Over the last 2 years I've bought over 1300 DVDs (and blue rays) and over 600 CD's.

I've also got loads of retro games (from atari 2600 up to ps4) on cartridge and CD.

I want to own my own medi., I've seen too many examples of things being edited, censored or banned, and I want to have the original.

Plus, I don't have to deal with adverts, reduced quality, lack of internet or monthly charges. Most of the films and music I got came from charity shops for virtually free (some shops do 5 or 10 dvds for the equivalent of $1.

Most people think I'm insane :) but they can go do face scans to listen to their favorite metal album on Spotify, I'll carry on doing my thing :)

Not bad but I prefer my system.

4x 16Tb HDD connected to a rpi downloading from various private BitTorrent trackers and this being shared without limit through aMule/eMule for those who can't access those private trackers.

When I am away from home I access all this content using Jellyfin and also give access to family and friends.

I am doing this for several years now....

It is surprising how many simultaneous users this rpi+jellyfin system can support.

The video is 1080p and I usually use x265/264 or AV1 if available.

I would love to have that too if I'm honest :)

I always think “it's easy” but then I realize that everything is easy when you have some knowledge...

Even so I believe that having this is not difficult, if you want I can help you in everything you need to have a similar system.

Here are a couple of pictures of my super cheap but functional system.

Interesting, you had me at "super cheap", i'll go investigate 😃

To be honest 16Tb HDD's are not cheap, the rpi4 is.

You can start with 8Tb and add as you need more space.
