Does the transaction take place on the Apple TV machine itself? Plex also released a client for the Apple TV, but you need powerful, separate, hardware to transcode before sending it over to the Apple TV. How does MrMC or Kodi handle this? Is the new Apple TV powerful enough to transcode itself?

Plex seems like a 90's tool that they're still holding on to.
Who needs transcoding nowadays....
Plex doesn't need always transcode. I have direct play without issues.
Regarding who needs transcoding, I find this option quite good for example when I'm in a hotel and I need to adapt the quality to the bandwidth. It makes all I need in a fancy way.
What makes a no sense in Plex is that it needs to transcode if you are using subtitles. As far as I know, the team is working on it.
In addition, Infuse is going to be released soon too. It needs to be taken in consideration.
I don't expect any boom until full Kodi can be sideloaded honestly, being Plex a really solid option nowadays for me. It all depends on your needs.
