SRT sidecar subtitles can be streamed alongside the video and audio streams. The author is and he’s got the answered reply in that thread, so yeah, you can get those scripts there. Direct Play on my systems uses about 4% per stream, where 2 or 3 transcodes can literally cripple it… So I ALWAYS aim for Direct Playing media. This ensures that the media is as direct playable as possible on the highest number of client apps/devices. These scripts convert those (and other audio codecs) to AAC Stereo for the first track by default.

But they aren’t going to be the first track, and you may have to select them in your client app.

embedded into the MP4 with these scripts. You can also get DTS or AC3 5.1, 7.1, etc.

These scripts will also strip out subs and make srt sidecar files, but Sonarr doesn’t rename these, nor move them, so a bit of a waste doing this with TV shows… Assuming those tracks exist in the original downloads. It’s possible to have English as a main track, German as a second, Spanish as a third, by changing a setting in the ini file.

In some cases, MKV’s already have the H264 codec inside, and in this case, it’s just repackaging the files into an MP4.Īs I said, these scripts are already a part of Sonarr, but without the customizing that cayars has done to them.

Other codecs can be converted in mere minutes… It seems to hang on H265 10-bit, and cayars is working on an update to resolve this. So codecs that can only be converted via one core are going to take a while. They rely solely on CPU to muscle through. ATM these scripts do NOT use any GPU or hardware acceleration. Sonarr can’t rename/move them until the conversion is completed. The conversion scripts start writing the file to the NZB folder as soon as they kick off, but they are locked until the process is done. (If needed.) Basically all that needs to be done is folders and paths to fit the Linux platform. He has links to the main post in his signature, as well as instructions to modify them for Linux. Another way to find them is to look for MikeG6.5 on that forum as well.

They are set up originally for Windows, but with some editing, you can make them work for Linux as I have. If you have a Plex Pass you can get the script from a post made by a user there named He took the default scripts that came with SickBeard/SickRage and modified them to fit his needs. 2 hours might work better for some people. 15 minutes might be a bit high, especially if you have a lot of media. If you open the Web App for PMS, go to Settings -> Server -> Library and turn on “Update my library periodically” to something that fits your needs. In this case, you would probably want to set PMS up to scan for changes on a timed manner. PMS can’t detect changes automatically, most of the time. Things get a little more difficult when using PMS with your media across a network, though. (Or you can use the default conversion scripts that come with Sonarr, I suppose.) You can do the entire process without the conversion scripts just as easily. After that, Sonarr does the rest automatically. If the original download’s name is something really off the wall, then I have to manually go in and rename the show in the NZBDrone folder. I just need to get Sonarr set up to find the shows, etc.

PMS is set up to detect media changes, so after the file is put into the correct Show/Season folder and properly renamed PMS detect this change, finds the new episode, matches it based on the naming scheme, and adds the show to the proper library/show/season automatically.Īs long as the original download is named fairly closely to the TVDB name this entire process is completely hands free. It also is renamed into a much more Plex friendly naming scheme. Sonarr sees the newly converted file(s) and assuming the download name is something it can match to, it finds the media, moves it to the proper Show/Season folder. At the end of the download, SABnzb+ calls a copy of this conversion script, putting the media into a NZBDrone folder that Sonarr watches, deleting the original file after it is done with the conversion. I have Sonarr set up to send a download to SABnzb+ via SABnzb+'s API. (Everything gets converted to MP4 with H264 video and AAC stereo audio codecs.) This seems to be the most Direct Playable on most of Plex’s client apps. I use some customized conversion scripts to do any conversions from what I consider “unfavorable” file containers and codecs into something a bit more Plex friendly. I have PMS set up on the same machine I have Sonarr on.
