Tdarr VS JBOPS

You could also use tdarr to automate transcoding as soon as stuff enters your library so that it’s direct playable when you decide to watch it, but I’ve never needed to try it

The only place I can find mention of the script is Tdarr_Server is not closing exiftool.exe after use. #423 and tdarr_server.exe crashes often #412

I've had issues with my 11600k and now 11400 in unraid too. Though it's CPU encoding in my case. See https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr/issues/777 .

So I read through this issue and I have a couple nodes setup, some with QSV and others with NVENC. The respective node capabilities are designated for exactly one of QSV or NVENC.

Have a look at Tdarr for distributed transcoding. I have it on a few nodes and it’s been pretty easy on the network.

I have created a feature request in the Tdarr GitHub page; https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr/issues/772

You can also use tdarr if you have more than 1 file it can auto transcodes multiple files in a directory all at once. https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr

Maybe not with stock Plex, but Tautulli with the JBOPS scripts should be able to do it.

I've been running the killscript to stop 4K transcodes for years, and I've just noticed that it doesn't work any longer. When it's triggered, I get the following error in Tautulli logs:

I am attempting to limit stream auto play at night and I found this limiterr python script was the only option that seems to be available running on tautuilli.(https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/killstream/limiterr.py).

I recommend using Tautulli and this https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/tree/master/killstream to automatically kill streams. Also configure it to reference https://mediaclients.wiki whenever it kills the stream so users know how to fix it.

What about this script https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/utility/merge_multiepisodes.py

Tautulli for monitoring and notifications, plus some scripts for "maintenance," such as killing 4K transcodes and stopping remote streams after they've been paused for X minutes. These are from the JBOPS repository.

Script: https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/reporting/streaming_service_availability.py

Unless someone has already created what you're looking for (JBOPS/reporting is a good initial place to look), you'll probably have to write something yourself that makes calls to Tautulli's API.
