Sweet, gonna try this out! How much time would it take to insert / configure 1500 films?

That depends: Are your files already all or mostly in MP4? Then you just need to search for the posters and add them. One movie takes less than 30 seconds when you know what you are doing. if you still need to convert tons of movies, well, that will take much much longer.

Most of these files are in .mp4 and .mkv format. Luckily they're already labeled nicely!

I just tested Kodi and I must say for somebody who hasn't done any effort before this is ideal. It will do all the work for you. Sadly it only works within Kodi but it has many skins to create nice libraries. I guess I have to do another post about it. ;)

I remember to have tested Kodi as well. But I didn't like it because it was more made for TV and doesn't work well for very large libraries at least that was how I felt about it. Also the automatic thumbnails were often not what I wanted. But that was three years ago. Maybe I should give it another try. What do you like about it?

convience. i grab torrents, stick them on a 3tb drive, it auto scans for cover art, simple, fast, addons for twitch so i can watch my fav streamers. makes everything simple.

Yeah, I tested it now. Looks 100% different to 3 years ago. Kind of depressing that I spend two years for my library every single day and now Kodi does that in 10 minutes. However, I don't like Kodi since it is made for TV and not for PC's. I prefer a proper file browser and files that always look the same and not just with one program. And how do I close Kodi? I always have to do alt+F4 and force it to close.

ah you run on pc, i don't do that. i have a raspberry pi 3 connected to a dedicated screen seperate connected via gigabit internet to my main machine and a 3tb networked drive. it's all super easy ftp sends across the network and then it auto searches. it's simple. no messing, i just plugin and turn on and off as i need it -- i do all the file browsing via ftp.

But how do you browse your files then? What program? If you still use Kodi for that then there is no difference to where you store the files and how you receive them if you still look at them the same way.

so i have a 3tb drive with all my movies and music on, it's all organized via ftp from my desktop machine on that NAS drive --- i don't watch them on the desktop machine where i often download my content from, i just send it across to that NAS, the movies tab/tv tab scans folders on the NAS drive for updates and auto searches for the cover images so when i get to watch later on in the night it's ready to go -- did i answer ya question don't thin i did - i use yummy ftp on mac to do the uploading, organzing of the files to put them in the right auto detecting folders.
i have kodi running on the pi3 as a booting sd card but my files are on a NAS and my pi goes into a switch, the raspberry pi is on my local network so it's easy to send files across to it, i have setup folders to search on the pi across the network.

Ok, that sounds all very sophisticated. I also use a NAS drive but I just access from my PC without anything in between. I think I need a proper tutorial post to fully get your setup. :D

It is a lot of work. Took ne a year to create it all in the first place, then I lost everything when my harddrive broke and then it took me another year to do it again.

I use handbrake on my recorded files before I edit them (reduces loading times in editors) and after I finished rendering them (reduces size).
Without handbrake it would take twice as long to upload a video.

Oh yeah, another good use for it. Great free alternative to Adobe Media Encoder but since I have the CC subscription already I use that instead.

For a person like me, who only keeps digital prints, this sounds like lot of work, lol the lazy me. But i am pretty sure it is something interesting to do when you start. All i do is create separate folders for my movies based on their languages and that's all.
