Slightly overwhelmed with Tdarr...help? (lemm.ee)

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 find tdarr too much.

I had your same needs and ended up creating a bash script that run ffmpeg and has quite some flexibility.

Check it out: https://github.com/gardiol/media_fixer

You might want to change the ffmpeg default settings (its documented in the readme, just set some envs) because by default it encode in AV1 with mkv container at 720p, but all that can be easily changed.
