(crossposting, because i think it can be interesting here too)

I like my video collection nicely organized and omogeneous as formats, codecs and resolution.

I know there are already pleanty of solutions like Tidarr, but i find them a bit too much for my needs, and also pretty complex to use.

I wrote a simpler approach in a bash script called "Media Fixer", the URL is at the top of this post.

Feel free to check it out, play with it. I hope it can be useful for others as well as me.

Perfect timing for me! I was starting to plan out how I was going to transcode my media library and had decided to write a script to do it. So I’ll give this one a try!

I wrote a media conversion script a decade ago to do that for me, but upkeep was annoying when something like FileFlows makes it stupid easy to accomplish.

I still have that script somewhere.... I bet I'll cringe reading it lol. Still, it's a great learning experience.
