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

It's kind of amazing how much stuff is out there, isn't it?

How does this compare to bazarr?

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I think they aim to accomplish different things. Muxarr doesn't download any new subtitles or audio tracks, only deletes and renames ones already present in the file

Heck yeah!! Good to know as I have nearing 100TB of storage 😅. Would be nice to shave that down a little!

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Jealous of people with that much storage right now 😅. My setup is small, just an HP mini PC with an m.2 to sata adapter with 2 SSDs in raid0 lol (don't worry my important stuff is backed up off-site). I have 4 free slots left on the adapter still but this AI bubble needs to burst before I can justify spending money on 4 more drives and setting up a ZFS pool

[–] hendu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This sounds awesome. Do you know if it has an option to ignore files that are still seeding?

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Not as far as I'm aware. Unless Sonarr/Radarr has the capability to only send a webhook request when a file stops seeding

[–] Noggog@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

Sounds great in theory, but I always feel bad transforming my data too much so I can no longer seed, hah. Maybe someday

[–] matron1049@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

I gave it a shot as well. Agree, it works great!

[–] ItsNotImportant24@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

This is great. Set it up in a few minutes and just started and already saved a couple GB in just a handful of movies. Tested the conversions and it worked like a charm. Thanks for this, had no clue this existed.

How is the experience with anime? I prefer Japanese audio + english subs for anime specifically, and english audio + english subs for everything else.

[–] ItsNotImportant24@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 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.

I’ve been using Unmanic on my unRAID server but good to know what other options are out there.
