Docker app from geiserx's Repository
Overview
Monitors a media library and automatically transcodes videos to 720p in HEVC or AV1 codec with hardware acceleration (NVIDIA NVENC or Intel QSV). Creates symlinks for Jellyfin version management with configurable filename suffixes. Includes periodic cleanup of orphaned symlinks.
For NVIDIA GPU: Pass through the GPU runtime. For Intel QSV: Map /dev/dri.
