I've been searching a way to do this with my video library, as there are many videos I want to keep long-term but it's going to add up in the space I need.
So, I've been trying to find an "automated" solution that will take each h.264 and x.265 file and convert them automatically to AV1 at an appropriate ratio, replacing the original file, hopefully saving maybe more than 50% of space with the result.
My Jellyfin server is just sitting there doing not much most of the time. If it could passively compress my videos in the background, that would be perfect!
Any idea on how hard this would be to implement as a feature or plugin?
