I have already paid for Plex lifetime and Jellyfin doesn't run on TNAS (or at least my TNAS).

Thanks for the tip! Looking into it now that you recommended it. It looks like it is auto renaming files based on their existing names and not based on "fingerprint." How would this differ from FileBot? If I had a folder that I ripped to (local harddrive) would it watch it, rename and move it to the media server automatically (given I named the episodes appropriately)?

 

What software do you recommend to automate or assist organizing digital media?

My household has a lot of discs that I have been tasked with making available on the local network. Movies, TV shows, music, audio, and even photo negative scans. We live in an area that torrenting is not an option, but making copies of discs you own for personal use if legal. Also, many of these discs are not mainstream media.

I often see recommendations to use radarr or lidarr, but I assumed the "arr" means pirate and that's not what I'm looking to do.

Currently I am using a mix of MakeMKV, Handbrake, DVDFab, Filebot, and Plex. DVDFab is pretty good with movies, and Filebot is pretty good with TV shows, but it's still a lot of manual work and even still sometimes Plex grabs the wrong episode. I'm also underwhelmed with the way Filebot treats forced subtitles, and my overall ability to access and label special features off these discs.

I've run across a few software that will analyze music to identify it, is there anything similar for movies or TV shows?

I have about 30TB of media scanned in and compressed to HEVC or opus already with another few thousand discs to go. I'd be interested in options to backup/stream ISO's for movies, but only if I can delete the ads and other junk.

I'm currently using Windows 11 and TNAS, but I can setup my desktop to dual boot Linux if I need to. (Must retain Windows for work). I'd be open to something along the lines of Zappiti but all the links on their website are broken so I assume they are out of business.

The lower the number the better. That's pretty decent.

USPS has lost a dozen or so of my checks and packages but I have never had any of the hundreds of packages delivered stolen.

Except for people without cars and the walk to restaurants is dangerous. Except for invalids. Except for people who work at companies with rules about not leaving your post. Except for people quaranteening. Except for....except for....except for....

The city where I live has a higher col then the surrounding rural areas. Our living wage is $15.34 and poverty wage is $6.35 I don't have a report for the surrounding areas but my gut says somewhere around $10/$5.

In the US you have to get paid 1.5x for hours over 40. $30/2.5/1.5 = $8. And thats assuming no paycheck deductions such as tax, healthcare, alimony, etc

Thats $8/hr even. Pretty standard for retail jobs where I live.
