rffmpeg VS mealie

I got rffmpeg for distributed transcoding. Probably I understood Tdarr wrong, Tdarr leaves the files already transcoded or does transcoding on demand just like Rffmpeg? I got a lot of content on 4k that I would prefer to leave it like this for the best clients, and transcode as needed for 1080p computers

I'd love to point out https://github.com/joshuaboniface/rffmpeg

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.

In the rare case you need transcoding I would suggest you use a script like rffmpeg to offload transcoding to a more powerful target and/or use my script which creates trascoding workers when need be and deletes them afterwards (could be used with Unmanic as well).

> Also, remote transcoding of videos seems like a huge win! Makes it so you won't need as beefy as a system to run PeerTube.

You can technically do it if you're willing to hack around. Since it uses the ffmpeg binary you could technically replace it with rffmpeg[1], the setup isn't pretty but it's doable. I haven't done it myself but have seen reddit posts on the jellyfin community that it works pretty well once setup.

If it's a normal Jellyfin install you can just use the rffmpeg python script directly, or you could run docker on Windows or WSL.

Maybe in the future you can use multiple machines to do your transcoding?

rffmpeg is supposed to do that. I haven't used it.

It should hopefully be pretty straightforward. We've got a user who's been working on autoscaling it with Kube and Hesner, so might be worth checking that out (see https://github.com/joshuaboniface/rffmpeg/issues/34 and specifically the last comment; his profile has his repos).

Mealie can be found at https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie and Mealie Client at https://github.com/kirmanak/Mealient

If one of them cooks, spin up a mealie instance for them. I made my mom her own after she saw some recipes on mine. And she uses it all the time. Mealie Github

When you get stuck like this, always look at the docker-compose.yml file if provided. You can find this one here: https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/blob/mealie-next/docker/docker-compose.yml

I tried the official docker compose from the Github page (https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/blob/mealie-next/docker/docker-compose.yml), I git cloned the whole mealie folder (https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie.git) and got a whole host of issues or what seems like lots of issues. The only changes I made were to change the username and password under the postgres config. When I docker compose up the file I get the error message below (all the way at the end of this post). With the git clone I should have all of the dependencies and I am just not sure what these errors are telling me.

So far I am hosting my own photo backup and sharing (think Google Photos replacement, except the data just goes straight from my phone to a server that I have in my closet), a media server for streaming my own videos, and an awesome cloud recipe book to share with family (https://nightly.mealie.io/).

Personally I run mealie as a digital recipe book - https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie

For some time I've been making use of an open source recipe management tool called Mealie. You can find the code at https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie

The in my opinion best way is to contribute to software you already use. In my case that's self-hosted stuff like Mealie or Owncast.

Not possible for the moment but an issue is open https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/issues/2161
