jellyfin_compatibility_converter.sh

Convert your files in the most compatible format for Jellyfin clients

Prerequisits:

This script is intended to be executed from Jellyfin but should work with every ffmpeg installation

• ffmpeg
• A working GPU decoding setup if you want GPU transcode
• • Install needed dependencies IN container to have tonemap

enable tonemap capability for GPU:

docker exec -it $jellyfin bash

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list  
apt-get update  
apt-get install aptitude
aptitude install nvidia-opencl-icd

Usage:

It will look in $inputpath for MKV movies and convert them to x264 SDR to $outputpath I recommand using tmux to start process

• Put script in a jellyfin container accessible folder

• If no outputpath is specified, original file will be overwritten

• You can set a maximum amount of files to process

• Use arguments to process only video or audio

• Specify a blacklist

• Make it executable

docker exec $jellyfin chmod +x jellyfin_compatibility_converter.sh

• Run it
• • Connect into container

docker exec -u root:users -it $jellyfin bash

• • Run for every movie in $inputpath

bash jellyfin_compatibility_converter.sh

compatibility_checker.sh

Usage:

Executing the script like this works but is not perfect - suggestions welcome!

• Put script in a jellyfin container accessible folder

• Edit the configuration in the script especially the path

• • Input path - script will recurse if there are subfolders

• Run it

• • Connect into container

docker exec -it $jellyfin bash

• • Run for every movie in $inputpath

bash /path/to/compatibility_checker.sh
