In order:
FFMPEG, yes, no.
I refer you to this comment for more info.
I have seen a saving of 60-80% per file on lower resolutions like 720 or 1080, which makes the server time well worth it.
A folder of 26 files totaling 61GB went down to 10.5, for example.
There’s about 3.5 TB to go out of an actual 18 in the server.
I have another 2TB to install but it’s not in yet.
I’m also transcoding a lot of my media library to x265 to save space.
I don’t download for the sake of downloading, usually, and i delete stuff if I don’t see value in keeping it.
Yep, big ol’ case under my desk with some 20TB of storage space.
Most of what I host is piracy related 👀
Dude this is the most thorough explanation of a single command line I’ve ever had!
Thanks for the effort, and the line itself.
Not as far as i know, consider this my reminder, I guess? 😅
Do you maybe have the command line for it? Looking to do something similar myself.
And a partridge in a pear treeeee.
