With tools like TinyMediaManager, why in the absolute fuck would you do it manually?
At this point, it sounds like you're just bad at media management more than anything. 1080p h265 video is at most between 1.5-2GB per video. That means with even a modest network connection speed (500Mbps lets say) you can realistically download 5TB of data over 24 hours... You can redownload your entire media library in less than 4-5 days if you wanted to.
So why spend ~$700 on 2 20TB drives, one to be used only as redundancy, when you can simply redownload everything you previously had (if you wanted to) for free? It'll just take a little bit of time.
Complete waste of money.
I prefer Sonarr for management.
Problem is the auto matching.
It just doesnt always work.
Practical example: Looney. Tunes.and.Merrie.Melodies.HQ.Project.v2022
Some episodes are either not in the correct order or their name is deviating from how tvdb sorts it.
Your best regex/automatching can do nothing about it if
Looney.Tunes.Shorts.S11.E59.The.Hare.In.Trouble.mkvshould actually be namedLooney.Tunes.Shorts.S1959.E11.The.Hare.In.A.Pickle.mkvto be automatically imported.At some point fixing multiple hits becomes so tedious it's easier to just clear all auto-matches and restart fresh.
