Proposal: A defaulted-to setting that **allows Plex server to sleep according the computer’s power settings** instead of override the settings as it now does, keeping the system on 24/7. Sleeping systems would then be wakable via WoL magic packet that all Plex client apps would be capable of sending when requesting content access. Access would continue until media playback stops and the sleep timeout puts the server to sleep again.
