I’m trying to set up an arr/arr/arr box on a raspberry pi.

      Thanks. It’s not finding anything with that setting, so I’m not sure if it does the trick. But I’ll give it some time.

        Its under Settings>Profile.

        Theres like 3 levels of indirection going on here which is confusing but gives you a lot of control:

        1. Media has a “Quality Profile”.
        2. Profiles are a set of ranked Qualities.
        3. Qualities define a Format and Size limits

        You should create or edit a profile with only qualities of formats that jellyfin supports. Then set your media to only use that profile. I dont know for sure which qualities jellyfin supports but I only use Bluray, HDTV and WEB. For sure uncheck Remux.

          Yeah, I know where the setting is. I was saying it can’t find anything using just webdl 720/1080.

          I’ll see if hdtv and blueray go through without transcoding, though.

          edit: nope hdtv needs it

            Strange. I dont need any transcoding with those formats and I’m using jellyfin too. Maybe my jellyfin instance is able to support more codecs somehow?

            Edit: maybe its transcoding and I’m just not noticing it.

              Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on anymore there. I forced it not to transcode things in user settings, and nothing would play. Then I turned that off, and the 1080p stuff with reasonable file size seems fine. IDK if it’s transcoding or not, Jellyfin is kind of a weird black box.

                I think the important thing is to ban those +50GB movie formats what will take forever to transcode.

                I wonder how Plex handles this problem. Because jellyfin requires everything to be in a limited set of formats so the streaming works well. Does Plex not do that too?

    You could also have radarr move files into a to-encode directory after download+unpack, then have something like handbrake re-encode things in that dir, having that output completed re-encodes into the Jellyfin dir - or, maybe a radarr imoort dir that does not do re-encoding?

    The details are fuzzy to me at the moment but the important part is to insert handbrake somewhere in the pipeline. You could also come up with your own ffmpeg script but I find handbrake super easy to use.

        I’ve been looking into those. There’s also unmanic.

        But the server is a raspberry pi, so making it convert stuff would take a while. It’d be a lot more efficient to just download stuff in the right format in the first place. (But apparently all the torrent seeders are super video quality archival nerds, so this might not be realistic.)
