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.

Lidarr ain't dead.

They juat don't have too much time to fix the metadata issue.
Jesus folks. Have some patience with devs donating their free time after work to fix your little media addiction.
If they arent fast enough for you, do it manually or use another program...

I never stopped using it and just got an update today or yesterday for it. I was going on what was posted here. I never meant to start any trouble.

It's just what was sad that irked me.
No offense taken (and hopefully non given). I hope you continue enjoying this hobby :)
