Hi guys!

I’m trying to re-compress a few TV shows that are mostly animation to some animation-friendly codec (HEVC 10bit, maybe even AV1), to reduce the storage it takes on the NAS (I’m looking at you, One Piece/Simpsons!). I’ve used handbrake with full folders to handle whole seasons of a TV show before, but that was a bit frustrating to run on my desktop PC, hence the install of Tdarr. However it’s a bit…overwhelming with all the options, without quite hinting what each one does. I’m adding a…library. Ok, what’s the library? Is it say, an -arr full TV Shows library? Or should I add one library per TV show (custom specific settings for each one?). How do I work…with the transcode options? I see it’s all drag-drop, but I’m not sure of all these options.

I’d like to transcode to say, HEVC 10bit, reduce perhaps audio with Opus or AAC, and keep same tracks and subs. How would I go about this?

THanks!

    I recently decided to dive a bit deeper into flows since the plugin stacks were failing on me sometimes. Cobbled together something from the examples provided, seems to work fine for me now. Depending the worker it runs on it tries to transcode with nvenc or qsv, if it fails or is not available the flow falls back to cpu transcode.
