Tdarr VS autoscan

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

Use Cloudbox/autoscan instead. Plex Autoscan is not maintained anymore, you can see the repository is archived.

If you use *arr to manage your downloads try setting up the "Connect" section of it with Plex and only scanning when you import/add new media to save on the periodic scans for no reason, or perhaps check out https://github.com/cloudbox/autoscan as I've heard good things about this as well.

You should now use this instead: https://github.com/Cloudbox/autoscan

This tool is designed to let sonarr/radarr directly communicate with tdarr, much like autoscan is able to communicate between sonarr/radarr and plex/emby/jellyfin.

The solution to have plex refresh the metadata after a bazarr subtitle add is to use autoscan. NOT plex_autoscan, but autoscan. This is the newer version. You also need autoscan-adapter, the critical piece of the puzzle. Autoscan by itself lets bazarr/sonarr/etc notify plex to update libraries. The autoscan-adapter helps autoscan be able to actually refresh plex metadata so the new subtitles from bazarr can be found. This is all actually very easy to implement using docker-compose. Refer to the docker-compose setup in the autoscan-adapter github.

I recommand using Autoscan. If you're using the *arr stack to download your medias, it can then automatically trigger a scan. The *arr stack can do this without autoscan for jellyfin, but the advantage of autoscan is that you can plug it to any of your other means of downloading medias by just calling its webhook
