There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

I run a Plex instance on a VPS with limited storage and recently the metadata folder has started spiralling out of control. I’d like to run a jpg optimiser on the artist pics, album cover art, movie posters etc. Unfortunately metadata is stored in an opaque .bundle format. Does anyone have any experience with this format and how to get to its contents?

If it's your posters, other artwork that has ballooned in size, you could give Plex Image Cleanup (https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/home/scripts/image-cleanup.html) a look. Reduced by Plex size by tens of GBs, as I had multiple posters and backgrounds for almost all media.

Interesting. I know for certain albums I have at least 2 different images being proposed so some gains can be had there. The total drive space is 37GB so every MB counts at one point.
