I was just wondering about how the cache works? Like won't all the new encoded files go into the cache drive? Meaning that only a few encodes and the drive will fill up and then... what? SpaceInvader says to use "prefer cache" for the transcoding tmp dir.. but how dose the other stuff work.. like the place the files are stored.. should be not use the "shares" to find the media folder.. or should be be browsing through the "disk" area and physically setting tdarr to the disks themselves? Is that making sense? I'm a plug and play kind of user.. so not super techy. Also, would anyone be willing to make a noob tutorial on how to connect to a unraid server a node on windows 10? It uses tmp to encode then overwrites the existing file so at most if your doing 3-4 encodes only those 3-4 at a time should be in your temp folder. Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I have just finished watching doing a test conversion after watching Spareinvaders video but I have a question which I can't find within the app. when I use Handbrake I have the following settings for TV Shows = 480 NTSC H265 p30 - duel sound. Films = HQ 1090 Full HD H265 p30 = surround sound but when I look in Tdarr I can't find the option to choose which profile I want to use, as my last test only convert the formatted from 254 to 265 and nothing else. is there a way to do this ?

Was hoping to have a situation where you can specify say 90% usage of all cores rather than pinning and locking out an entire core/thread. Been having solid success so far with tdarr, so thanks OP. There is a -cpus="" command, but you have to tell it how many threads it can use You should be able to put the following in the "Extra Parameters" line: --cpus="XX" Replace the XX with 90% of your cpu/threads installed. I have 40 threads and wanted to limit a container to 25%, so i put --cpus="10". Quote Link to comment
Andiroo2 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've looked thought the thread and can't find what I am looking for -- help with Quick Sync GPU setup for the new v2 tdarr dockers. I have my iGPU working in Plex via /dev/dri, and passed it to the tdarr node the same way. I have tried a few different QSV plugins but none seem to work. I can convert with a CPU plugin without issue, so I know the containers and directories are set up properly. Can someone recommend a QSV plugin that works for them? I've tried the ones listed in the default options and one I found online but no dice.

I've been playing with this app/docker for a couple days now after seeing the vid and it seems pretty useful. I was wondering how to setup CPU=Health checking, GPU=Transcoding? any help would be great. ty.. Are these the right settings? I just don't see any change in the Node Overview (Active workers) Thanks.. Health checks are quick and likely to be all done. Only took an hour or 2 to scan 20tb. Quote Link to comment

rav007 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm having a super weird issue, I've got 4 nodes total, 2 windows and 2 unraid with unraid running the server. If the unraid box that runs the server initiates the mover, all the transcodes "complete" at 1kb-5mb and replace the originals. Anyone else having issues ?

leejbarker Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hi... Looking for a bit of advice please... I want Tdarr to convert any audio it finds to AC3 unless there is already an AC3 track detected. But I want it to leave the original audio track in place rather than delete it. Quote Link to comment

Try changing this to only so that the mover wont touch them I did end up moving to another nvme cache and it's currently set to only. The folder the videos are in had cache set to yes and the files upon completion were being moved to the primary cache drive as a result. It seems when the mover is invoked when the cache drive reaches it's set 90% tdarr is processing the files as expected and moving them from the nvme cache drive to the primary cache drive (due to cache being enabled on the video folder location) during the move it's not placing a lock on the files and the mover just happily moves a 1kb-200meg in-copy file and then tdarr, I assume, just errors out due to the move. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just the nature of the way tdarr replaces files. In the short term, I have turned off cache to process my library for my video folder. I would caution anyone in a similar situation processing a large chunk of their library to watch out for this, as you may find several video files cut very, very short. Quote Link to comment
Mobious Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Can anyone recommend a plugin to transcode 4k videos to reduce their size? I have tried all NVENC H265 plugins and all of them skip 4k videos. Tdarr works well with 1080p and lower videos. Quote Link to comment

Mattti1912 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Hello Im having some problems. Is there a way to stop the program while it's transcoding?? Some of my files ends up in error transcoding../Cancelled.. Is there a way to get them converted?? i've tried to re-queue but with no effect.. Im having a amd 2700x and a nvidia 400 card so transcoding should be fine.. Anyone who has the same problem?? I dont know if this helps but hope so.. [matroska @ 0x56502fa107c0] Only audio, video, and subtitles are supported for Matroska. Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- Conversion failed! regards Edited October 10, 2021 by Mattti1912 an update Quote Link to comment

I'm using "Tdarr_Plugin_drdd_standardise_all_in_one" which converts audio to aac. I lied. I am using these two: - Tdarr_Plugin_JB69_JBHEVCQSV_MinimalFile (I edited this plugin to ignore all files that were already in HEVC completely) - Tdarr_Plugin_JB69_JBHEVCQSZ_PostFix Edited October 13, 2021 by Andiroo2 Whoops.

takkkkkkk Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 hi there! I set everything up, and seems like it's working, but then I just followed what spaceinvader had. Anyone know if that is the optimal setting for GTX970? I'm reading that older nvidia cards may not be optimal for H265 and wanted to see if I'm actually making my videos worse by doing this Quote Link to comment
jackfalveyiv Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 LInking my issue here: I am not sure what is causing the issue, but very consistently larger files are failing while smaller ones are succeeding. I am need a little guidance on what else I can troubleshoot here, but I'm curious whether or not this is related to the plugins I'm using. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
jackfalveyiv Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 As an update, it seems like file size is not a determinative factor as files as low as 1.4gb are also failing, and I still can't find the reason why. Quote Link to comment
Andiroo2 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Can you confirm that you’re using an nvidia GPU? The nvenc error implies that it can’t find one. Can you transcode with CPU properly? Make sure that’s working for all types of files before addressing your GPU trouble. Quote Link to comment

I was experiencing the same issue while running the "trex-miner" docker container, both were using the same graphics card (Quadro P2000) after disabling the trex-miner container tdarr had no problem with any of the files... maybe Tdarr has issues with using the same device as another container and you're having a similar issue?

jackfalveyiv Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Managed to fight my way through the previous error, but came across a new one. I had been transcoding successfully for the past week, but my Node stopped a few hours ago and I'm receiving the below errors in the log. Both docker containers for Server and Node are running and I haven't made any configuration changes to either one, unsure what has caused this new problem. Also, I can confirm Health Checks are running without an issue, and I am using the GPU for both tasks. Edited October 23, 2021 by jackfalveyiv Quote Link to comment
