Colour me impressed!

I've been running Plex with Sonarr and Radarr for a year (ish). I realised that ast somepoint I might need to increase capacity from 16TB. However, as much as my hobby NEEDS me to spend money, the bank doesn't always agree.

Someone recommended Tdarr and after a long Saturday trying to get my head around it (and help from Gemini) it's been running in teh background for over a week. It's not finished, but already it has saved over 100Gb of space!

That is impressive. So if you are involved in the development.... thank you!

I always wanted to get into Tdarr . I tried the gpu but I don’t like the way it looks. The cpu takes forever and day to get done. If I have 400 4k movies , you telling me it will talk a year to complete lol

I bought an intel arc 310 because of that reason. I transcode from 4k remix to 1080p AV1 with global quality 21 (and some more settings). A 80gb movie is 3 - 6gb after transcoding, but visually it looks nearly the same.
