MODERATORS
 

Hoping to set up a general location to throw files.

It might be used as a storage dump for Plex too..

Recommendations?

Edit: the synology recommendations have won out. Went with the DS923+. Thanks for all of the thoughtful recommendations!

Seconding this because my current NAS is dying and I'd like to relocate my LEGITIMATELY OBTAINED MEDIA COLLECTION somewhere else.

Plex seems cool but last time I tried it I couldn't get it to categorize my non-english movies and shows correctly.

I haven't explored Jellyfin's categorization, but could that be an alternative? It's FOSS

Their metadata provider system by default only has The Movie Database (TMDb) and Open Media Database (OMDb) but they got plugins for more:

I've had some heartache with Plex's categorization system too, on English language content nonetheless..

I cant imagine the pain of making it work for foreign content.
