[Support] HaveAGitGat - Tdarr: Audio/Video Library Analytics & Transcode Automation

[perfessor101]

Hello, I'm having some issues with my inital setup of the Tdarr and Tdarr_node dockers on my unRaid server.

/mnt/user/data/media is where all my files are located
I have transcoding mapped into /mnt/user/media/transcoding.
my plugin stack is

1)Tdarr_Plugin_MC93_MigzImageRemoval
Migz-Remove image formats from file
2)Tdarr_Plugin_lmg1_Reorder_Streams
Tdarr_Plugin_lmg1_Reorder_Streams
3)Tdarr_Plugin_00td_filter_by_bitrate
Filter by bitrate
4)Tdarr_Plugin_MC93_Migz1FFMPEG_CPU
Migz-Transcode Using CPU & FFMPEG
5)Tdarr_Plugin_a9he_New_file_size_check
New file size check

if the file is transcoded it seems to fail.
I'm guessing it can be anything from permissions to a transcode failure (although the transcoded file is generated).
it appears to finish the transcode ... file exists and is over 1 GB but an earlier plugin in the stack says later that it has 0 file length.
it goes step S01, N01, W01, W02, W03, W04, W05, W06, W02, W03 (FAILS), W01
different libraries (with same /temp path) have the transcoding files in different directories
long files are actually in /mnt/user/data/transcoding and the short files are transcoding in 
1.4G    /var/lib/docker/overlay2/a70788961876b8b5894d14e2e5cc58f668233fb7b9a74f7045dc391117af8f08/diff/app/Tdarr_Node/Super Evil - S01E01 - Genesis 1 Bluray-1080p-TdarrCacheFile-8WonlHJQ0.mkv

Is there a setting somewhere within Tdarr (or the Docker template) to get it to work with Recycle Bin?

 

Old files are being deleted fully instead of moved into the bin when replaced with new, transcoded versions, and I'm wary of letting it go on my entire library without that safety net.

[aerobrain]

I've just set up Tdarr and set it running. But it's not moving the transcoded files out of the cache location.

 

I've checked that the source and cache file paths match in the server/node. I'm not sure what else to check?! Thinking I may wake up to a pretty full hard drive 🙂

 

If there's specific logs or screenshots that might help just let me know

 

Edit: I found the settings to auto accept and manually accept the transcodes so files have started moving now. But I've got 4 files that keep failing. I'm guessing that as others are working OK it's not a permissions issue. Is there a common cause for failed copies?!

So I recently upgraded an early Ryzen build with a 12700k because I wanted to use QSV and eliminate the need for a graphics card. I re-setup HW Decoding in Jellyfin & Plex and it works beautifully (verified with INTEL_GPU_TOP via console)

 

However, TDARR for some reason will not transcode anything using QSV, i've tried two different plugins: Boosh-Transcode using QSV GPU & FFMPEG & FFMPEG VAAPI HEVC Transcode.

 

• this is using the separate node docker
• yes I have added --device=/dev/dri to the node (and also to the server docker just incase)
• it worked fine with NVENC on the old ryzen build haven't tried it with the current build as i removed the graphics card
• Jellyfin and Plex work fine with --device=/dev/dri and i validated it in the console using INTEL_GPU_TOP
• On the Boosh transcoder it does "work" but it goes at like 10,000 frames a second and doesnt ever actually transcode anything.

i'm out of ideas on this since it works on Jellyfin & Plex but not TDARR. Help plz?

Did you ever get this to work?  I can't figure out how to setup tdarr using the Intel GPU to transcode instead of Nvidia.

[DeNiX]

I've been using tdarr on windows server and node on baremetal and av1 
encoding using arc380 always worked like charm because i couldnt get it working 
on unraid, so have been messing arround and can confirm that it works using a 
custom flow and using ffmpeg also does work and getting the same fps as on a windows node. 

How ever i'm a very noob and i can not get the same results like a json file i used created by handbrake. 
(it has all the settings i want, like cfr subtitles and audio want to keep and passthrough)
If I import the json file, as a custom handbrake command, everything goes as expected till it gets to the 
transcoding part itself and i get the following error message in the logs: 

(i cutt out some time stamps to save space)
QO3MF2pGX:Node[ARC-A380]:Worker[yummy-yeti]:libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'iHD'

Here is the log from same file with ffmpeg on unraid:

don't know what it does, but on the test run it's like this after transcode: 

 

I still do have to check for quality haven't got the time for yet, I happy that i got av1 working

 only if i could achieve this with my json files would be perfect. (1 for HDR content and one for non HDR) 

anyway to let the node use the same driver as ffmpeg probably i915_dri.so or the i965_dri.so so i can use it 
like i'm used to?

