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?

Yes - I have two separate instances of Radarr, each storing their movies in dedicated top-level folders ("Movies" and "Movies-4k").

Overseerr is used to manage requests, with all 1080p requests being automatically approved, and 4K requests requiring my approval (so I can be frugal with NAS space).

Plex merges both folders into a single Movies library, where I can play either resolution of a given movie (assuming both resolutions exist).
