they probably made a really good return before it shut down.

Part of the sentence was to forfeit $1million in profits, I'd say they did pretty well for themselves.

As long as you didn't want to send it whole...

Cheaper, but it's still not cheap and I really don't have a whole lot of disposable income rn.

Up until now, I've been using the convert tool in Emby server. You can select a whole library and convert it, or individual items/playlists/collections; with options to automatically convert new media as it's added.

Tbh, I've been having a bit of trouble with it re-converting media it's already done, so I was looking for another solution.

Someone in this thread mentioned tdarr, so I'm going to be looking into that this weekend. Seems like a much more manageable tool with more powerful options.

/edit; I should also mention, this is a long process. Using an rtx4080, it was almost 3 full months non-stop to convert my entire media library from mostly h264 -> h265.

Because the legal options are garbage.

The pirates provide a better service with more content for cheaper than the legal options; and pirating yourself takes effort as well as cost (hardware, trackers, usenet, etc).

Some people are happy to just pay for decent service; others like to learn about the process, then setup and run their own servers.

To each their own.

Tdarr: (Automatic transcoding of media, can help save you a lot of disk space)

That's a new one to me, I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

Been doing conversions via Emby, but it's not a very powerful tool for that.

Storage is expensive :/

That's already almost 36tb, after conversion to HEVC which compressed it ~40%

I wonder how that compares to my own collection...

I haven't found a source for the size of Netflix/Amazon/Hulus libraries; but I haven't looked all that hard either.

Ticketmaster will not respond to request to buy data from us.

No shit. Paying a ransom like this is pointless. You've already lost the data, and payment does nothing to guarantee it's not copied/released afterwards anyway.

Move on and put your focus on preventing it happening again.

Obligatory fuck ticketmaster, break up that monopoly already.