Hello,

 

Why does tdarr change permissions of transcoded files? 

 

I am doing a few test runs before letting it rip on my full library but I noticed this permission change from -rw-rw-rw- to -rw-rw-r--. I tried adding Tdarr_Plugin_0800dCTlb Set File_Permissions_For_UnRaid but this just errors out with 'Operation not permitted'. Any suggestions how to keep default permissions after Tdarr?

Edited February 25 by Laov

[MrCrispy]

I'd read in another thread that as Tdarr executes each plugin it copies the file to its temp/working folder (which is on cache), writes the output file, which is then copied to the original location, then the next plugin is run and repeats the copies so on, and someone had replied that this was going to be fixed later so that all plugins run on intermediate file.

 

Is this still the case?

This isn’t necessarily true. The location used is wherever you have it mapped to in the container configuration.

Right, but all the guides recommend using a fast drive like ssd for this. Its at the very least a different folder, so my qn remains the same.

My experience has been that the transcodes take longer than file moves so a fast drive may not speed things up. I just use a directory on my array. Completed files are moved while others are processing and not seeing any bottle necks there.

 

As far as your main question, I've got a new library processing right now. Looks like the process is that a new file is created at your transcode location. All changes are made to that new file. Then the new file is moved to the original location overwriting the original. I can see from the file creation times that only one file is being created in my transcode folder.

Thank you, that answers my qn. I am assuming you have the default setup which replaces files as they are encoded?

 

 

[MrCrispy]

I know that encoding times/quality is dependent on many factors, but can someone give me a general idea of what I can expect for converting my library to hevc. Assume average bitrates for the input media and the default Tdarr setup.

 

- how much time would it take to convert a 1hr video to h265

- what kind of reduction to expect? 

- input media ranges from SD to 1080p. Is it worthwhile to convert SD/480p or just leave them alone?

- if I get an Nvidia card, can I then run 2 nodes on same machine, one using Intel, other one the gpu?

 

Right now I have an Intel 8th gen cpu for QuickSync. I know Nvenc will be faster. I've also read there is a drop in quality which can be compensated by an increase in output size? Is this correct?

 

Would just like to get a general idea. The 2 cards I am looking at are the Quadro P400 or a 1050 Ti, what is the difference in encoding speed between them (in general does a card costing 2x encode 2x as fast?)

On my machine it takes about 20 minutes.

You won’t see as much file size reduction from low quality files but if they’re all in the same directory it might be easier just to convert everything.

It’s possible but you should test this first. You may decide that you don’t want to overwhelm your CPU for weeks or months.

 

Sorry, can’t give you any advise on the nvidia cards.

what do you use to encode - CPU/hw?

Intel Xeon E3-1241 Haswell. Rather underpowered for this. I would recommend you setup a test library with maybe a dozen or so videos and see how yours does before starting your main library.

How can i possibly install handbrake 1.7+ into the image and keep it running normally?

/bin/bash -c 'add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/handbrake && apt update && apt install -y handbrake-cli' 

in post arguments keeps stopping the container after the execution

This cheat sheet has everything you need to know when deciding on an Nvidia GPU for encoding HEVC. I would not recommend worrying too much about single vs dual encoders so much. Look at the columns for NVENC capabilities, they're listed in total FPS(@1080p) and total streams. This tells you how many FPS in total you will be able to encode with a given card, in something like Tdarr. For Plex, Jellyfin, etc take a look at the Transcoder Limits column. That will tell you approximately how many simultaneous transcodes you could be doing for all of those Plex users that won't fix their damn remote streaming settings lol

I currently run Plex/Tdarr/Steam-headless using my old 980ti and the metrics given at the below link line up very well with what I'm seeing on my server. For my price/performance/power efficiency needs and based on the info I got from this link, I'm probably going to go with a 3060 12GB. Good power efficiency, a decent DLSS, raytracing, etc bump for the very little steam gaming I do using steam-headless, and a huge bump to both encoding performance and quality. 
 

Also keep in mind that the new the generation on GPU, the better quality the video encoders are going to output. Newer cards are also going to be way more compatible with certain files like 4:2:2, 10-bit, HDR etc. NVENC will fail on a lot of these files when trying to use older cards, like my 980ti.
