As of Plex Media Server v1.19.3, the postprocessing script must be called from the Scripts directory inside the application data directory. This allows you to quickly set up plex-dvr on your server.

• comskip: https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip
• comcut: https://github.com/BrettSheleski/comchap
• ccextractor: https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor
• ffmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org/
• HandbrakeCLI: https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

# from (application data directory)/Scripts
git clone git@github.com:gesa/plex-dvr-run.git
cd plex-dvr-run
npm i

Then, in your Plex Media Server DVR settings, set your DVR's postprocessing script to plex-dvr-run/run.

To customize for your system after running the quick start, run npx plex-dvr --sample-config. This will dump a sample config.json into the console, along with printing the config directory path.

Save your comskip.ini file in the config directory. See the tuning document for more information.

Run HandBrakeCLI --help to see a list of available enocoders on your system, replacing the value in the config with your choice. Run HandBrakeCLI --encoder-preset-list [your encoder] to see available presets, pick one to add to your config.
