  • While I don’t know of a solution I totally get what you mean… A lot of cool projects don’t work anymore because of that…

    Something similar to the container technology, where everything is packed into an image with all it’s dependencies to the correct version. The app would probably be a security nightmare, but could still work in it’s own contained system.

    This sounds like a very neat technology that Linux is missing !







  • I don’t mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients

    I mean AV1 is very well supported on most clients/new devices these days. While I do not know any good groups that only encodes in AV1, I personally download high quality BD rips and re-encode them to SVT-AV1 without any visual quality loss (for my personal taste and perspective).

    I’m not an audiophile or videophile and do not have the necessary devices to decode high end 1080p nor 4k video streams.

    About AV1 I think only iOS devices do not have a native software/hardware AV1 decoder (I migh be wrong here).

    As for your question, I wish there were more encoders that do AV1 :/





  • Like others said the arr stack is probably what you’re looking for. If you’re only looking to rename files sonarr will fill you in ! Look at the documentation, I only use sonarr to rename my local files !

    Other thing to consider, is this cool github project TVMV which also renames the files but you need to register to create an API key from TMDB (its free and you can fill in dummy informations). But it’s less customizable. I’m only using it to rename files if their name is in a different language than English.

    About metadata, I don’t know if there’s a bulk and recursive metadata editor and dunno if sonarr fills in the gap. However, mkvtool and bash scripting is probably going to be your tools here.

    How I would go about it:

    • rename your files with sonarr putting all the important stuff in the filename
    • bash script with mkvtool to strip and copy portions of the title name and add them in the corresponding metadata field.

    There’s probably a better way to stripe metadata from sites like tvdb but I’m not a dev so it’s totally out of my scope and knowledge.
