For Windows 10/11, this can be found under "Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional power settings > Change plan settings (for your current plan) > Change advanced power settings > Sleep > Allow wake timers".This is necessary for the computer to respond to the waker timers that Windows Task Scheduler will send (otherwise the tasks will fail to wake the computer).Windows Power Plan/Profile - The setting for "Allow wake timers" must be "Enabled".You only need the ".NET Core Runtime" installer (not the "SDK", "ASP.NET Core Runtime", or "Desktop Runtime").NET Runtime 6.0 ( download from Microsoft)

Plex Media Server for Windows ( download from Plex).

If you think there is something it should support, please let me know and I can try to investigate it. NOTE: At this time, it does not support any other Plex "advanced record options" (ie: Prefer HD, Replace lower resolution items, etc).

Support for custom Plex application data path.

Prints out upcoming scheduled recordings and Plex maintenance time.

Recognizes previously recorded TV shows and movies (as best as possible) so that it doesn't inadvertently wake the computer for something you already have recorded.

Recording start time offset is taken into account.

Supports custom wake actions to run when the computer wakes up.

Wakes up the computer before the next scheduled recording or Plex maintenance time.

Syncs with and/or monitors the Plex library database and schedules a wakeup task.

So, while this tools works fairly well, it clearly does not support all the advanced features built-in to Plex. I just used whatever data that I could find and interpret in the databases to identify TV shows and movies. I reverse engineered the Plex library and EPG databases in order to piece together enough functionality to be able to recognize scheduled recordings and previously recorded TV shows and movies (so that it doesn't wake the computer for no reason). It works by creating a Windows Task Scheduler task that can sync with and/or monitor the Plex library database and then schedule another task to wakeup the computer before the next scheduled recording.

Plex DVR Waker is a simple command-line tool for waking the computer before the next scheduled recording. Are you fed up with Plex's lack of functionality to wakeup your computer to record a show? C'mon, even a VCR from the '80s could do that.
