I am looking to basically just transition to a small time, forever on, server to support my growing Plex footprint. I don’t need anything top of the line, and I’ve already crimped my lines to the room.

What’s the most cost effective way to go about this? Figured i would come to the pros.

Thanks!

    I tried to move to Jellyfin…but it wasn’t capable of scanning my library… either too big or too many different video types…but it has never been able to complete.

    Quick google search says this is a known issue, so I abandoned it.

        Um… Refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me… ;-)

        Seriously though, I think when you add movies and TV shows together, close to 70TB? (All with disc backups of course)

        The introduction of UHD has caused the libraries to explode in size…

          Maybe try adding the files in 10 TB batches or something. My library is approaching that size, and no issues here. Could be tripping up on a specific file or something. I know Jellyfin can be a little particular about folder hierarchy and naming conventions, too.

      Google gets tons of stuff wrong now it has AI. Did you confirm it was a known issue listed on the Jellyfin support site?
