I'm currently in the process of re-downloading everything on x265 because of the smaller files sizes. Whats do you guys think? Also has anybody experience with Tdarr?

I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

This. I actually went the opposite route to OP, replaced everything 265 to 264 to avoid playback issues. My content is played on many different devices so 265 simply won't cut it.

What kind of devices won't play x265? I've got some rather old hardware and it seems to work just fine on everything.

I sometimes stream from my 2014 ultrabook to my TV... never had a problem with x264, but some x265 encodings cut out/freeze/lag during scenes where a lot is happening (motionwise)

Same, laptop from '15, TV from '09. If you're on linux what did you use to reencode, ffmpeg? Never even occurred to me I could do that lol.

I've been using Handbrake for a while now - albeit on Windows. It is available for Linux but I can't guarantee it's the exact same experience.
