wandarr 1.x Examples

There are many different configurations you can create, from the very simple to a complex clustered workhorse. These are some examples to try and cover the somewhat confusing but powerful configuration.

As mentioned in the README, the configuration is divided into sections:

1. config - general configuration options
2. cluster - definition of all hosts that will perform transcoding
3. engines - definition of all transcoding capabilities and supported qualities
4. templates - configured templates to determine how to transcode

For these examples I will abbreviate many settings. You can consult the config-samples folder for full samples.

Running on a Windows machine only, using Intel QSV acceleration

C:\ wandarr -t norm m:\volumes1\media\video\new*.mp4

cluster:
  mbp:
    os: windows
    type: local
    working_dir: c:/tmp
    ffmpeg: 'c:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe'
    engines:
      - qsv
    status: enabled

engines:
  qsv:
    quality:
      low: "-c:v hevc_qsv -preset medium -qp 23 -b:v 3000K -f matroska -max_muxing_queue_size 1024"
      medium: "-c:v hevc_qsv -preset medium -qp 23 -b:v 7000K -f matroska -max_muxing_queue_size 1024"

templates:
  norm:
    cli:
      audio: "-c:a copy"
      subtitles: "-c:s copy"
    video-quality: medium
    audio-lang: eng
    subtitle-lang: eng
    threshold: 15
    threshold_check: 20
    extension: '.mkv'

Add in a Linux server to the configuration above to make a true cluster with file sharing

To do this we need a way to share the media with the linux machine.
For this case we'll assume the files are on a file server or shared volume on the Windows machine.

Also, since we're defining a mounted type (access to shared files) we are required to have password-less ssh access to this linux machine. Based on the configuration below we should be able to run this command without asking for a password because wandarr will need to do it:

C:\ ssh [email protected]

This involves ssh authentication sharing between Windows and Linux. If this is more technically detailed than you want, see the next example.

  mylinuxserver:
    os: linux
    type: mounted
    working_dir: /tmp
    ip: 192.168.2.65
    user: happygilmore
    ffmpeg: '/usr/bin/ffmpeg'
    engines:
      - qsv
    path-substitutions:
      - 'm:\media /mnt/media'
    status: enabled

This machine also just has Intel QSV capabilities.  Now we have 2 machines that support the _qsv_ engine definition.
We're officially a cluster now!
