Slightly overwhelmed with Tdarr...help? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys!

I'm trying to re-compress a few TV shows that are mostly animation to some animation-friendly codec (HEVC 10bit, maybe even AV1), to reduce the storage it takes on the NAS (I'm looking at you, One Piece/Simpsons!). I've used handbrake with full folders to handle whole seasons of a TV show before, but that was a bit frustrating to run on my desktop PC, hence the install of Tdarr. However it's a bit...overwhelming with all the options, without quite hinting what each one does. I'm adding a...library. Ok, what's the library? Is it say, an -arr full TV Shows library? Or should I add one library per TV show (custom specific settings for each one?). How do I work...with the transcode options? I see it's all drag-drop, but I'm not sure of all these options.

I'd like to transcode to say, HEVC 10bit, reduce perhaps audio with Opus or AAC, and keep same tracks and subs. How would I go about this?

THanks!

So I'm still using my original setup and have NOT learned the new flow system so i cannot help with that. My suggestion is to set up a test library and don't delete the source material. Watch some tutorials and work on single tracks. Get the video how you like it first then work on audio.

My tv shows are one library and my movies are another.
