There is a *darr program (tdarr maybe) that you can use to on-the-fly convert media, but unless you know what you’re doing you’ll just waste power/time over looking for torrents that are already HEVC. Also, depending on the age of the content, HEVC really wont save that much space.

Lidarr and Readarr DO work, but it relies on community support for it to be incredibly accurate (IIRC Lidarr uses Musicbrainz for its backend, and unless someone had added an album there you wont ever pull metadata for it) and takes a lot more time to correctly set up and configure in my experience.

There are a few guides as far as “the best” settings for media, trash guides comes to mind but his guides are aimed at having everything in “the best format” vs saving space

Maybe no one is talking about it because the greedy devs are now charging for a project?

It’s wild, i made sure to uninstall Junkstore1.0 from my deck
