone dead. can anyone provide me a link to this driver? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaLd0n Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think they've finally given up with Sierra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple6666 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Do you think 10.6.8 is the best OS for 2007 mac or 10.7.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple6666 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Amazon video is a bit wonky on Lion. I was wondering if I downgraded to 10.6.8, the full graphic acceleration will help me with better Amazon video playback on chrome browser. The reason I was performing these gymnastics with Mavericks was kodi v17 requires 10.8 and chrome browser requires 10.9 I guess I'll stay at 10.7.5 and hope these two apps will work in the near future.

apple6666 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Despite my gripes, the 2007 mac mini works fine as a kodi player with plex plugin & a year old plex server. It plays 720p just fine. Since I have a 24" TV, 1080p would be useless to me. Playing amazon video is a pain on chrome which is why I dual boot with Windows 7 to be able to play Amazon video on the latest chrome browser. Buying a Mac mini just to serve as a media centre is a bit overkill, IMO. When kodi becomes unusable on this machine, I'll either buy a roku/fire stick or a cheap used Mac mini to play kodi/Plex & amazon/Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
