This is an issue of the past for me since I started using Real Debrid with Kodi and Stremio.
I have a good backup amount in 1080p in Plex (physical and debrid symlinks), but when I want to experience 4K films properly I head up to Stremio or Kodi.
You’re not going to like this, but I have been encoding my own B-tier collection in 1080p at roughly BluRay quality with HDR & Uncompressed audio. A-Tier movies stay 4K Remux, but the B-squad gets the downgrade (but I’m not willing to give up HDR / Atmos)
Ew! 1080p
Yeah, that’s, like, incredibly wasteful. 720p is fine.
Where are the 540p ripcorders at?Don’t talk to me and my 4K collection ever again!
But 4k takes so much storage😭
Yeah. 4 times the resolution, 10 times the size.
Easy, buy more HDDs :D
I just bought 2x 20 TB Red pros… their at half capacity right now. I do not have that kind of money (or NAS) to do that every month😅
Lol, are they mirrored or did you actually pull 20TB in a month?
Mirrored, but still😅

Yeah, I’m counting on 1080 upscale improving.

Yeah, usually you don’t really notice a huge difference betwen FHD and 4K, especially with TV upscaling it anyway
I love that we can reencoding the 4k HDR to 1080 while we retain the HDR color information. Looks great to me while saving a ton of space.
