      Because Plex is a bitch and often doesnt play nice when you have different resolutions of the same movie/episode. So in order to keep things working properly (as in, only transcode when absolutely needed, or never) a lot of people have their 4K content in a separate library from the other stuff. And then they only share the 4K libraries with those users who are capable of directplaying it for example. This avoids a lot of issues. And as a result of that you also have separate 4K instances of Radarr/Sonarr so things dont get mixed up.

      Of course someone will comment “but it works perfect for me duh!”

        You’re right but I just want to mention for many this is unnecessary. If your userbase is small, especially when they’re all on the same network using modern devices with Findroid/Swiftfin/JMP they can easily direct stream 4K and in my personal case my GPU can handle multiple 4K transcodes so when it does have to do that it’s not a big deal.

    I’ve been using Plex for years. The client is available for almost any device, and it doesn’t require any media management, just download a TV or Movie into a directory and adds the metadata immediately. Like Netflix at home. You can also build public links for friends to view your library.

    What is you reasoning for multiple sonarr instances for different qualities? Not hating just curious.

      That’s exactly it. If I have it in 4K I like to have it in HD to save on the transcoding. It also gives an excuse for a second set of posters in Plex 😉

    How would you rate the setup difficulty for FreePBX? I’ve got an old Cisco Handset lying around here somewhere.
