Tdarr nodes

  • Home Assistant - This node can only use CPU transcoding and is trash. It's running alongside the server
    • Ideally it should be using VA-API, but it either is not, or this CPU doesn't support H.265
  • MediaPC - /opt/Tdarr/Tdarr_Node
  • Pop_OS Dell - /opt/Tdarr/Tdarr_Node
    • Laptop. Can stop service when needed with: sudo service tdarr stop
