I’d like to see an option to have archive disks, maybe on hard drive or even on blueray.

I have a ton of old cartoons that are only ~120MB in h.264. I’d like to archive them off onto blueray then have plex scan the disk and the disks id. Then when someone tries to play it have it say ‘insert Scooby Doo disk 1’.

Same for movies, a blueray burner is pretty cheap and archiving 20-50 old movies off would be very handy.
