Muxarr is amazing (lemmy.world)

Two days ago, I posted to this community asking for help with managing subtitles and audio tracks on my media server (and removing the ones I don't need). @ohulancutash@feddit.uk suggested I try Muxarr which looked promising, so I set it up yesterday.

First impressions were good, the setup was really easy and I set up the profile I wanted in around 10 minutes (only keeping the English and original audio tracks, and only English subtitles). I enqueued all my files (there's a big green button in the top left which I somehow missed for a few seconds, but that's on me) and it started doing its thing. It did take a while to process my nearly 3000 files so I left it running overnight. I came back this morning to find it had worked perfectly and all my media had the unwanted tracks removed.

What's possibly even more impressive though, and something I wasn't expecting, was that removing all that unneeded data had freed a whopping 135GB of storage!! I only have 8tb available total and with storage prices as they are right now, that's really quite a significant amount to just be sitting there holding data that will never be used.

I just wanted to take a few minutes out of my day to write this and thank @ohulancutash@feddit.uk and this community for recommending Muxarr to me and spread the word to others who didn't know about it like me two days ago

You can easily set it to keep the default Japanese language and English subtitles for the anime and English audio and subs for everything else. I created 2 profiles. Main profile for everything non-anime to keep english audio and subs and an anime profile to keep Japanese audio and English subs. It remuxes everything, keeps it all in its directories and doesnt change filenames or anything, just removes unwanted tracks and subs and library remains intact in Jellyfin/Plex.
