Okay so I just went a private general tracker and looked up an av1 movie. It is a 2014 feature film encoded by the WhiskyJack group (the better trackers don’t allow AV1 content yet). For this film, the audio codec is Opus. I looked in the nfo and for the audio file, it says that they are using Opus 5.1 with a 32 bit rate. That’s not ideal. For 6-channel audio, we recommend 256 kb/s. 192 is acceptable, but it’s going to be another 20 megabytes to bump it up to 256, so why not do it?
Also, it doesn’t tell you what the source is. So if the original audio was ac3 or e-ac3, it is not going to sound great.
I’m pretty active in the av1 community. Most of us who use av1 encode our own from the raw blurays or high quality remuxes. Besides the av1 content on public trackers, I think I saw a group called onlyfaffs and another one called WhiskyJack who were both putting out some av1 content, but imo, their filesizes are too large, so I avoid them if possible.
The other thing to worry about is that most people who use av1 also convert the audio to opus. Fully opensource codecs and all that. The issue is you don’t know what bitrate they are using for their conversion. So audio is a concern too when downloading av1 content.

I don’t have an extra invite tho… maybe someone else does?
You can rename the files using qBit. Just use its “rename files” feature. You can also rename folders this way.
As far as tagging in musicbrainz, I don’t think you will be able to do that because it will mean that you will have changed the contents of the files themselves. I could be wrong on that and someone else might be able to tell you how to do it though.
You absolutely could automate it, but I personally enjoy making the encodes, so I don’t. Especially with movies, sometimes you use opus but on a select few, like the Dune movies, I keep the original atmos audio because it makes the movie experience better imo.
But for tv series, my ffmpeg settings are pretty static so it would be trivial to automate that.
So Jellyfin by default uses The Movie Database. However, you can manually direct Jellyfin to use The TV Database for specific TV shows if you want. You just have to rename the Series folder. In The TVDB, Pokemon Journey’s is Season 19.
To have JF use The MovieDB, you have your rename the Series folder: Pokémon (1997) [tmdbid-60572]
. To use the TVDB, the Series folder would be renamed to: Pokémon (1997) [tvdbid-76703]
.
Unfortunately, JF doesn’t support IMDB for TV. Only movies. Neither is ideal for your use-case though. Sorry dude.
This is the only thing I could find on it. Seems it’s still in testing.
Hopefully soon though!
This is really cool.
One thing that I find really helpful is when authors put a sample docker-compose.yml
in their repository and link to it from the readme.md. Helps with the initial lift of getting started.
Just so you know, the example docker compose file has /downloads as the only volume option for media. So I pointed the internal docker folder /downloads at my whole music library.
So you’re almost certainly banning people who are sharing their whole library if they are using the default docker compose file. For example, you would ban me by that rationale.
Dolby Digital (e-ac & e-ac3) are lossy codecs. So transcoding a lossy codec to a lossless codec, is not a good idea.
