Comment on [Help] Media Server + *arr stack: Follow TRaSH guides or my own setup?
oxideseven@lemmy.ca 17 hours agoYeah this, the guide is great but the size limits and such can be kind of nuts. I went back and used the guide but stick to 1080p for more chances at finding stuff and less bloat.
A lot of the guide feels geared to hosting just for you if you have a great TV setup. Considering half the people that use my stuff are on a phone, 1080 is fine, saves transcode and headaches with things that older decides can’t even stream.
No one listens to me, so no one updates their stuff so sadly I still can’t use 265 cus it doesn’t work on a lot of stuff :(

I bit the bullet and invested in a dedicated transcoding GPU. Then I setup Tdarr to transcoding all the things nightly into x265. I figure the money I saved in soteage offset the vost of the GPU. And it handlew multiple streams pretty flawlessly, for any devices that don’t support the codec.

I’ve got TrueNAS running on a reasonably recent PC but not a ton of space on the drives. I’d love to transcode the handful of 8GB+ movies and 40GB+ seasons sitting around taking up space. How complicated was it to set up tdarr and how long does it usually take to transcode?
