Plex is really cool. I might have to start playing around with it again.
My last experience with Kodi was a difficult, but pleasant experience. It came to my understanding that raspberry pi's can host OSMC as the OS itself, built on top of raspbian debian based ARM linux brand. It's sweeeeet, but you need to mess around with the voltages and cache files to get the proper experience. It's totally worth it, and quite the gratifying experience for the "problem solver".

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.
