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.

      one of the learning curves on jellyfin is naming conventions. you have to read the documentation on it. if you don’t have the file named appropriately respective of the type of media, Jellyfin won’t know how to categorize it. I use renamer a lot for bulk renaming, and you can often rearrange the info in the file name pretty easily once you get a handle on how renamer works.
