I currently have Plex and Radarr. I only ever got 1080p content because that’s all my tv would do. Finally getting a nice new tv and would like to get a few 4K hdr movies to watch. Should I be looking for Bluray2160, Remux, or disk and what will Plex play?

    Bluray2160 and use mediainfo to make sure the codecs being used are AVC and AAC in an MP4 container.

      If they have a 4K HDR capable TV they can playback HEVC. Does anyone even make x264 2160p releases? And container doesn’t matter either, Plex will remux it for you if necessary.

      Would it make sense to set up a second radarr to only do 4K stuff? Or can I have radarr download 4K to a specific folder

        It depends on what you want. If you plan on keeping two different libraries in Plex I would also keep two Radarr instances, but if you are going for a combined library you could stick to one and just use a different quality profile for the movies you want to be in 4K.
