I did this as well, and the result is, I now don’t have to buy more storage capacity, my collection is 50% the size now, the quality is perfectly fine, I’m happy with it and now all new videos are encoded in HEVC first.
But what annoys me is when I watch remotely, it transcodes everything back up to H264, with higher bitrate and lower quality, would be nice it if just direct streams my H265 encodes.
This is still 100% needed, if there was any other directly competing platform that had better hardware support, I would switch.
