Server Version#: ASUSTOR AS5402T  
Player Version#:  
\<If providing [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) should be enabled\>  
Plex is constantly running. Around the clock. Already turned off all scanners. NAS cannot go into sleep mode, the disks are constantly running. I’ve read the entire forum and still don’t have the information I need.  
Question 2. I see in the logs that PLEX is trying to see when smart TVs are turned on, and also records this in the logs. Why is he doing this? This probably also prevents the plex server from sleeping?
