Alternatives to unmanic & tdarr? (lemmy.zip)

What's everyone using to auto-transcode their media library?

Tdarr and unmanic are both freemium/proprietary. I dont mind paying for software but I prefer to support open source projects.

Is there anything similar worth looking at?

Couple of days ago ‘honey I shrunk the vids’ was posted here, a very lightweight tdarr alternative. https://piefed.ca/c/selfhosted/p/571213/honey-i-shrunk-the-vids-mr-universe-edition-v1-0-5

But I haven’t tried it - I’m not sure if it’s perhaps gui-only, and it seems to be AI coded to a certain degree, so YMMV.
