I understand about reencoding and I’ve gotten a lot of flak about that from a lot of people but as I mentioned above it’s more of a space issue with me also. I appreciate the mention of groups to look to as that helps much. Thanks for your input!
Thank you for the input! I’m unsure what aq-mode is but I’m sure it’s somewhere in FastFlix. There’s tons of settings in it that I need to look over. The default CRF for HEVC in that program is 22 and I don’t know if I should go higher, lower or what but I appreciate your insight.

I started with Emby as Jellyfin seemed a little bit daunting to me. I’ve already got qBittorent setup. Thank you for your input!
Thank you! I don’t use Linux but I will try to map it into a Windows version. It looks very comprehensive and like it covers all the bases I want. Appreciate it.
I’ve really just needed to know how to start with the basics and grow from there IF I wanted to not because I thought I HAD to which I did. Now you’ve clarified that it’s really not a necessity that is a load off my mind. Yeah, I’m probably gonna segment my videos a little more than usual as so many of my shows are Anime or Toku that have season after season of shows but I get what you are trying to say. Thank you so much for your input!
Hey, thanks for all the info especially which files to backup for Jellyfin in case of data loss. That will save me a big headache. Not using Linux, gonna be Windows for me as that’s what my desktop is. Docker is probably a good ways down the road. I need to get Jellyfin just right and add all the plug-ins I might want plus get Sonarr, etc. setup also but thanks for all the information. Appreciate it!
Wow, thanks for the incredible amount of information! I really appreciate it. It seems like everyone does something different and it gets to be a headache trying to find the way easiest for me. Yeah, I get what you’re saying about Anime and Toku which is a LOT of what I’m downloading. It’s a real pain, believe me. Plus, I DO want to seed as the torrent’s themselves are like 1.5Tb (seriously) and I don’t have the storage to make a copy of the data and rename. Anyway, again thanks for the input. Wish me luck!
I don’t have all the *arrs setup. I’m lucky to have gotten Jellyfin setup and working correctly. LOL But, I’ve heard of other people doing some type of *arr backup so if they lose their video, they just go back into the *arrs and do something to get everything downloading again. It’s all a bit over my head.
I’m not really worried as much about the cloud right now as just finding some good hardware to store the data on and cloud comes as last step. Many people seem to endorse BackBlaze’s yearly PC plan so I guess I need to take a look there.
Yup, that’s what I’ve heard. Don’t ever buy more than 1 HDD at the same time from the same place at the same time as you could multiple bad HDDs if there happens to be a “bad batch” so I hear ya’ there. Thanks for the input!
Wow, what an invaluable piece of information. Yes, this will DEFINITELY help cut through the “drive shopping” Thanks for sharing this information!
Wow, thanks for all the insight. I’ve just got to find a good JBOD chassis and then figure out what disk drives to use. I’m really not literate when it comes to RAID. I’d just prefer to use my Sync software to backup to the individual drives and then store one offsite as part of a 3-2-1 plan.
I’ve heard of BackBlaze and I think I looked into it at one point. I just keep seeing bad reviews on just about all the Cloud services with people saying they can’t get access to their data or there is data loss but I will give it a look again.
I appreciate the good wishes and you better believe, I’m a “hoarder”. It only took ONCE to lose everything and now I want like 10 complete backups of everything. LMAO. 😜 Best to you!
Sorry, RD???
Thank you for the input and reference material. I’ll give it a look-through and appreciate your time.
