PlexCleaner VS sickbeard_mp4_automator

I use this: https://github.com/ptr727/PlexCleaner

I used Plex Cleaner for exactly this. And I have it set to run weekly automatically so new content that's added gets scanned for unknown tracks to be renamed too.

Some options. You could also just use ffmpeg/handbrake and batch convert. 1. Plex Cleaner 2. Tdarr 3. Unmanic 4. Sickbeard MP4 Automator

I used PlexCleaner to fix this. It worked great. PlexCleaner can do a lot of stuff, but I only used it for this issue. In order to edit audio track labels, the files have to be MKV's, but PlexCleaner can also remux your files to MKV if necessary.

PlexCleaner appears more complete, active and only requires a simple config-file, not writing plugins from scratch...

I have an app that sanitizes media: https://github.com/ptr727/PlexCleaner/

I have been using MP4 automator for over 5 years; https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator . I choose MP4 as it works on preety much any device i have ever tryied, H264, AAC stereo and AC3 5.1. Have also used Tdarr for H265 conversion; it really uses 35-50% less space for same quality (4k and I wasnt able to see difference).

They do extended versions of some existing containers that add extra stuff. I use sabnzbd-extended for the SMA support.

SMA, Automatically converts media files to a standardized format, and tags them with the appropriate metadata from TMDB if the container supports tagging. Made to integrate with Radarr, Sonarr, etc. but can be run stand alone. Python required (3+, although 2.7 was still supported, last I knew). Free. https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator

Sickbeard mp4 Automator for media conversation and metadata matching. Combined with mediaelch for bulk renaming and poster downloads, they’re essential for plex hosting. Also use subler for quick metadata/language code fixes.

You can use something like the following to automate the transcoding: https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator

Going back to https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator, I was following the steps for sonarr/radarr and went to add a connection (custom script). Browsed to /usr/local/sma/postSonarr.py and clicked the test button, and I got an error that the script exited with -1. I am wondering if it has something to do with this weird instruction from the github page:
