Interest in off-topic guides/in-depth discussions?

[bitmap]

I'm curious what folks might have interest in. There are a lot of questions around topics that don't quite fit with Jellyfin specifically that members have expertise in and I've found disparate resources in a lot of spots, but never all together. For example, I just threw together a really dirty script for compiling the newest ffmpeg with all the libraries I need to do AV1 encoding with QuickSync (I think). It took me probably 20 tries, the Ubuntu documentation is wrong, I found little tidbits from like ten different sources that helped me out to craft a better script, and I put it all in one understandable script.

I can throw it on Github, but I could also share it here if there's interest.

Another topic is using ffmpeg and related tools for re-encoding media. Discussions around ffmpeg options or effective practices would be helpful for me, as I could share what I've found. I already helped (or tried) somebody with some ab-av1 information that I'd be happy to share here, as I'm learning more and more each iteration I run. I am also digging deeper into the ffmpeg abyss and trying to wrap my head around the more complex filters, options, and why certain things would be specified, if they're required, encoding vs. transcoding options, all of that.

Currently? It's all in a file on my desktop since it doesn't really serve a purpose for anybody else. But it could, if anybody else is looking to use a tool like ab-av1 or running finely-customized ffmpeg bash scripts against folders for batch encoding media files. But I'm not sure if that's a) a direction anybody wants to go in or b) something there's interest in bringing to the table.

I'd also be interested in refining what I have and possibly creating something better than what's available out there now, as Unmanic and tdarr are like a shotgun that takes a week to load and bruises your shoulder while obliterating your media if you're not 1000% precise (which is hard to do). Thoughts?
