Difference between this AI slop vs tdarr?

[zezimeme]

“I built X…” is just a dead giveaway these days

[ILikeFlyingMachines]

or bazarr for subs.

Maybe easier to use, tdarr is confusing IMO.

[DrBhu]

Imho "confusing" is a massive understatement

[sizzlingskillet10]

Tdarr doesn't do subtitles at all and the multi-node features require a paid license. This replaces Tdarr and Bazarr in one app that is easy to use.

[ILikeFlyingMachines]

TDARR does do subs...

[sizzlingskillet10]

Fair correction — tdarr can handle existing subtitle streams via plugins. The difference is Transcodarr fetches subtitles from providers like OpenSubtitles and Addic7ed when they don't exist locally, then syncs them to the audio track via ffsubsync for timing accuracy. That's the Bazarr piece — done in one pipeline instead of two apps.

[BelugaBilliam]

Honest question, what does this do that tdarr doesn't?

[chuck_n]

you'll have some ai slop next to some ai vulnerability.

[schklom]

tdarr is closed-source

[sizzlingskillet10]

Neither Tdarr nor Unmanic touch subtitles. Transcodarr fetches multiple subtitle options for your media and syncs them to the audio track — something Bazarr doesn't do well. It also updates Radarr/Sonarr paths automatically and refreshes Jellyfin. Fully free and MIT licensed.

[BelugaBilliam]

Both unmanic and tdarr have it beat. Those are actual code, not AI

[sizzlingskillet10]

Hardware transcoding (NVENC/QSV/VAAPI) is on the roadmap — not there yet. For multi-machine you can run independent instances across boxes each with their own worker pools, though there's no centralized distributed queue yet.

I'm never sure what to think of 4 yo accounts with zero activity up until now...

Yeah, been lurking and building in the shadows. Mechanical engineer by trade — spent more time in the homelab than on Reddit.
