I have a NAS with 2.2GHz quad-core, 8GB RAM running plex.

So far my record was 7 simultaneous remote streams (I think 2 were transcodes, the rest direct play), which it handled fine. And going by CPU usage, it should be able to handle 5 transcoding sessions (1080p max) at once.

Though, I usually run into bandwidth limits before I run into CPU limits (hopefully I’ll get fibre this year).

Yeah, I have 31 remote users (though less then 10 are actually active). If you’re running a server setup to the point of supporting that, the plex lifetime pass is just a piss in the wind.

But the lemmy FOSS crowd is strong, we’re severely outnumbered here :D

OP probably doesn’t have a plex pass.

Unless therer was some major update in the last 6 months I’ve missed, I’d say no … not even close.
