PlexCleaner converting entire library for HEVC/H265/x265 or H264/x264

[C0nw0nk]

So there are a few ways using plexcleaner to do this.

These are the options.

PlexCleaner FFMPEG reencode

Using reencode this will use FFMPEG and the command line FFMPEG will use is in the settings.json
This will convert all media in your plex library using FFMPEG using your 265 settings.

"C:\win-x64\PlexCleaner.exe" reencode --settingsfile "C:\win-x64\PlexCleaner.json" --logfile "C:\win-x64\PlexCleaner.log" --mediafiles "C:\Movies"

PlexCleaner HandBrake deinterlace

Using deinterlace this will use HandBrakeCLI and the command line HandBrakeCLI will use is in the settings.json
This will convert all media in your plex library using HandBrake using your 265 settings.

"C:\win-x64\PlexCleaner.exe" deinterlace --settingsfile "C:\win-x64\PlexCleaner.json" --logfile "C:\win-x64\PlexCleaner.log" --mediafiles "C:\Movies"

settings.json

  "ConvertOptions": {
    "FfMpegOptions": {
      // Use HEVC 265
      "Video": "hevc_nvenc -crf 27 -preset slowest -pix_fmt p010le",
      // AC3 Audio i have used aac both just as good
      "Audio": "aac",
      "Global": "-analyzeduration 2147483647 -probesize 2147483647 -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda",
      "Output": "-max_muxing_queue_size 1024 -abort_on empty_output"
    },
    "HandBrakeOptions": {
      // Use H265
      //--quality 27 --encoder-profile main --encoder-level 4 --colorspace bt709 --crop-mode none --enable-qsv-decoding
      "Video": "nvenc_h265_10bit -Z \"Amazon Fire 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround\" --encoder-preset slowest --optimize --colorspace bt709 --enable-qsv-decoding --encoder-profile main10 --two-pass",
      // AC3 Audio can use AAC aswell
      "Audio": "copy --audio-fallback aac"
    }
  },

The best option for me is using deinterlace becuase Handbrake converting media to HEVC results in same quality and higher compression saving allot of disk space.

As a example a 8GB Movie became 1.2GB in size when your library has over 3000+ movies this is a huge saving.

For some reason FFMPEG resulted in larger file sizes... no idea why i have not looked into it.

The problem i face is in my tests some media i convert to 265 will play with audio but all i see is a green screen but then in VLC or different devices it will show normaly. It must be something i am missing from my HandBrakeOptions:Video setting.

@ptr727 Any advice on what i can add to the command line to fix this issue.

I fixed it now.

C:\win-x64\Tools\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe -i "D:\Videos\Recordings\test.avi" --encoder nvenc_h265_10bit -Z \"Amazon Fire 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround\" --encoder-preset slowest --optimize --colorspace bt709 --enable-qsv-decoding --encoder-profile main10 --two-pass -o "C:\Videos\test.mkv"

--encoder nvenc_h265_10bit
Use h265 Nvidia GPU encoder at a maximum bitrate of 10bits

--quality 27
If you ever used HandBrake normally GUI version this is the default quality factor and i decided to stick with their default

--encoder-preset slowest
This is important this will compress the file size down as much as possible

--optimize
This will optimize the file for fast playback

These two are the most important if you use handbrakecli.exe and have experienced the greenscreen issue this is how you prevent that.
--encoder-profile main10
This will is obviously backwards compatibility with older devices as an example current Amazon Firesticks default to a encoder level of 5.2 If you have a very old iPhone your iPhone wont play the media unless this encoder level is 3 depending on what generation iphone you have.
I set this as 4 since none of my devices are older than that.
--encoder-level 4

--colorspace bt709
This is yuv420p in ffmpeg good for universal compatibility and fixing issues.

-Z \"Amazon Fire 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround\"
This uses a preset profile in Handbrake if you use the installed graphic interface version you will see the settings each preset changes but since i was having issues with playback on firesticks i use this.

--enable-qsv-decoding
Deocding the video using hardware should improve speed.

                           Be aware that not specifying a framerate lets
                           HandBrake preserve a source's time stamps,
                           potentially creating variable framerate video
   --vfr, --cfr, --pfr     Select variable, constant or peak-limited
                           frame rate control. VFR preserves the source
                           timing. CFR makes the output constant rate at
                           the rate given by the -r flag (or the source's
                           average rate if no -r is given). PFR doesn't
                           allow the rate to go over the rate specified
                           with the -r flag but won't change the source
                           timing if it's below that rate.
                           If none of these flags are given, the default
                           is --pfr when -r is given and --vfr otherwise
   --enable-hw-decoding <string>
                           Use 'nvdec' to enable NVDec
   --disable-hw-decoding   Disable hardware decoding of the video track,
                           forcing software decoding instead

Subtitles Options ------------------------------------------------------------

  --subtitle-lang-list <string>
                           Specify a comma separated list of subtitle
                           languages you would like to select from the
                           source title. By default, the first subtitle
                           matching each language will be added to your
                           output. Provide the language's ISO 639-2 code
                           (e.g. fre, eng, spa, dut, et cetera)
      --all-subtitles      Select all subtitle tracks matching languages in
                           the specified language list
                           (--subtitle-lang-list).
                           Any language if list is not specified.
      --first-subtitle     Select first subtitle track matching languages in
                           the specified language list
                           (--subtitle-lang-list).
                           Any language if list is not specified.
  -s, --subtitle <string>  Select subtitle track(s), separated by commas
                           More than one output track can be used for one
                           input. "none" for no subtitles.
                           Example: "1,2,3" for multiple tracks.
                           A special track name "scan" adds an extra first
                           pass. This extra pass scans subtitles matching
                           the language of the first audio or the language
                           selected by --native-language.
                           The one that's only used 10 percent of the time
                           or less is selected. This should locate subtitles
                           for short foreign language segments. Best used in
                           conjunction with --subtitle-forced.
  -S, --subname <string>   Set subtitle track name(s).
                           Separate tracks by commas.
  -F, --subtitle-forced[=string]
                           Only display subtitles from the selected stream
                           if the subtitle has the forced flag set. The
                           values in 'string' are indexes into the
                           subtitle list specified with '--subtitle'.
                           Separate tracks by commas.
                           Example: "1,2,3" for multiple tracks.
                           If "string" is omitted, the first track is
                           forced.

                           "Burn" the selected subtitle into the video
                           track. If "subtitle" is omitted, the first
                           track is burned. "subtitle" is an index into
                           the subtitle list specified with '--subtitle'
                           or "native" to burn the subtitle track that may
                           be added by the 'native-language' option.
      --subtitle-default[=number or "none"]
                           Flag the selected subtitle as the default
                           subtitle to be displayed upon playback.  Setting
                           no default means no subtitle will be displayed
                           automatically. 'number' is an index into the
                           subtitle list specified with '--subtitle'.
                           "none" may be used to override an automatically
                           selected default subtitle track.
  -N, --native-language <string>
                           Specify your language preference. When the first
                           audio track does not match your native language
                           then select the first subtitle that does. When
                           used in conjunction with --native-dub the audio
                           track is changed in preference to subtitles.
                           Provide the language's ISO 639-2 code
                           (e.g. fre, eng, spa, dut, et cetera)
      --native-dub         Used in conjunction with --native-language
                           requests that if no audio tracks are selected the
                           default selected audio track will be the first
                           one that matches the --native-language. If there
                           are no matching audio tracks then the first
                           matching subtitle track is used instead.
