Not if I want/need to seed both versions. Then it's a third version I need to keep on disk for a few weeks, instead of just two. Believe me, I've had this idea too, and have remuxed several movies to save space. ๐Ÿ‘

Fair enough, I'm mostly ripping my own discs so being a good torrent citizen isn't always top of mind.

Looking back at this thread. Jellyfin does let you select both versions and combine them into one. Then you can keep seeding to your heart's content.

I don't use that feature often, but have a couple movies that use it.

That's simpler and better (nondestructive) than renaming files, for sure. Still an extra step I need to take vs not having to do so.
