The Dim Media Manager is still active - Help us by filling out our survey!
Just having support for a remote transcoder, along the lines of unicorn transcoder or rffmpeg would be a good first step to let us start homebrewing a solution.

Tonemapping Dolby Vision - Is it possible to achieve by replacing the ffmpeg binary?
Interesting, I wasn't aware they tweaked it so much. Projects like Unicorn Transcoder made it seem like you could just drop-in replace it with a different binary.

Is it possible to run the "Optimize" functionality standalone? I want to run it on my powerful PC instead of my weak NAS CPU
There was/is a Project for remote transcoding, the Unicorn Trancoder which might help but the last commit in that project was made in Oct. 2021.

Can I let my Plex Server convert files on another machine?
On the other hand, there is a Project called Unicorn Transcoder which is to offload the transcoding job on a different machine. If that works with plex optimization or just the "on-the-fly" transcoder, I don't know.

Best remote torrent / VPN / Plex setup ?
I've got Medusa (aka pyMedusa) for automatically grabbing episodes of the shows I watch, renaming them and moving them to their respective folders. There' a Medusa DSM 7 V2.3.spk package available here: https://github.com/BenjV/SYNO-packages When you install package it gets the latest version of pyMedusa from https://github.com/pymedusa/Medusa and once installed Medusa updates itself (though you do have to stop and start Medusa in package center).
