    Plex is horrible at consumer privacy! Emby just a perfect solution especially for NAS.

    While Plex logging and collecting data, Emby won’t and then device can go into sleep mode perfect.

    This is equivalent to other media players (like VLC etc.) not to streaming media servers like Plex.
