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.

It's not as good as the original, but again, you can't tell the difference on a 65" TV, especially with old TV shows that are 4:3

  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
