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.

Playlists need to be improved.
Oh shit! I never even bothered to look because I asked a long time ago and was given and emphatic no. It looks like there is a playlist class. So I'll have to play with that and see what it can do.

Automating Plexamp: Play a random album from a collection (details in a comment)
I wanted a way to pick a random album from a collection and tell the Plexamp client connected to my speakers to play it. I wrote a detailed post about a simple way and a fancy way to do this using the unofficial Python Plex library.

Is there a scan feature like the way car radios work?
There's no in the box option for that, but you can easily make something that can do it with things like the python plex api. Get random movie, send play command with offset for some random point. Sleep some random amount of time. Send a stop command and repeat the previous steps.

Plex playlist content to watchlist in bulk
You should look into the python PlexAPI wrapper library. Here is an equivalent script using PlexAPI.

Network activity keeps PC Awake
I am not sure if there is an official way most people do this, but I think the best bet would be to use data directly from plex - https://python-plexapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/server.html#plexapi.server.PlexServer.sessions to loop through every so often and get a list of current sessions (currently playing media). Once that goes empty start a timer for shutdown. If a session starts again end the shutdown, you could even look at to see if something is "paused" and have a different shutdown time for paused vs nothing playing if you really wanted.
