How big is your media library? - Twunio

Background: I’ve been writing a new media server like Jellyfin or Plex, and I’m thinking about releasing it as an OSS project. It’s working really well for me already, so I’ve started polishing up the install process, writing getting started docs, stuff like that. I’m interested in how other folks have set up their media libraries. Especially the technical details around how files are encoded and organized. My media library currently has about 1,100 movies and just shy of 200 TV shows. I’ve encoded everything as high quality AV1 video with Opus audio, in a WebM container. Subtitles and chapters are in a separate WebVTT file alongside the video. The whole thing is currently about 9TB. With few exceptions, I sourced everything directly from Blu-ray or DVD using MakeMKV. It’s organized pretty close to how Jellyfin wants it. What about you?

1,152 - Movies 552 - Shows 37, 062 - Episodes 491 - Albums 6,558 - Songs 362 - Music Videos 14 - Concert Films

Files are a mix of 1080p and 4K. 264 and 265. Standard and REMUX.

Total space used is currently 149.90TiB

Ahh, I like how you split Concert Films and Music Videos. I’ve been pigeon-holing my Short Films, Mini-Series, and TV Movies into just the two categories: Shows and Movies. Makes way more sense having separate categories.
