I have an extensive movie/tv show library. Been collecting for years and is a mixed bag of media types. I would like to convert all to h265 or something similar to try and conserve space. Currently my media is sitting at around 30TB's I know from a previous post that is not as significant as some others but converting one by one would be a nightmarish undertaking. I am hoping someone has a cli script to do the conversion.

I am currently using radarr, sonarr, lidarr and readarr for my media I know lidarr and readarr are dead and am looking for an alernative either for those or the full stack. I would also like to perform the conversion of media from the downloaded format to what is suggested to the best format.

  1. This comment is 6 months old xD Let it die in peace
  2. Never said it's unwatchable. But you will loose detail.
    I am usually watching encodes myself as remuxes are way too size-heavy for my liking. Only special movies get the remux quality treatment.
    Whats more important: Preserving the better part of the bitrate. Crus it too much and you have Netflix at home :p
