do I need to worry about transcoding??

#1
I need some help understanding if my particular use case needs to worry about Plex Hardware Transcoding and if I NEED to buy a NAS with Graphics Support on the CPU, or if I can get a NAS with a Ryzen in it. My name will primarily be a Plex server (I have Plex pass) that I'm going to use almost exclusively on my local home network. I would like to have the option to watch remotely on my phone or tablet, but I know I’ll rarely if (ever use) that feature. I do have a lot of HVEC/x265 files, but none of them are 4K. Most are 720, but I'm starting to download my files in 1080p, hence wanting to switch from a 4tb USB HDD to a NAS. Im relatively certain my current Roku smart tv can natively play HVEC/.265 via the Plex app but im not positive and i dont really understand how to check. Given that information, do you believe I need an intel CPU NAS, or would a Ryzen NAS work just fine for me?
