Any plex users here ?

Jellyfin server fully up and running next to Plex.

I just think it's smart to run both just incase Plex decides to get stupid.

Im thinking about starting a 4k library again , i did this last year but then deleted them
ill just get my favorite movies in 4k , and not let friends see this folder in plex
4k movies 4-6GB in size
ill still keep the 1080p for everyone

after making this post i went on a 4k download spree, i now have 195 4k movies in plex ,
all of them are under 5gb except for a few like avatar and interstellar, my 4k folder size is at 650GB
im not a big baller shot caller like xplosive and big tex with 50gb files
sinners in 4k is 3GB and looks great to my old eyes , so im going to keep getting the movies i like in small 4k
im still keeping the 1080p x265 files for the remote streamers to my servers for now

Yeah, cause other companies are coming in with fiber connections! I already have a No Limit connection. Are they gonna lower my price?

There’s an encode group people really like “QxR” that upload 1080p 5-10GB
and 4k 15-25GB

To the 60gb 4k downloaders I’m curious if we do a blind test will you be able to tell the difference between a 20gb 4k and a 60gb 4k

My UHD Bluraay rips are like 60-80GB each

Same here bruh.
Cats think I'm crazy getting these big-ass rips but I got a 120" projector screen, 4K Epson projector, and 11.2 speaker setup in my theater I gotta feed, lol.

Already copped when it dropped, but good looking out.

Yeah they are bleeding customers with more fiber rolling out at cheaper prices so they are losing their monopoly. I couldn't WAIT to ditch them when ATT rolled that fiber to my block. And I'd been with them almost 30yrs. Service had gotten crappy, bill went up every year, and the data cap was the last straw.

I can tell the difference on my 120" projector screen, but I find the biggest improvement is actually the audio rather than the picture quality.

If you plan to get a das or Nas enclosure,don’t make the mistake I did And get a 2 bay
Get 5/6/8 bay from the start

How I plan to use this bay das for plex

2 bays
2 18tb drives just for movies
One will back up the other
I think my total movie folder is 11tb right now

2 bays
2 8tb drives just for tv shows
Again one drive will backup the other
My total tv show folder is 3tb right now
I don’t have the 8tb drives right now
I will wait for Black Friday deals

Last 5th bay I will use for macOS Time Machine back ups to a 1tb 2.5 SSD I use for that


And I will do the media backups with a program I have called carbon copy cloner
It does the back up every night at what ever time I set it to
