M4V-Converter

This script automates media conversion to a universal MP4 format using FFmpeg.

Fully integrates with NZBGet so that media converts automatically on post-process! SABnzbd is also supported although it does not get a WebUI config, though can still be configured using a config file!

Tested on x86-64 alpine/ubuntu/macOS and arm64 macOS (Apple Silicon/M1)

Dependencies

Requires bash version 4 or greater, ffmpeg, ffprobe and jq

Ubuntu:

apt-get update
apt-get install ffmpeg jq

Alpine:

apk update
apk add bash ffmpeg jq

macOS: Requires Homebrew

brew update
brew install bash ffmpeg jq

When using macOS the default bash is still only version 3 and if you want to use the NZBGet.app or SABnzbd.app with the script you will need to do the following to correct PATH issues:

1. Find the PATH to bash, which bash This should return either /opt/homebrew/bin/bash (arm64) or /usr/local/bin/bash (x86) depending on your Mac architecture

2. • NZBGet: Open the NZBGet webui, go to settings, extension scripts, look for ShellOverride, give it the PATH to the newer version of bash. This should look like: .sh=/opt/homebrew/bin/bash
   • SABnzbd: Edit the script, change line 1 #!/usr/bin/env bash to the PATH of the newer version of bash. This should look like: #!/opt/homebrew/bin/bash

One solution that works for both is to set a launchctl environment variable, You can do so with the following:

launchctl setenv PATH $PATH
killall Dock

If you have the NZBGet.app or SABnzbd.app already running you will need to restart them.

NOTE: If you choose not to use the launchctl solution, remember to also set the PATH for ffmpeg, ffprobe and jq in either the NZBGet webui or mp4.conf for SABnzbd

Docker Compose

Examples for docker-compose

nzbget:
  image: ghcr.io/digiex/nzbget:latest
  container_name: nzbget
  environment:
    - PUID=1000
    - PGID=1000
    - TZ=America/New_York
    - UMASK_SET=022
  volumes:
    - /path/to/appdata:/config
    - /path/to/downloads:/downloads
  ports:
    - 6789:6789
  restart: unless-stopped

sabnzbd:
  image: ghcr.io/digiex/sabnzbd:latest
  container_name: sabnzbd
  environment:
    - PUID=1000
    - PGID=1000
    - TZ=America/New_York
    - UMASK_SET=022
  volumes:
    - /path/to/appdata:/config
    - /path/to/downloads:/downloads
  ports:
    - 8080:8080
  restart: unless-stopped

Configuration

Running the script once ./mp4.sh will create a mp4.conf file, You may edit these settings to your liking. You can also specify a location to this file (if one already exists) by using -c /path/to/mp4.conf or --config=/path/to/mp4.conf.
