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?

      for all libraries? if you’re not sure, you may wish to check.

      another thing to try is to go to Troubleshooting in the Settings and first click “Clean Bundles” and then “Optimize Database” which will first clean out any unused/outdated data from your bundles and then, well, optimize the database to ensure optimal performance. This may also free up some space.

      Best of luck!
