Low TDP CPU for a plex media server

[Double07]

Anyone have any recommendations on a low TDP CPU for a PMS that I am going to put together so that I don't have to leave my main PC on all the time?

It only really needs to stream 1 or 2 1080p streams and shouldn't need transcoding, other than on rare occasions so let's just ignore that. Obviously doesn't have to be overly powerful but if it's on 24/7 just want something that is reasonably low TDP without going for a NUC, NAS, or the like.

Not tied to any particular sockets, etc as I am just putting together options right now but wondered if anyone had any specific recommendations from personal experience.

Cheers

The Athlon 200GE only has a 35W TDP - it is 2C/4T.
