4451 movies

398 series / 36130 episodes

Taking up 25.48tb after conversion to HEVC compressing it ~40%

Every series is monitored for new episodes which download automatically; and there’s a dozen or so public IMDB lists being monitored for new movies from studios/categories I like. Anything added to the lists gets downloaded automatically.

Then there’s Ombi gathering media requests from my friends/family to be passed to sonarr/radarr and downloaded.

At this point, the library continuously grows on its own, and I have to do little more than just tell it what I want to watch.

What’s your process for recoding? I’m nearing 120tb used space and would like to re-encode some of the stuff my *arr stack grabbed before I got my profiles tuned in.

onlinepersona ,

What’s your electricity bill like? That’s 0.12 pb. Monstrous in my opinion.

The majority of my stack as well as vehicles run off renewables / solar. So it’s hard to tell. May seem like some massive library but it has been accumulated over 25 or so years and is composed of a shit ton of physical rips from a pretty extensive library of everything from VHS and vinyl to uhd…

onlinepersona ,

Pretty cool that you’re able to use renewable energy. Do you know how much power it consumes? And do you have a backup power supply? Uninterrupted Power Supply I think it’s called.

Overall it’s (currently) a couple jbods plugged in to a NUC. Total draw is at 81W currently. That’s based off of a quick remote check on my UPS.

That’s a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro, Modem, Ubiquiti U7 Pro, 2 - 6 disc jbods running Seagate exos 20tb, and the NUC.

There’s a secondary drive array but it only powers on once a week for a few hours to run backups/differentials. Even under that load I don’t really spike above 100W.

Compared to the draw my old full rack with a couple loaded up r210’s has, this is incredibly efficient.

onlinepersona ,

That is incredibly efficient! Thanks for the info 🙂 I’ve wanted to be hoarder, but never thought I could afford it in the long run.

It must be pretty loud though, no? One would need a dedicated room for it, I image.

I keep everything in a 10u rack in my garage so it doesn’t bother us much. That said, when it was in my office being configured, it was quieter than my desktop running a 5900x and 3080.

By design, NUC’s are super quiet and the jbods I’m using are cooled with 2 140mm fans running at about 50% most of the time.

Worth noting, I’ve been a metal fan and musician most of my life so my sensitivity isn’t very high compared to a lot of others.

I used to use the built in convert options in Emby server, but recently switched to Tdarr to manage all my conversions. It’s got far more control/configurablity to encode your files exactly how you’d like.

It can also ‘health check’ files by transcoding them, but not saving the output; checking for errors during that process to ensure the file can actually be played through successfully. With 41k+ files to manage, that made it much easier to find and replace the dozen or so broken files I had, before I found them by trying to play them.

Fore warning; this is a long and intensive process. Converting my entire library to HEVC using an RTX 2080 took me over 2 months non-stop. (not including health checks)

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I have been running Plex for years and started the switch to Jellyfin last year. Have a container running Emby but haven’t put any work in to configuring or much yet.

Same situation with Tdarr. Threw together a quick container and got caught up in a billion other projects. I have an old 3600x / 1080ti system I’ll likely use as a transcoding node. Just need to go over the docs and figure out how to setup input / output paths.

Darkassassin07 ,
@Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca avatar

Configuring input/output paths are only really necessary when you have multiple systems that don’t see the media at the same paths. Such as a Linux server and a Windows node working together.

Honestly, I just wish I’d have known about and set it up sooner: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/505906a4-6b31-4393-aef7-8c116ef10371.jpeg

narc0tic_bird ,

These are some low bitrate movies. Mine is probably at least 10x that size but nowhere close 10x the content.

VitabytesDev OP ,

Yes, I have little bandwidth so I always download low bitrate ones.

AnEilifintChorcra ,

Around 16 TiB and I keep 3 copies of everything so 48 TiB used of around 65TiB. I encoded all my TV shows and most of my movies with AV1 and keep most of my files compressed, which saves a bunch of space so hopefully I won’t need more drives any time soon

I don't have one lol

I have an entire series of Breaking Bad and that alone is almost 100GB and 320GB+ of anime also another 200GB if you count games all store in an external 1TB hard drive and that’s puny compared to other people collection I saw online

@GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml avatar

I have about 24TB, lots of stuff backed up over many years, and not all of it pirated. In making backups over such a long period of time, I’ve actually managed to make redundant backups, so a recent project of mine is to just go to my NAS and organize, consolidate, and otherwise delete things I don’t actually wish to keep. I’ve saved a couple TBs and I hope to free up a few more TBs.

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

Rougly 3TB of TV shows (720p) and films (1080p, x265 at around 4mbps that I ripped myself including the subs and multiple language tracks), as well as about 500GB of music (FLAC) most of it from my physical library.

YourPrivatHater ,

3TB most of it from Kemono or anime piracy.

code ,

Thats about a few days worth of downloads for me. Over 150tb raw 80 tb used

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Damn…got a rack server full of drives?

Azzu ,

As big as whatever I’m consuming hasn’t been consumed yet or reached 3.0 ratio.

@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t keep any TV series after I watch them, unless someone else with access to my Jellyfin wants to watch too. So my collection is relatively small at a few terabytes.

GeekFTW ,

Round 30TB between music/tv/film/stand-up/books/comics/applications.

TheVelvetGentleman ,

I know somebody that just recently had to buy another drive for their 32TB unraid media server that runs in a DIY clean box in the basement. Is that small or large? I can’t imagine myself doing that much crime.

Reverendender ,

About 8.5TB of tv shows and movies.
