What is the video bitrate of movies/shows in the share? Does it support transcoding or are they only doing direct stream?
I'm curious because OP wants higher quality and to save space I'm usually using similar bitrate as commercial streaming services for my media library.
Transcoding for 1080p, which is usually 6-7mbit/s, you can downsample it to 300kbits if you like. FYI, Netflix is about 2-3mbit, premium is like maybe 10.
Transcoding is not allowed for 4k.
4k bitrate varies from 10mbit/s to like 60-80mbit/s, so at least 100mbit link is recommended.
Almost all new content is available both in 1080p and 4k. Some older stuff only in 4k.
