Of course I'm running headless and the image I recommended is of course also headless. It's this here: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=376

Don't use the crappy OS images from Pine64 wiki! This is what happens after an hour or so. A screensaver starts to eat up all your CPU, increases consumption and also temperatures that much that even throttling has to jump in and cooler state reaches/exceeds 4!! This is RPi-Monitor output made with the crappy Xubuntu OS image from Pine64 wiki. Starting at 13:40 the screensaver is taking over!

Also keep in mind that the screensaver heating up the SoC and utilising the CPU cores prevents Plex from being able to fully utilize the CPU. You should disable the lightdm service or better throw this crap in the bin and use the original OS image from longsleep!

Regarding 64 bit: I doubt this would help that much without special optimizations (NEON for example or maybe also being able to use HW accelerated video encoding). But I would suspect this will be available for RPi's VideoCore VPU earlier than for A64. We'll see and still the 'one USB 2.0 connection to the outside' limits every RPi to be used as media center.
