I have it pointed at my movies folder using Handbrake, and have pinned four cores to the container. Right now, the ETA is about 16 hours @ 20% complete. The ETA bounces around between 14-18 hours. I just copied this same file to my Handbrake container watch folder, and the ETA is ~8 hours with .31% complete. Also four separate cores pinned to the container. Using the same preset: H.265 MKV 1080p30. Per the logs the ETA is steady, doesn't change much, except to decrease normally as it processes. Wondering why the discrepancy between the two? I really want to like tdarr for the control it gives. I'm confident I'm doing something wrong, just don't know what yet. Are you doing 2 pass encoding at all? The Tdarr ETA wouldn’t take that into consideration. Have you tried using the HandBrakeCLI on its own and comparing that to the HandBrake container and Tdarr? I’m thinking maybe the GUI applies some extra settings behind the scenes to make things faster. I use the “Fast 1080p30” preset and the ETA has been quite accurate with that.

Here you can see that the default for this preset is stereo audio: https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/latest/technical/official-presets.html You can pass through audio using for example the following switch: -E copy:ac3,aac,eac3,truehd,dts,dtshd,mp3 That was close, and got me to using my brain, but I had to put copy in front of every format to get it to work. So it went: -E copy:ac3,copy:aac,copy:eac3,copy:truehd,copy:dts,copy:dtshd,copy:mp3,copy:flac Then it just started passing through all my audio. Thanks for all the great work and thanks!
January 28, 20206 yr I find it much easier to create a Handbrake profile in the GUI and export it then just copy it to your share exposed to Tdarr container and call it from the plugin.

I'm trying to give this a try as it looks like some files of mine are just dropping the audio all together. I have my profile exported, where would I put it for the plugin to recognize it?

You need to exclude transcoding hevc and then add a custom transcode action. You use the normal HandBrake syntax for that. So the plugin summary should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/CECWNSY Where the argument is: --preset-import-file "C:\Users\HaveAGitGat\Desktop\testpreset.json" -Z "My Preset" So you need to change that to the path and name of your preset.

Thanks a ton. I will give it a shot.
February 6, 20206 yr Hello,I have just installed tdarr on my unraid and was wondering if I can simply use a filter for eac3 and then transcode it to ac3? What is better in this case: ffmpeg or handbrake?Can I define different output extensions like mkv and MP4 within the same plugin or do I have to define multiple plugins for that?ThanksGesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk

Thanks Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk What are you looking to do? Just change eac3 to ac3 on your video files? Are you wanting to keep the original eac3 audio stream or replace it?
February 7, 20206 yr Exactly. I want to have every eac3 line replaced with ac3 leaving the rest as it is.Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk

Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk Sorry missed the reply. There is a 'standardise audio codecs' plugin which will convert all audio to ac3. Will that be okay or are there other audio streams (like dts etc) which you want to leave alone in the file?
February 8, 20206 yr I want to leave everything as it is except eac3. DTS and so on is totally fine for me.Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk

Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk I've created and uploaded a new community plugin for this: Tdarr_Plugin_a9hd_FFMPEG_Transcode_Specific_Audio_Stream_Codecs Make sure you are on Tdarr 1.104. The number of channels per stream is kept the same but the bitrate changes depending on the codec. Test it first! Worked well for me.
February 8, 20206 yr I will try it and give feedback. I will have a look at the plugin as well since I want to know how you made it.Something else: if the output should go to the source sub folder should it be left empty in the settings? This is not quite clear for me.Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk

February 9, 20206 yr Ok. Now I am stuck in an infinite loop. Tdarr itself shows me in the search that it has already been converted to ac3. Is this plugin related?Gesendet von meinem MI 8 mit Tapatalk

February 12, 20206 yr Hi! I have this running on my server now, but I'm not sure how to actually do what I'm after. In your wiki documentation, you mention your plugin stack: Quote (1) If not in h264, transcode into h264 [h264 is a more universal video codec than others] (2) If not in mp4, remux into mp4 [mp4 is the most universal container] (3) Remove subs (4) Remove closed captions (5) Add aac stereo audio if none (eng preferred) [very universal audio codec/channel count] (6) Remove meta-data if title meta detected [Stops annoying titles appearing in Plex] Is that available somewhere? It is very close to what I'm trying to do.
February 16, 20206 yr First off thank you. I just started using this container and I like all the options you have to control your media files. I'm having an issue with the container not using the PUID:99 and PGID: 100 defined in the template. When the container writes any file it does so as root. Most of the containers when the PUID and PGID are set it uses this when writing files created. Can you please change the container to use these settings? I don't want my media files created as root that are output from this container. Anyone else having this issue? I thought I might have setup something incorrectly, but everything else is working fine. Only issue is the files are being created with the wrong owner. Thanks Edited February 16, 20206 yr by mwells
February 16, 20206 yr Need a little plugin help. I want a plugin that searches all audio streams for an AC3 5.1 audio track, it will then set that stream to the "default" audio stream. Any ideas?
