> This has probably been asked before, but I would like to ask for Plex Server to sleep and wake up including the ability to do this for DVR recordings. It would wake on request from any app and sleep again after a time when not in use. The sleep could be done by the operating system. This would mean that a process in Plex would need to be present for Windows (or other) to notice and stay awake - not currently possible when recording live TV. This would save power and money.
