I'm fine with the basics of Plex - now what can I do to really use plex to it's full potential?
With Tautulli you have a better monitoring system than what Plex offers. Streaming history split by user, you can add notifications to a lot of services like Slack, email and so on. You can even create newsletters being sent out to users based on what was added to your server.

My Overkill Home Network – Complete Details 2023
> How hard is this to configure?
Not at all. Just ensure that you have WoL enabled on the host machine and than proceed to send a magic packet. You could even do this with Home Assistant [1] if you are into that. I did this with a script that used tcpdump to monitor for incoming traffic [2] for Plex with an additional (dummy) Plex server on the Pi. I also remember faintly that I had to add 1 library and 1 video file to make this work though.
Powering down - or sleep - is a bit harder. I built a 'Sleep on LAN' app [3] for myself years ago that could power down (or sleep) a system on demand using a REST API. I used this and Tautulli [3] with Home Assistant that would check if there were any active streams and if there wasn't any activity for a specified amount of time I would send a SoL request to my service.
As you can see it isn't super hard or complicated, but a bit cumbersome to find all the moving bits and make it work. But when it does, it's IMHO fantastic.

Can I copy the metadata from one show to another?
In that case then I don't think there will be an easy way to transfer the metadata unfortunately (outside of some user-created script). One option that would at least help with the manual re-entry would be to use Tautulli's export feature or WebTools-NG's ExportTools to create a spreadsheet that has all the information in one place, and should be easier to copy/paste.

Plex GPU transcoding on unRaid
Also, take a look at Tautulli, tautulli.com. Its dashboard has more info than Plex. It shows transcode speed (1.0 = real time) and if subtitles are burning/transcoding/etc.
-
Best programs to use alongside Plex?
Tautulli for monitoring and notifications, plus some scripts for "maintenance," such as killing 4K transcodes and stopping remote streams after they've been paused for X minutes. These are from the JBOPS repository.
-
Plex health check
Tautulli. There's a feature where you can trigger notifications from events on your server, not just when it's down. I'm not sure there's a function to get your server to auto restart though.
-
Why is it transcoding to SDR ?
Looks like Tautulli's mobile companion app.
-
Import Spreadsheet of Metadata
The data Tautulli exports is great if you want to throw it in Excel to analyze your library, or as a backup of all the content you have on your server, but isn't really meant to be imported at a later date (the exporter guide. You should instead follow the Move an Install to Another System guide to move your server data to a new machine.

Plexporters, Energize: How we monitor Plex with Grafana
If this could replace the semi-stale project called Varken, I’d be soo happy https://github.com/Boerderij/Varken

Grafana Dashboard for my current instance of Home Prod
The Dashboard consists of: Varken for aggregating data from the Plex ecosystem into InfluxDB using Grafana for a frontend. OPNsense capturing with the help of Telegraf plugin. Adguard Home monitoring utilizing a custom exporter named Adguard_Exporter for prometheus. UniFi agregating with UnPoller. For TrueNAS Scale, I installed the community catalog for installing Kube Apps, this allowed me to installed Prometheus and use the node-exporter provided on this dashboard. Proxmox metrics server provided here.

Complete Noob, need some help please?
To monitor plex, I use Varken connected to Tautulli and Ombi. Data are pushed into InfluxDB and then you can create some cool realtime dashboard.
- Sonarr data into Grafana?
- Got inspired by the recent dashboard posts so I redesigned my server's dashboard hub. Hope you like it!

Plex Grafana Dashboard
Not to take away from your dashboard, but varken is worth a look. It's a little outdated but still works great.

Made myself a Plex Dashboard!
I used Varken as well, but since I have a unifi setup I used UnPoller to get stats from my network, also set up snmp and ping tests using telegraf. I'm still tweaking things myself but love what you have already done :)
-
Made this little monitor for my plex/unraid dashboard.
You can also use Varken to put it into Grafana
- At the beach, but Plex is down and I’ll be toast if it’s not up when we get home later
