Do any of you have any software you can recommend for removing unwanted audio tracks and subtitles? Some of my shows and movies have multiple, and the Roku app does not follow the users set default language, leading to it playing the wrong track when autoplaying.

I’ve tried unmanic, but its unfortunately too heavy for my server, just slows everything to a crawl.

    Tdarr will do this but if your server is struggling with unmanic then no solution will work well for you. I think possibly you might be doing more than just remuxing to remove audio and subs if it’s thrashing your server.

      That’s what I’ve been thinking, but I don’t know how that could be happening. I only have a plugin to remove unwanted audio tracks and another to remove unwanted subs enabled. Despite this, whenever I start the container every other service on the server becomes unusable.

      It’s especially confusing because the server can handle transcoding multiple streams on Jellyfin at the same time without a problem.

        stupid question, but does your server have a video card or only the CPU’s (or SOC’s) built-in GPU?

        If you do, you might want to make sure you’ve configured ffmpeg to use the hardware acceleration

        Also, could be that unmanic is trying to reencode the files, which would eat up wayyyyyyyy more resources than necessary. It looks like the least overhead/performance hungry option will be to just run ffmpeg directly, so you know exactly what’s being done.

          It does have a GPU and Jellyfin is set up to use it, but I might need to do some more work to get unmanic to use it since it’s in a container. I didn’t think it would need my GPU for this since it shouldn’t require transcoding.
