Looking to offload Plex from my gaming PC (lemmy.world)

I am looking to basically just transition to a small time, forever on, server to support my growing Plex footprint. I don't need anything top of the line, and I've already crimped my lines to the room.

What's the most cost effective way to go about this? Figured i would come to the pros.

Thanks!

I would never be doing that, so I'm sold on it then. It's basically just my backup movie/TV hub for my LAN.

    Definitely suggested then, you're also going to get drastically more features. If you remember a time when Plex plugins were available - its that. And more flexible.

    Any intel-based chipset past 6th gen or so will be ok, 7+ recommended, 10th+ for AV1. If you aren't doing any transcoding, just about anything will work include a pi.
