Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family
TK420@lemmy.world 1 year agoThanks. Remember, Plex is for YOUR media, so you know, I feel ripping is part of the basics of getting things setup and going.
As a note to other readers: I still rip everything manually because something at some point breaks an automated process and it has to be done manually anyway….so I just do it all manually these days. Takes less time, and when I have done my library over again (a few times) I still did it all manually.

What quality/format do you rip to?
TK420@lemmy.world 1 year ago
CDs are ripped bit for bit into wav files
DVDs have subtitles retained but I don’t compress after MakeMKV.
BDs have subtitles retained but then I run through handbrake and do h265 compression, keep it all as mkv files.

Good stuff!
I see, so you just store the CDs raw? Are you like an audiophile with super equipment and all that? 🙂
And you listen (only?) from Plex on all your devices, or no?

Yeah I store the CDs raw. I have enough storage on my phone that I can load up from PlexAmp. I do a lot of offline listening so I love the download options and I usually stream my whole library from my server over WiFi.
I have a good amount of video downloaded in the main Plex app, workout vids, a few movies and whatever series I’m watching. All works out pretty well.
