There are versions of Plex designed specifically to run on Pi's (usually the 3s)
I ran one for awhile when they first came out but simply didnt have the horsepower to maintain 3 or 4 1080p streams, especially if they needed transcoding.
I run 2 servers now, a NAS lowered powered one and a high end laptop for when I really want to push content lol

Nice! I am very interested in building and running servers. Does Plex for Pi run on top of raspbian? I didn't know there was a standalone OS for Plex. That's pretty sweet.
I own a Pi 3, and running OSMC was work. I wasn't able to get passed 720p for smooth play. I came real close with 1080p, but it just wasn't happening.
