Hey Plex Team,
Running Plex Media Server will not allow my screensaver to start OR my displays to turn off. While I understand running Plex Media Sever may stop the computer from sleeping, I would expect it not to prevent my screensaver and subsequently my display from sleeping.
I have only recently noticed this happening and as such, believe it may be a bug in recent versions.
What's the deal? Here's my pmset -g assertions
