Do you have a separate 4k library? (lemmy.ml)

A new TV offers the possibility to watch 4k movies to me. I am thinking about upgrading my library but I'm not sure if I want to replace my 1080 collection. I've read that some use a separate 4k library.

Do you? How do you deal with it? I mostly add movies with trakt and radarr automatically. Do you use separate accounts?

If you’re only watching on 1 TV, I don’t think there’s any reason to keep them a separate 4k library

The only problem is that Radarr doesn't support multiple copies/editions. You need to run two Radarr instances.

Why wouldn't you just have the 4k versions then? It's not like 1080p screens are making a comeback.

I have kids that like to stream on their own devices, and they're not all 4K. Saves my server from overworking itself by not having to transcode.

Ah, I tend to avoid transcoding. Browsers are pretty shit for codec support.

Yep, 100% the same. Hate it. It's no biggie for me, though - I'm really the only one who wants 4K content, and I only want it for the stuff that really matters to me.
