I have personally not found it reliable enough to function as my main front end though, so I primarily use JRiver's Media Center. I disciplined myself with the mantra, 'if you watch it, you rip it.' To date I have about 400 ripped and probably a couple of 100 that have yet to make the cut.ĭave U recommends Kodi and I do use it. The rest were ripped only when I felt the need to watch them. In my initial pass, I only ripped the titles I found myself watching over and over again. I took a systematic approach when it came to ripping. In other words, you'll need a lot more storage. My library is about the same size as yours but yours is heavy on Blu Ray while mine is the opposite. The rewards are great but the time investment and frustration factors can be high, especially in the beginning. I've run HTPC solutions for over 10 years and can't see ever doing it differently.

Here's a nice guide on how to rip your discs: ĭave F. You can then use a tool like Handbrake to turn each into a single playable file, or use an easy all-in one tool like MakeMKV, which I strongly recommend. Once you get this all set up, you just need to start ripping your Blu-rays to the NAS using a tool like AnyDVD HD. Total cost for NUC front-end box: ~$700 for PC or $200 for shield TV. Total cost to get a NAS up and running: ~$2000 (QNAP) or ~$1500 (Synology)

If you want a cheaper option for Kodi, an Android Kodi box can work, but will suffer a little bit of performance issues in comparison to a PC, so I recommend the NVIDIA ShieldTV as a backup option. You'll also need to buy a hard drive and some memory as well as a copy of Windows 10. I generally recommend Kodi, which will run on most PC's, but one of the best options is an Intel NUC like this running Windows, as Linux versions can be a little finnicky. Once you've done that, you need a front end to play back your media. If you want to go smaller, you certainly can but don't cheap out at this stage, as it's a pain to replace drives later. I would go with 4 of these drives, as after raid you will end up with at least 20TB usable. For your collection size, if you don't want to compress anyting to save space you will need approximately 15TB. On the cheaper (but not as fast) side is a Synology unit like this. I strongly recommend going with QNAP, something like this unit here as this is a future proof investment. This is a network attached storage device that acts like a big file share on your network.

I also use subtitles sites (generally ) to verify forced tracks or not for every movie when I rip it so I know if MakeMKV pulled what it was supposed to or not.First things first, you will need a NAS. Now I'm very meticulous now when I rip with how they're flagged to make sure I don't have any problems and the forced track is the only one I keep (marked forced+default). I had to rerip a lot of my movies with MakeMKV about 3 years ago after going through the same issue you're going through now but it was across all the media players I was using I could never get them to display the subtitles I wanted. See this thread here for some more information: Ĭan you post the mediainfo for a file you have that works like you're describing in other apps but not MrMC? I'd be interested to see what they look like.

There's also very few discs that work the way you're describing and most movies have a full subtitle track with just the forced subtitles. The spec is just for the whole track to be marked as forced. There's no way in the Matroska spec (that I know of) to have a subtitle track with just certain parts of that track marked as forced.
