Can you give an example of how to run this? Will it mess up already matched videos, or will it clear out the existing metadata for those files?
To run it you have to save it in a file for example test.py
and then call it like python test.py folder '/path/to/folder'
. After that you run a scan and move the metadata from the original to the x265 version while deduplicating.
I like the idea of this, and it could remain a standalone script, or it could become a stash plugin, perhaps with the new settings to make it easy to configure. I'd say this is really just redoing the current transcoding already in code. But maybe that's ok, and maybe we should just give a better UI to making custom transcodes using the current code?
Might be worth doing as a short term script, as a poor man's transcoder, but unsure of level of support. It is worth adding this or just pointing people to handbrake or tdarr?
Feedback welcomed.
Hello, I'm trying to use this on MacOS, but I'm getting this error every time [ERROR] Could not Convert "X". Am I missing some prerequisites? I had to install a few of the things being imported at the top of the script, so I did that
This is a script that converts all videos to mkv to reduce the size. It could be modified to use the stash database instead.
