(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.

seems handy. hardware acceleration would be cool but it can be a clusterfuck on linux

There is no real need for GPU, since its not ideal to use GPU for storage. GPU transcoding is better suited for streaming, and it has lower quality than CPU transcoding.

Anyway, just enable it by setting the proper ffmpeg flags as stated in the readme and there you go.
