    Was the conversion easy? Could you keep your watchlist and whatnot?

    I have… a lot of data.

      Option 1: Sync to trakt, then backsync to jellyfin
      Option 2: Use something like yamtrack to track it externally
      Yamtrack can ingest plex and jellyfin. Just no backsync :/

      Um honestly I didn’t even try to port shit, I’ve only got about 12 TB of stuff anyways so it was easier to just start fresh

            Uhmmm so, yeah. It’s… a significant investment. Let’s say, I look for HDD sales constantly and I’m eating less these days to feed my habit.

            For the curious, I run on Synology hardware. Most of the drives are 20-24TB each.

            I have their 12 bay sever with two 12 expansions (36 total) and then another 8 bay server with two 5 expansions.

            I started with the 8, and when I quickly hit 18 total drives with redundancy… I realized this was going to be a lot more than I had initially planned for.

            These are also direct disc rips. No downloads. That’s actual discs in hand, ripping, saving, typing. It’s mostly from my amazing city library, the local video store, borrowing, and then the rest are purchases.

            And I’ll answer the next question, dual income no kids… and my partner shares my interest (or at least benefits!). They always know what to get me for a present.

              I’d suggest Handbrake, to at least re-encode those rips. IME file sizes can be reduced anywhere from 20-50% compared to direct disc rips.

                I do use handbrake. I should have been more specific. I just mean’t to say that it’s not like a bunch of low quality Pirate Bay downloads. That actual discs were used. So many discs. So many that I actually have a pile of dead readers because I used them to death.
