Media Library Inquiry / Plex Poll

[Axeonelite]

I am new to the whole, home media library thing and was just curious to see how the people of Linus Tech are with their own media. Feel free to share any stories / tips below.

Any chance you could change the [third] question to a "please choose two"?

Total of about 6TB on my NAS. Biggest space hog is a bunch of 1080p Anime, some of which is Coalgirls, so massively oversized files for a few of my favourite series. 

 

I use Plex as the media delivery/streaming platform for the most part.

The question about the quality?  Sure I guess

Sorry, meant the third. My library is mostly taken by anime and movies.

WOW!  That's a lot of anime. I just crested the 1 TB mark myself. (But I have only been at this for 3 days.) TV shows take up the most for me, then anime, and movies.

Slightly off topic but as a plex user do you have a problem with the media server programs closing randomly? I can't find any cause of why mine does it but it just closes itself at random points. Could be a few hours between could be a few minutes.

Nope, mine's been solid, running 24/7 for a good month straight at this point. Plex runs in a jail on my FreeNAS server (using the Absolute Series Scanner and HamaTV agent for anime BTW) and my main client device running Plex is a Roku 3. I tend not to use Plex on my desktop or laptop as I find it quicker to just browse the files in the share rather than go thought the Plex app.

You can try BABS scanner and MAL agent as well, but I find Absolute Series Scanner and HamaTV work best for me, though I do have to match a couple of series manually.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Can you add an other option or options related to audio quality in the 2nd section (lossless/around 320KBPS/around 160 KBPS)? My library only contains music.
