How do I set up a flow using DV tools to compress Dolby Vision files?

I recently got Tdarr installed and have been meticulously setting up my flow before letting it loose on my library. My goals are primarily space-saving, file standardization, broad compatibility, and cleaning up junk like unused subtitles. I am trying to set up my flow to compress larger files but am finding that most of my really large-file movies (50-120 GB) are Dolby Vision. These are the ones I want to compress the most, but I don't want to mess up the HDR metadata and would prefer to preserve the DV if possible.

In searching online, I found some community plugins that allow working with DV, but I am having a hard time understanding how to implement them. I can't find any videos or walkthroughs either. The one I got installed is this, but I am open to others.

Any tips on handling this situation are appreciated! Or if not Tdarr, is there another method?

Is it possible to only remove non-commentary audio titles?

I want to create a flow that removes audio stream titles that do not include the word "Commentary", and I want to keep the audio stream titles that include the word "Commentary".

Is this possible? I cannot get it to work, because the audio stream order changes due to unwanted languages removing some audio streams

Flows Randomly Fail with 501 Status Code Error/Failed to Download File

Hello all,

I have an issue with Tdarr I have been trying to resolve and have not been able to find the answer online or on other forums. I run my server on just regular Windows 11 pro. In my flow, there are 2 actions that Tdarr will randomly fail on with the same error. It runs successfully more often than it fails, but still enough that it is an issue.

I use remote path mappings in my Sonarr setup so that SABnzbd downloads the file to TdarrTV folder, Tdarr performs the work, then copies the file to SABnzbd Downloads folder and deletes the one in TdarrTV. Tdarr then notifies Sonarr and Sonarr grabs the file from SABnzbd downloads. This is a screenshot of the flow:

The first flow Tdarr will randomly fail on is the Delete File flow. This happens more than the other. I have not been able to figure out what causes this to occur and truly seems to be random. It will say the download failed after 5 attempts and give a error 501 status code.

The second flow Tdarr will randomly fail on is the notify Sonarr Flow. This happens less than the first flow that fails, but also still appears to occur randomly. It will give the same error code and fail to notify Sonarr.

I would say overall files flow with no errors 75 percent of the time. 20 percent of the fails will be the Delete file flow error. Then 5 percent of the time it will be the notify sonarr failure.

From what I gathered online, most forums referencing the 501 error code are tied to permissions. Which would make sense to me if this error was happening every single time, but its not. Any help or suggestions would be awesome!

It's been 6 hours

Should I really wait like 30 days for this to finish? Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but things are moving pretty slowly and I have almost 10k files.

I'm so bad @ Tdarr, is sharing flows allowed here?

I just need a simple flow that strips away all non-english subs and non-english audio.

TDARR taking up more space than saving

Hello TDARR community,

I set up TDARR as a native TrueNAS application, hooked up my main rig as a node.
After successfully setting everything up, I got to transcoding.

1 - 2 days later my 300-something movies ran through the process with a couple of them needing transcoding.

According to the stats page on TDARR, I saved roughly 260 GB of space. When I checked my storage usage on TrueNAS, it went up 2 TB.

Now my storage pool is full and I can't seem to figure our where those 2TB worth of files are.

I checked ever single movies folder to see if there is 2 files in there by chance - not the case.

Transcode Cache folder is empty.

When I checked the Library settings on TDARR, I stumbled across the . (period) directory that was set as the output folder, but I don't know where that is.

Now I am at a loss on what to do to reclaim my lost storage space.
