    Oh ok so just a folder structure with a name badges on it. The total storage on the server is 37GB so every MB counts. I have about 60k tracks (6k albums, 2.5k artists) so even small reductions in file size will give me more headroom. Definitely going to explore the Phototranscoder folder as well. The total size of the folder is 20GB+, I’m sure there’s some images from when I used an iPad before left in there.

    Interesting. I know for certain albums I have at least 2 different images being proposed so some gains can be had there. The total drive space is 37GB so every MB counts at one point.

  • I run a Plex instance on a VPS with limited storage and recently the metadata folder has started spiralling out of control. I’d like to run a jpg optimiser on the artist pics, album cover art, movie posters etc. Unfortunately metadata is stored in an opaque .bundle format. Does anyone have any experience with this format and how to get to its contents?
