How did you convert to hvec? I'd love to do that on my entire library but don't know where to start. I'd also love to burn subtitles into some foreign films since Plex is generally terrible at doing subtitles...

Up until now, I've been using the convert tool in Emby server. You can select a whole library and convert it, or individual items/playlists/collections; with options to automatically convert new media as it's added.

Tbh, I've been having a bit of trouble with it re-converting media it's already done, so I was looking for another solution.

Someone in this thread mentioned tdarr, so I'm going to be looking into that this weekend. Seems like a much more manageable tool with more powerful options.

/edit; I should also mention, this is a long process. Using an rtx4080, it was almost 3 full months non-stop to convert my entire media library from mostly h264 -> h265.
